It's essential for prospective buyers to grasp this concept and be well-informed.“At Growth Club, we want to be transparent about this so that you understand what you're paying and what the franchisor is paying,” said Powills. “As a franchisee candidate within Growth Club, we can make sure you have the information you need to make well-informed decisions.”&nbsp;Their franchise brokers serve as valuable mentors and coaches in this process.
