On Franchise Failure rates

 

Nick, I need to find statistics on franchise failures.

Jamie,

Those numbers are not available.  Although we have tried to find them and have had no luck, I feel that the 5% published rate is not reliable.  There is no formal study that I am aware of, but I think if you checked into units taken back, closed before the term expired, resold/reopened, etc. you would find that the 5% rate is very low compared to reality.
