Hi - no, in short it means you cannot own a store.  \n\nStarbucks locations are corporate owned.  That means that each and every manager, employee in your local Starbucks is a Starbucks corporate employee.  I believe Subway is a franchise, which means you purchase the rights to open up your own Subway store, hire your own employees, etc., but you must run the business according to a huge list of rules and requirements (such as having the same menu, sign, etc).\n\nIf you are interested in investing in this way, you want to find a chain that does franchising (or just open up your own business).\n\ngood luck,\n--Jeff, Beaverton OR \nHigh Tech manager and small business owner

Basically, if the franchise writer thinks you did not work hard enough to make the business work, they can take away your franchise and not pay you back anything.\n\nAre you certain you want to enter into a franchise?  The costs and monetary risks can be high.  I have an opportunity if you are interested, write me (wasdadd) at yahoo.

I'm not clear what you mean by franchise.  Their are a limited amount of currencies in the world, most are freely convertable and can be exchanged.  Each nation sets the regulations for how that exchange works within its borders. In most cases that means that it licences banks and a few other financial institutions to provide currency exchange services.  But they will usually be the same banks whereever you are in the world.

You gotta read the following article to get the whole picture ===>\n\n\nIntrepreneur or entrepreneur?\n\nQuite often you hear people talking about franchisees as entrepreneurs. They are wrong! True entrepreneurs will die of frustration in a franchise system because they want to do everything their own way. \n\nIf you really look at the type of person it takes to be successful in most franchise situations, what is really needed is an intrepreneur. \n\nEntrepreneurs tend to be highly independent. \nThey take a lot of risks and don't need anyone to motivate them. Intrepreneurs are self-managers as well. One huge difference though is that they like to work within guidelines in concert with other people. Intrepreneurs can be creative within a structure. The entrepreneur needs to create his or her own structure. \n\nEntrepreneurs get bored quickly. \nUsually within a year or so they will attempt to find excuses to get out of the system. Or even worse, they stay and start changing your system. These people can absolutely drive you nuts! They believe that they know better than you do how to run your business. \n\nOf course, the more units the franchisee owns, the more entrepreneurial the franchisee needs to be. However, there are still limits. The individual must still feel comfortable working within the system. The last thing you want is for someone who owns 30 or more locations to suddenly veer off in a direction totally different from the rest of the company. \n\nGoing too far the other way is even worse. Selecting people that are not entrepreneurial enough can be a huge drain on your company's resources. They like to be in constant contact with head office and seek approval for every little change they are contemplating. \n\nHere's an analogy \nI use this analogy to help describe the three different levels of independence. \n\nImagine you have just hired an individual and are showing them their office. \n\n\nThe employee type \n\nYou take them to the office, open the door to their work area and everything is laid out for them. You tell them not to move things around at all and they go in and do the job and they are happy. \n\n\nThe intrepreneur \n\nYou take them to the office, walk them down the hall to a pile of furniture and supplies piled up outside the door. Unlock the door and tell them to go in and set things up the way they want. To use some creativity within the structure and they are happy. \n\n\nThe entrepreneur \n\nYou walk them over to your vacant lot and tell them to build the office building and they are happy. \n\nFranchisors who want their company to grow need all three. \nFor the first 15 to 20 outlets the franchisor needs entrepreneurs, aggressive sellers and risk takers to build the business. Once systems are worked out and are up and running, intrepreneurs should be targeted. This is the time that entrepreneurs will likely to move on (voluntarily or otherwise) to new challenges. \n\nI've seen some retail store franchises get to 15 to 20 stores and then growth stalls. Rather than modifying their selection criteria, the franchisor continues with what worked in the past. They keep looking for more entrepreneurs. To cut down on franchisee turnovers, the selection criteria should be modified to target intrepreneurs instead. \n\nWith large franchises with hundreds of outlets the employee type of franchisee tends to work out best. Everything is laid out and there is no room for creativity. Everyone in the system knows exactly how many seconds it takes to "flip the burger". \n\nJust how important is independence in a franchisee? \nOur research has shown that when predicting sales volume, the candidate's independence level has a weighting of 9%. When giving on an overall recommendation, the weighting jumps to 16%. \n\nThis apparent low predictive value may very well be the result of the non-linear relationship between independence and performance. Unlike the linear relationships between
