Please help us get a better understanding of your wishes--as you now see them. We should plan to review these preferences and make changes as you review different franchise systems.

Risk Tolerance New companies begin selling franchises every year. Can you envision yourself joining a young franchisor (one with less than 25 units) if all the signs pointed to "Go?"

I'd dig ditches or sell flowers door-to-door if the opportunity is right!

Income Is your goal to build your business to make the maximum amount of money possible? or, Do you envision yourself slowing down when you achieve a certain income level? How much income would be enough?
