Value-add could come from cleanliness, better stall layout, innovative signboards, assistance with advertising &amp; promotion, and loyalty schemes.<br /><br />I know that LOCATION is the critical factor but what is a ballpark range of rental prices we will be looking at? techventurer Property Talk Sat, 23 Feb 2008 14:46:28 +0800 http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/613199 Decided to start a franchising thread because seems like there is quite a bit of interest in it (including from me) but most of the discussions are hidden in threads about &quot;Business for RM50K&quot; and franchising doughnut shops and MacDonald&#39;s.<br /><br />Shall start off with a few basic questions:<br />1. Must all franchises be owned by a registered partnership/company?<br />2. Can a franchise be owned, or part-owned by a foreigner?<br />3. Are there really franchises that you can get for RM50K, with monthly costs (fees, manpower, rent) below RM5K?<br /><br />For me, I&#39;m interested in franchises in the F&amp;B and computer industry. techventurer Finance, Business and Investment House Wed, 16 Jan 2008 15:56:36 +0800
