www.cgpglaw.com Atlanta Franchise attorney Joe Gottlieb is available to handle any of your franchising law questions, including What is an FDD ...

So I am a small business owner and have a huge desire to go Law school, this will help me a lot in future business growth, am very interested in corporate law and business law... but need help to explain and relate that in the "Personal statement" that they require, it seems like everyone just writes how they want to help poor people, or gay rights and this and that.... I need some help to say that I need the law degree in my future plans since I would have a better handle on negotiating with future landlords, and contract writing for my future business growth!! please give me tips on how to relate law degree into business growth and not sound selfish since am not getting it to help me!
thanks
Please read the question carefully before answering. Answer #2 is a wase of time! I said I need to GROW my business by adding more branches and opening NEW UNIT GROWTH! I want the law knowlidge so that I could have great knowledge of Contract writing and other issues when it comes to being a small business owner, like lawsuits that are against SBO, and other issues such as! So please focus on the question! I know the difference between Unit growth and Business growth and what customer return means to a business.
Thansk!

Your newly acquired knowledge in law isn't going to do you much good for business growth.

Business growth comes from "Making and Keeping Customers" ...and absolutely nothing else.

So, what you need to focus on is knowledge that helps you understand how to "make and keep customers".

You will need to know how to incorporate this knowledge into your business policies...your procedures and your employees foremost...and then of course your product and advertising secondarily.

"Marketing" is where this information is at.

Good Luck

I'm looking to open a video game franchise. Per franchise laws, they cannot share any type of sales statistics with me. How much in sales does the average video game store do a day, week, month, and year?

a day i would assume a famous one, 200-1000 dollars a day, 5,000-30,000 dollars a month, 50,000-250,000 dollars a year. That's my guess.

My former employer, a doctor, had no workman's compsensation insurance. His business was part of a franchise. Should he legally have to have workman's comp insurance?

Small employers in IL are allowed to "opt out" of purchasing workers comp coverage. That does NOT, however, get them off the hook for paying benefits!!

So no, he likely is not legally required to carry it. But yes, he still has to pay benefits if you were injured - medical payments and lost wages.

You'll likely need to hire an attorney to get the money out of him, though. In my experience, guys like that don't voluntarily cough it up - you have to drag them through court.

Hello,

I bought a license, like a franchise, from a company located in Florida. I'm not impressed with there business so far and I'm wondering if there is any grace period or time frame (legally) were I can ask for a refund of the investment.

It doesn't say anything in the agreement but I'm wondering if FL law has a grace period or 30 day time frame or something in regards to turning the deal around?

I don't think they are a terrible company. Just may have taken on to may licensees to fast.

Any information would be helpful.

Thanks

There must be provision for a cooling off period (to cancel the deal) which must be in their diclosure document. Get professional advice very soon to assist you. More information can be obtained from the Federal Trade Commission - their link is provided below. Good luck
