Tampa, Fla., Nov. 16, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- So you have made up your mind to get into the restaurant business. You want to become financially independent and you think that a franchise is the best way to go about this goal. That is a great idea and reading Ronald McDonald's powerful new book, Ronald McDonald's Franchise Buyers Guide, might just help you along that pursuit.
After an extensive research, McDonald discovered that there are a number of books and seminars on franchising but they do not specifically address the information that a new and prospective franchisee should look for in a restaurant or fast food franchise. That is when he decided to write Ronald McDonald's Franchise Buyers Guide. Here, he explains with keen insight what kind of restaurant should you buy, the need to understand the responsibilities of ownership, what is required of you as a franchisee, and other important issues on the subject.
"It is my hope that those of you who read this franchise buyer's guide will be able to get something from it that will help you discover how to get the information you really need to make a decision," says McDonald. With Ronald McDonald's Franchise Buyers Guide -- straightforward, informative, and well-researched -- you have a good start and a better chance at making it big in the restaurant business.
