  1. Questionable profitability.
  2. High start-up costs.
  3. Encroachment.
  4. Lack of legal recourse.
  5. Limited independence.
  6. Royalty payments.
  7. Inflated pricing on supplies.
  8. Restrictions on post-term competition.
  9. Advertising fees.

    What you are saying is so true. I owned an Adventures In Advertising Franchise and it just was not worth the time and hassle. I got better service from ipromoteu.com with a smile and less then $100.00/month.
