Franchises Need Not Be Pricey!

You heard it here first - Many franchises are over-priced. 

The franchise industry is full of great business concepts and, unfortunately, many not-so-great-concepts.  Those that are successful charge a very high premium for their franchise...and (somewhat) rightly so.  Some not-so-hot ideas are out there, too.  And they want to charge a premium, too.  Not rightly so.

We've specifically decided to price our pavement marking and line striping franchise way below its true value.  We want to find a way to put good people into business and not break the bank.  While $25,000 franchise Fees are the norm these days, we have priced our Franchise Fee at just $4975.  Including equipment, you're "all in" for under $20K! 

Our affiliate BLACK DAWG SEALCOAT (www.BlackDawgSealcoat.com) and its parent organization, BLACK DAWG FRANCHISE GROUP LLC (www.BlackDawgFranchise.com) share the same goals of helping the right people enter the business market withour draining all their resources.

With all the doom and gloom starting to abate, the good news is this - there's been a nationwide "reset" at many levels and the franchise world is slowing coming around.  I've noticed "recession deals" from some franchisors trying to stimulate interest....larger territories, royalty grace periods and such.  That's a good thing.

Look for more discounting on Franchise Fees and Territory Fees from those accustomed to getting $25,000, $50,000 and more for their franchise fees.  Do your homework.  Ask lots of questions.

Be careful out there!
