Hi Bob,Thank you for the reply.Many businesses choose NV or WY due to the advantages they offer .Here are some of them for NV:     No state income, corporate or franchise taxes.No taxes on corporate shares or profits.Privacy protection for owners choosing to be anonymous.No operating agreements or annual meetings requirements.Low business registration fees and quick turnarounds.

There are MANY companies that charge a fee to help you get the rules rolling or sell a franchise, if it's your first one get library books, go to some free seminars, tour local open facilities.

That's done here: http://comptroller.texas.gov/taxinfo/franchise/webfile_franchise.html IMPORTANT: To do it online you'll need your taxpayer number (which is public and will be on the forms you've got from the steps above), BUT ALSO YOUR WEBFILE NUMBER.

Is that a franchise?

The buildout is for a franchise called The Little Gym.

Hi Kristian, check out "Real Property Management" It is a franchise.

I own a National Franchise PM company but we are local in our market and boots on the ground.

As with most flags, Days Inn is a franchise operation.

With that said, I’m a small business owner with not a huge amount of NOI because I’m getting killed on biz insurance, health insurance and franchise fees. 

If you were investing in a Subway sandwich franchise, would you want to be the guy scouting for new restaurant locations, or would you want to be the guy making Cold Cut Combos and helping hungry / irate customers?
