#1 – You don’t actually own it
ChicK-Fil-A owns it all. Which limits your opportunity (see #2 and #5 below).
#2 – You don’t have any equity
Once you’ve built it into a cash cow, you could miss out on one of the biggest financial opportunities of your life…selling the business for a big ol’ premium.
#3 – It’s harder to get a Chick-Fil-A than get into Harvard
You’ll probably spend a bunch of time going through a process you have absolutely no control over.
#4 – You’re going to be an “Operator” not an Owner
Yep, you’re more like an employee than an owner because you have zero equity.
#5 – Your income is limited
You can’t open multiple locations. You can’t own other businesses. You don’t have the control.

AND…
You have the ability to work ON the business and not in it
AND…
You can scale the business so you can create the lifestyle balance you want

And most aren’t food franchises…
