Most people ask, “How much support do I get in a franchise?”

Wrong question.

The better question is:
What does real support actually look like — and what does it require from you?

In this episode of Franchise Breakdown Live, I break down what franchise support really means, what it doesn’t mean, and why so many franchise buyers misunderstand it.

We cover:

• What support is NOT (and the dangerous assumptions buyers make)
• The difference between hand-holding and structured systems
• Why support amplifies operators — it doesn’t replace effort
• What a real 90-day launch plan should include
• How weekly coaching and performance structure should actually work
• Why two franchisees in the same system can get completely different results

If you’re researching franchising and asking about “support,” this episode will healthily reset your expectations.

Franchise support should give you:

• A proven roadmap
• Clear systems
• Ongoing accountability
• Marketing structure
• Performance coaching
• A community of operators

But it will never build the business for you.

If you want clarity before investing in a franchise — and you want to understand the difference between dependency and ownership — this episode is for you.
