Red Flag #4 Our Franchise Opportunities are Going Fast - Act Now!
Franchises can be a great way to get up and running if you have limited experience. But they can also rob you of significant amounts of money if you don’t do your homework.
Legitimate U.S. based franchises are legally required by the FTC to provide you with a detailed disclosure document at least ten business days before you pay any money or legally commit yourself to a purchase. And I can’t stress more highly for you to consult with a business attorney before you sign anything.

More Help and Resources to Keep from Getting Scammed.
When in doubt, please do your homework and take the time to do more research. Most of these programs have a high-pressure pitch that uses tactics to make you feel you have to BUY NOW. I have no problem with sales pitches, I do have a problem with anyone pitching programs with the intent on taking your money and not delivering something of value back to you.
The FTC has a fantastic website that will help you avoid everything from MLM scams to envelope-stuffing scams. If you are serious about starting an internet business, read through these documents first before you shop for the training materials or marketing system that is right for you.
