Bond/Cavagrotti/Sanghera/Hwang/Han, Source Book Publications. 2009. 368 pp. The single most important task for a prospective investor is to prepare a realistic cash flow statement that accurately reflects the economic potential of that business. “How Much Can I Make?” is an invaluable “insider’s guide” that details historical sales, expense and/or profit data on actual franchise operations, as provided by the franchisors themselves. Whether you plan to purchase a franchise or start your own business, these actual performance statistics will ensure that you have a realistic starting point in determining how much you can expect to make in a similar business. 93 Item 19s in their entirety are included in this exhaustive study. Thinking about starting a fast-food outlet or restaurant? Enclosed are 33 examples (including Baskin-Robbins, Denny's, McDonald’s and Quiznos) of how you might expect to perform. Interested in investing in a lodging franchise? 4 examples are included (including Clarion Hotels and Motel 6). How about a retail franchise — there are 9 examples (including Aaron's Sales & Lease and Snap-On Tools). How about service franchises — 47 earnings claims statements are provided (including AlphaGraphics, Great Clips, Meineke, Money Mailer and Spring-Green Lawn Care). It would be a colossal mistake to arbitrarily assume that you will generate $80,000+ a year in profits from your new business, simply because you have a good “feel” for the business and are willing to work hard. Your chances of reaching your goal are greatly enhanced by taking full advantage of the thousands of franchised operations that are the underlying basis of the franchisor-provided analytical data. As a result of reviewing these historical results, you will gain invaluable insights regarding the true economics of running a franchise, or your own small business. Because publication of a financial performance representation/earnings claims statement is at the sole discretion of franchisors, only 20-25% provide this critical information. “How Much Can I Make?” includes roughly a third of the total universe of earnings claims statements available. Any serious prospective investor would be short-sighted in not taking full advantage of this extraordinary resource.
