@HotLine1 so what you are saying is the franchise for Mr Electric is registered in another company name for licensing? That does not sound too professional to me?

For $30K you get all the advice and use of their systems like accounts, how to run the business, marketing help (but they don’t write the marketing plan for you). You have to buy the van and wrap it.

They are a little vague on the projections for national accounts. I guess that is because they can’t guarantee them in your area. So one franchisee may get lots while others do not.

I’ve been looking round the forums and there is some useful information on various forums including the British electrical and business forums, where I have found some very insightful information about Mr Electric In the UK. See this link

@renosteinke thanks for your comments, I was starting to build up a similar opinion but I have since found this legal case, which certainly worries me.
