The Franchise Owners Fix Kit
Built for franchise owners.
A franchise is a business with a second set of books running on top of yours: royalties, ad fund contributions, technology fees, required suppliers, remodel schedules and renewal terms, all written in a disclosure document and an agreement most owners read once. The leaks are in that paper and in the gap between it and your own sales, invoices and statements. Every fix here starts from your FDD, your agreement and your own numbers. This kit finds where the money leaks in your own work and gives you the steps and the words to close each one.

Your part: Run the comparison yourself.
Note to myself: Item 7 estimate: [LOW - HIGH]. Actual opening cost: [AMOUNT]. Lines over: [LINE, ESTIMATE, ACTUAL]. Total over: [AMOUNT].
Track actuals against Item 7 for any new unit.
