A business is like a tree. You plant it and let it grow. Everyone who planted a tree a few years ago isn't feeling this pandemic as hard as those who rent their income from a corporation. 

On this week's episode of the podcast, the guys talk about franchising myths and debunk them.

The investigation process for a franchise is one of the most important steps a candidate will take. Finding the right franchise  when looking to own a franchise is difficult and a consultant will help.

Many candidates come to Nat and Pete looking to buy an existing franchise because they want immediate income and they know that there is a high small business failure rate. Franchises resales feel a little more safe. This makes sense, but often doesn't really work.

Has anyone ever moved your cheese? Is your cheese pile dwindling?

Entrepreneurs just have to get things done!

Pete sits down with Eric Schechterman, the Chief Development Officer at Benetrends Financial to talk about how his company helps franchisees fund their locations.

The job numbers have been awful. Unemployment is growing and more layoffs are coming.
