SIGN-A-RAMA SIGN-A-RAMA ripoff BERKELEY California

It amazes me that these people buy these businesses and don't have a clue on how they work. If you are planning on buying a franchise, you need to work in that line of business BEFORE you buy one. I know a woman who bought a frame franchise for $100,000. She got 2 weeks on the job training in another franchisee's store prior to being dumped into her own store.

She didn't know jack about framing after 2 weeks and had to hire an expensive employee who did. She got set up in a very high rent mall with a 3 year lease. Has to pay the company 1-015% of her gross for thenext 10 years. Bound to fail. Another person bought a sandwich franchise. Found he didn't like the long hours, being around food and demanding customers.

Now, less then a year later, he's trying to sell it off to someone else. Good luck. If you're going to buy a franchise, go to work in that field as an employee for at least 3 months, 6 months would be better to see how you like it before investing your hard earned money.
