Sounds like Solana except $22,000 cheaper up front. We had a miserable experience with Solana. They actually impeded rather than helped us. Who are the company officers? It may be Buckingham and his crew popping up under a different name....again. The claims that they are making aren't as over the top as Solana. They also picked better lasers. Solana was pushing Syneron heavily. If they do what they say, it may be worthwhile. Based on our experience I would advise people to run the other way.
I couldn't agree more, many of the current crop of franchisors are nothing more than crooks who provide little to no help with the actual business. Its too bad the Radiance's, Dermacare's, ALC's and Solana's of the world ruin it for the legitimate business owners out there, but that's obviously been the case. I consider myself lucky to have ONLY lost the franchise fee to Radiance, many colleagues with that franchise and others have gone completely bankrupt. Don't walk, run, run away from the current franchisors.
What does a good franchise look like? I am interested to know what would make it appealling?
Good question Taimi, I would start with a demonstrably successful set of current franchisees (i.e. the owners are happy with support from franchisor and the value they receive for their franchise fee and royalties, revenue & profit numbers are reasonable and in line with expectations set by franchisor), then I would do a background search on each of the following: main franchise company, executive management team, several of the key franchisees. Become a customer for a few months and see how you are treated (it would be particularly interesting to try to get a refund for services, as it appears that is something that none of the current crop is willing to do). If anything smells fishy, run, don't give them the benefit of the doubt, its too expensive.
