The Process of Buying a Franchise

The history of franchising goes back to the Middle Ages but it reached its economic apex in the 1970's in the United States. Franchising has been enjoying a resurgence that started in the late 1980's. The success of franchising has attracted some inexperienced and occasionally fraudulent franchisors. In 1979, the federal government implemented a law to protect consumers from fraudulent franchisors. However, the old Latin saying, "caveat emptor", or "let the buyer beware", still applies when it comes to buying a franchise.
