It's a valid question. State government? Local? Federal?

International agreement?

The franchise brand owner had no incentive, so while it's possible to abolish them through government. It's not clear why we'd go that direction. Given the franchise brand owner takes on additional risk it's not clear why they'd move to take on risk without gain

In the US, the SBA could go a long way to abolishing them if they so chose. "No more franchises in the 7A program. Have a nice day."
