How can you infer they don't have the money? What is your source of this information. Let's start right there. "If they had the money, they would do it themselves." Are you privy to their business plan? Again, what is your source that they don't have money and why do you say they should do it themselves? I want an answer, not just some pontificating mumbo jumbo which translates to nothing

"Heck Kinko's can swing a deal with a brokerage and PCQuote as easily as the boys from Boca. " What an idea! In my part of the country all the kinko's have several computers already set up... I can see the ad campaign now: "Make a Copy, Make a Trade" The infrastructure is already there. Same kind of thing could be done at Office Depot, Staples or Office Max. And as you say "...as easily as the boys from Boca." It is not that hard and much easier than building each trading room by yourself from scratch. Pretty smart if you ask me. "So what upside opportunity really exists. If there was any the boys that swing the heavy lumber would be flattening all competitors. " If that was true, then there would be only one restaurant chain, only one brokerage company, only one supermarket chain, only one automobile manufacturer...and so on. Again, you promote an idea you cannot possibly believe yourself, because it is so utterly silly. "Franchising? Come on. If they had the money they would do it themselves. Who are you kidding? " Right. Franchising, what a stupid idea. You want us to believe that no one in their right mind would consider franchising. It is you who are not in your right mind. Again, you promote an idea you cannot possibly believe yourself, because it is so utterly silly. You are digging a deeper and deeper hole for yourself. Keep it up. PCM GO PABN!!!

jhild. the great majority of people using i.t. and the like are trading pennies...the great majority of people trading pennies are losing because they have neither the will, the patience, or the discipline required to succeed...you know that... it is the individual who lacks what he needs to make it...why do you spin such a lie about it...you do know better.. why would you purport to blame it on the company...and dont call me a sanctimonious anything...you are a freakin lunatic...

Did you know that you can buy a franchise for $20,000 that will set you up blowing up balloons and Hosting kid parties? Did you know that for $15,000 you can buy a blind cleaning franchise? Did you know for $385,000 you can buy a Wendy's franchise. Did you know if you buy a Boston Chicken Franchise you have to commit to opening 3 more within 5 years, at $250,000 a pop (not including Building, land working capital, inventory) BUT>>>> Did you know that 80% of franchises succeed? I am of the opinion that the only way a small business will grow to succeed is through franchising, because a One or two store operation won't make it long term (Odds are against it anyway) Coles books (now owned by smith books) Had 1000 locations and their annual goal was to earn $1000 net profit after taxes per store. Can't do that with 2 stores and survive. If IT can make the franchise work and sell at least 200 units, they will make it. Especially if IT leases the Location, and then re- leases at a higher price to their Franchisees. It will take at least 5 years to unfold, and the Franchise registrations will be about $50,000 in each state.
