It is not unreasonable to ask South African franchise companies if they could choose one franchisee a year, who does not pay the franchise royalties for one year. Or award franchise packages to selected, eager, less privileged would-be entrepreneurs for free to get them off the ground – with a time deadline. By then they need to show profit and start contributing to the franchise royalty. There are various creative ways to structure it – with no great loss to the franchise company. This is the essence of “teach a man to fish.”
Not everyone can pay to get going – but once they do get going, they have the potential to participate in a healthy business relationship with the Franchise company or opportunity giver.
A social strategy where everyone wins.
