We do not work well with people who need a lot of instruction
Company decisions are not bound by the Overton Window. We are willing to consider the unorthodox and weigh the trade offs.

Over 60% of Americans want to own a business. But why don’t more pursue their dreams? The technology exists, the information is online, and ideas are a dime a dozen. For aspiring small business owners, the problem is that starting a business requires too much sacrifice; it’s either too long time-to-value (“going solo” is often a strenuous expedition) or too expensive (franchises require $100K or more in initial financing).
The value of a modern franchisor lies in its brand and process know-how. They know how to source a product. They know what systems to use. They know what ingredients or formula to use to produce a product. Prior to the internet, the distribution of this information was labor intensive which is why they got away with a six figure price tag. But the internet dramatically lowered the cost of distribution and has the ability to level the playing field. We are in a digital world where keeping the “know-how” behind the steel curtains of the franchisor inhibits economic development, but franchisors have yet to adopt.
