Franchise and Business Opportunties The Reality

The Reality:

What they are selling you is the training and support systems. Victims have been lured into spending thousands of dollars with nothing to show for it but a huge debt. Anyone who really had business ideas this good would never offer this information to thousands of others. They would simply use it themselves.

Things to especially look out for in these advertisings are:




* Urges you to call an "800" number.
* Makes wild and unsubstantiated claims about potential earnings.
* States no experience is necessary.
* Promise exclusive territories, good locations for vending machines or display racks, or the assistance of a professional locator.
* Rely on high-pressure telemarketing sales techniques.
* Fails to provide a list of all current business opportunity owners in the region but instead gives a handpicked selection of references.
* Failure to provide prospective investors with a complete disclosure document containing pre-sale disclosures about their experience, lawsuit history, audited financial statements, and substantiation for any representations made about earnings.
