Instructions for the assignment:
Take some time to research different franchises. Go to their websites and look through their social media accounts. Decide on one franchise that you would invest in. Not all businesses offer franchise opportunities, so you may have to search through a few different companies. Typically, franchise information is located on the bottom of a company’s website. Answer the following questions.
1. a. Name the business you would invest in.
b. List their name and website.
c. Describe the requirements of owning the franchise you mentioned in #1. (financial obligations of net worth, liquid assets, qualifications, etc.)
