Seal had worked and struggled at his fish business for years. His partner, Lobster, brought up the idea of franchising the business. Seal thought about it and knew Lobster was the perfect man for the job. The thought of keeping the business to one office when they had orders stretching out all over the place seemed unwise to him, and so he agreed. They were making profits and investing in another office was the perfect choice.
Lesson: This lesson is inspired by the Rescue a CEO Post “When is it Time to Franchise Your Business?”
