		<description>It sounds just like the practical book needed for people wanting to enter franchising.

Joel have you promoted this book to Franchise Associations around the world eg. Australia as it sounds like it would be a great resource.</description>

		<description>For anyone thinking of starting a franchise, this seems like a good place to start.  It sounds like Joel walks you thru everything you need to consider from start to finish.  There is no such thing as being too prepared.</description>
