My example was 12 years ago (in answer to TA Guy's original question).
I set up in a new area, it did work well. I had a target of 100 people by the end of the first month, which I met.
Daytime work commitments got heavier, with me starting up a consultancy business and having to travel abroad a lot, so something had to give. Although the dance company was showing a good profit, the daytime work was far more profitable, so after a while the dance company had to go.
I still teach now and again for others, and I would not think of starting up where I now live, as the local dance company do a great job.
Things may well be different now, but at the time, although I asked for help, not a lot of help and support was on offer. I would have been happy to go with LeRoc or Ceroc as a brand name, if at the time they offered a lot more support.
It would be interesting to know, just how much support Ceroc now offer for new franchisees.
