    Where is your franchise information, your business license, etc. I can find no information. Who did you franchise through? Where is your sales documents (pitch), etc?

    Reason I ask is that if you truly started your own franchise, I would be interested in knowing how exactly you did it. I know people who have started franchises, and have done very well, but it's a long and laborious process. When it comes to recycling it's even worse, you have to comply with the Federal EPA, and each state EPA program you operate in, not to mention the local governments, and that's just one tiny aspect of the environmental licensing.

    And if it's your franchise, who operates the franchise while you are out getting your hands dirty?

    How many franchises have you sold, and are those people on this forum? I would like to talk with them. Or if not on this forum, how can someone get in contact with them? Franchises always refer to their franchisees when new clients are asking about the franchise as a viable business to involve themselves in.



    I am honestly interested if you have honestly successfully created a franchise. More info! I may be able to benchmark what I eventually intend to do, although our businesses are different, they still are similar enough.

    At the heart of science is an essential balance between two seemingly contradictory attitudes--an openness to new ideas, no matter how bizarre or counterintuitive they may be, and the most ruthless skeptical scrutiny of all ideas, old and new. This is how deep truths are winnowed from deep nonsense. -- Carl Sagan

    Thank you for your interest Scott.

    There is a lot of propitiatory information. I will tell you what I can.

    I have two Owned franchises currently. Denver and Phoenix.

    Phoenix has already sold, Denver is for sale.

    As for telling you how I franchised, how about I tell you what I found out about franchising a scrap business.

    WHAT IS YOUR PROPRIETARY INFO? Everyone here knows how to scrap, what are you offering.

    Me, I offer contracts, guaranteed scrap, guaranteed contracts, already negotiated.

    What will you offer?

    As for licensing and that other jazz, you need a partner. Maybe one who has already franchised other businesses. Start there.
    I don't expect to become a franchise expert, simply I have a good franchise idea and have a proven model.
