		<description>Hi David,

Thanks for stopping by this Small Business blog.

(One could spend weeks perusing and learning here.)

I agree with you, for sure. However, there a few semi-absent models that work. And well.

		<description>Hey Joel just stopping in to check out some more of your work.  I wanted to address the semi abscent franchisee and tell you that as franchisors it&#039;s very important to note that usually the most successful franchise owners are those that are really involved on a day-to-day basis.  Let&#039;s face it if you are a franchise owner no one will look after your business like you will.  This is not to say that you can&#039;t be successful in this way however, it could cause some other headaches and make sure your franchisor is up front about such issues.</description>

		<description>Nearly two years after this article was published, the trend of &quot;Green Food Franchises&quot; still exists and seems to grow even stronger and the question &quot;Are you feeling green yet?&quot; becomes more and more important! 

Franchise-consultor Veronika Bellone tries to explain this by saying that so-called LOHAS (Lifestyle of Health and Sustainability), a growing section of the population who are thinking and acting in a health-conscious way, are the driving forces of this trend.

		<description>I think anyone interested in launching an industry specific franchise should consider the following:

1. How much do you know about the franchise business. 
2. Would you enjoy working in that specific field. 
3. What is the total investment (time and capital) required to succeed in the business. 
4. The strength of the franchisor. 

Always do your due diligence and never allow the franchior to pressure you into making a decision before you are ready.  

If you would like to search franchise opportunities you may visit Franchise Farm at www.franfarm.com.</description>
