That’s the problem with a lot of franchise agreements. So many things are set and specified for you that you have no room to optimize your business as an operator.

In a way, you’re almost just like an employee of the franchisor, but without any of the benefits and a lot more liability. But it’s a great relationship for the person selling the franchise.

Depending on the tax system, being able to structure yourself as a « business owner » can mean more money in your pocket than being a salaried manager.
