In reality, they have worked with thousands of franchisees, but it typically entails a franchise fee or a commission.&nbsp;“That payment actually came from your pocket,” explained Powills. “And now the franchisor has to figure out how they are going to support you in launching your business.”Transparency and honesty are fundamental principles when it comes to understanding the workings of the franchise fee. 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.
