Franchising Relationships, Legal Issues, Notices and CommunicationsIn the World of Franchising every thing must be documented as the relationships could go South and turn into litigation. It has not always been this way, however due to the number of attorneys trying to scrap the creme off the money flows in the industry it has become a constant legal game.

Tr It's A Crisis If There's No PlanWe all understand the importance of perception. The line
between perception and reality is often quite thin. Actions

financial expenditure, and the energy spent in cultivating a
high profile — can be dashed by one ill-handed
communications disaster.Enlightened companies, from neighborhood restaurants
and retailers to multinational merchants and manufacturers,
have a risk management plan for dealing with a disaster.
They buy insurance in event of fire, make contingency plans

Tr Getting Into The Business Of Image ConsultingYou feel like you’re a square peg in a round hole at the office. You see yourself as a fashion icon or someone who knows the latest trends in clothing, make up and accessories and who dresses and acts in like manner. You have used your knowledge to help out your fashion-challenged friends and family members, turning them from dowdy ducks into graceful swans through the right clothes, the correct make-up and a few lessons in proper bearing, walk and projection.However, you’re working in an office where the majority dress as if they were stuck in the fifties.You decide it’s time to look for more suitable employment, perhaps in a company where the dress code is much more suited to your style.
