FTC Guide to Buying a Franchise
"From the people who brought us the Do Not Call Registry, our friends at the FTC, comes a great article on buying a franchise. In it, they talk about "The Benefits and Responsibilities of Franchise Ownership" and discuss several components you should consider within a franchising system:

Controls
Terminations and Renewal
They then go into Selecting a Franchise, Shopping at a Franchise Expo, and finally, and most importantly, go into Investigating Franchising Offerings."
