Franchises without restrictions…
I’ve found an interesting material named “All new type of franchise allows franchisees to operate with minimal restrictions” (http://www.prweb.com/releases/2006/5/prweb378926.htm). The author states that we will see the birth of a new world of franchising. He calls this “freedom franchises” as they don’t include all or some of the traditional limitations (geographical, marketing and so on) and some payments (fees and royalties).
Â
As for me it sounds too good. It’s like a free lunch… The opportunity cost may be hidden in unpopularity of this or that business idea, necessity to attract a substantial capital, high other payments or even low future profit.

I hope I’m wrong….

Tragically I’m confident your cynicism is well founded.
