Should You Buy This Franchise — or Walk Away?
A conservative, bank-realistic decision kit that shows whether a waxing franchise actually works before you risk $200k+.
This built for :
- First-time franchise buyers
- Corporate professionals trying to exit safely
- Anyone overwhelmed by franchise projections that feel “too good”
- Buyers who want a clear GO / HOLD / DON’T TOUCH decision
If you already decided “yes” and want marketing plans or hype, this isn’t for you.
- Most franchise projections assume best-case scenarios.
- Banks don’t approve loans based on best-case scenarios.
This kit models what actually happens when you include:
- real rent
- real labor
- franchise fees and royalties
- tech and POS costs
- ongoing local marketing
It shows whether the business works under realistic assumptions, not sales decks.
- Editable franchise projection spreadsheet
- Built-in franchise fees, royalties, ad fund, tech/POS costs
- Conservative labor, rent, and traffic assumptions you can adjust
- 6–7 page Decision Guide (PDF) explaining:
- how to read the numbers
- what matters most
- your final outcome: GO / HOLD / DON’T TOUCH
This is a decision tool — not a business plan and not a promise.
Based on your inputs, the guide clearly states one result:
- GO — the model works under conservative assumptions
- HOLD — the model only works if specific things change
- DON’T TOUCH — the risk and cash burn are too high
No guessing. No interpreting spreadsheets alone.
This was built after going through the franchise process myself — including real startup costs, lender feedback, and understanding exactly why banks say no to first-time buyers.
It’s designed to help you avoid expensive mistakes, not sell you a dream.
