huh?  You mean of a business you already have? A franchise means an offshoot of an existing business, like you can buy a McDonalds or Quizno's Or Kinko's franchise.

You need to go straight to the power.  Talk to your principle and if that dont work go to the board of ed. in your town.  You need to have a lot of people interested(enough to make a team).

You have to get people interested in your business. Preferrably inmvestors, entreprenuers or people with alot of money! If your business is popular they will ask if they can buy a licence to operate a restaurant with your businesses name and methods (i.e a franchise). The business will grow in popularity, and so will the number of restaurants!\nGood luck with franchising!

OK, do you really want to nock your brothers socks off?\n\nTry following some or all of this:\n\nAnytime you want to start any kind of business, there are several basics that you will need:\n\n* You should first sit down and think about what it is you want to do and then write out the scenario in detail!  This may sound tedious, but it will help you clarify what it is you are thinking about.  Also, when you talk to anyone about the business (mentor, bank, clients, prospective investor), you will have a clear vision to share with him or her.  You can check any number of books at your local library or the Internet for ideas on creating a business plan or goals list.\n\n* Is there anyone out there doing something like what you want to do already?  Can you research what it is that they do and maybe even talk with them about what they do?\n\n* Are there businesses out there that are doing some aspect that you want to do?  In this case, you want to create an online drop shipment business.  What websites have you seen that you like (can you talk with them)?  How does the local McDonalds or other retail outlet do business that might help you in yours (i.e. how is McDonalds able to provide a product to a customer on demand at almost anytime of day – and do it with a much of high school kids)?\n\n* Never listen to anyone who says that you CANNOT do something UNLESS they have been there and tried that!!!!!  Anyone can tell you the good things that you can try or do, however, only someone who has actually tried the specific thing your are thinking can truly give you advise on the pitfalls that could await the unsuspecting.\n\n* If you want to look for a mentor (free or paid – although mentors usually offer their time at no cost), the question that you should be ready to address is WIIFM (What In It For Me {the mentor})!  What are you willing to do for your mentor to help them with something that they may need (for me it’s simple – I am looking for 10 points :-)\n\n\nContacts:\n\n* Contact your local Better Business Bureau or Chamber of Commerce – they have business people who will help start up operations.\n\n* Contact your local high school, community college or university and find out whom the teachers are for courses related to your business (like business or computer/internet classes).  Contact these teachers to get some ideas or even to see if they will take you company startup on as a class project or special project for some of the student to work on (might give the students extra credit and you a free startup).  In the worst case, you might get the names of some good students whom you might hire to do certain aspects of what you need at a very low cost.\n\n* Contact you local, county or state governments (check their websites) – many areas have small business administrations (or some other agency that can help with various things) that have any number of references and resources available at little or no cost.\n\n* Go to your local library in the Reference Section and find the Encyclopedia of Associations.  It is a three-book set published by Gale Research.  The first book lists thousands of tiles of professional organizations and groups.  It will give a code number to use in the other two books to find out more about that organization.  Contact the organizations who have something to do with your idea and find out if they have a services to give you advise or local groups that you can network with.  In many cases, just asking for membership and publications information may give you a lot of useful stuff.\n\n\nOther outstanding sources that I have used in running my four businesses:\n\n* Nightingale-Conant – the largest producer of audio/video training programs in the world.  Many of their programs can be borrowed for free from local libraries.  http://www.nightingale.com\n\n* Entrepreneur Magazine (http://www.entrepreneurmag.com) – many great tips and ideas about running a company.\n\n* Rich Dad Poor Dad - http://

First come up with a powerful run. Then go to the compainies you would like to sponser you. Tell them who you are and tell them you would like them to check you out in action. A really good way is at compitions. I got sponsered at a compition. It maight take some time. It took me two months to get a sponser. I was sponsered by mt dew, borderline  and a few local places. Enough to pay for gear and travel. It was cool for two years i got to travel and snowboard, that was my job and it was tons of fun.

Franchises are generally more expensive than starting your own.  Unless you are going with a nationally known name (Domino's or Pizza Hut)  I would suggest just starting your own  place.  Here is the information on franchising with Take N Bake:\n\nTotal Investment Range: \n$63,000 - $103,000\n\nMinimum Cash Required: $60,000\n\nAnd remember, after you join their franchise you have to pay monthly royalties, follow their advertising schemes, use their pricing  - they have to preapprove everything.  Really look into the business, check out the customer base and see what to expect.  Call local or surrounding owners, etc.  good luck!

hi, contact their corporate office (head office) \nIt is not cheap and to become a franchisee you have to abide by their company rules everystep of the way, if they have their own brand of coffee or one imported you cannot decide personally to use a second brand of coffee, ie., they want their chains to be the same., some are any where from 35000.00 and uppppp.  you also pay a franchise percentage of all income monthly. sounds fun heh? good luck, wish you the best, ( try and research the newer coffee houses they may have a lower francise fee and easier to get into, also if you are a woman try the prov. govt loans designed for women, "western diversification" for example

Once you get the place incorporated then you need to think about franchising and merchandising subsets.  With the proper marketting, logo, and theme-song you should become a stellar success.
