See through the trick of joining the scam. 1) try to add the name of the liar to Baidu and Google search clothing franchise projects. 2) Liar companies often use inducement to lure you to take the bait by fishing with kittens. For example: giving small gifts, reducing the initial fee of clothing, returning cash, returning the decoration fee and other tricks. To ensure business and investment once and for all, "zero risk and high return" is an out-and-out "bait". Dare you join "zero"? "Free" still needs to invest 300,000 yuan, and the joining fee is transferred to the product, and the joining fee becomes "10 yuan management fee". 3) Visit the most common and hidden money trap of "model house". Be sure to look at the production workshop (or factory) of the clothing brand you want to join, no matter how far away the venue and warehouse they say are, you must go and see it! Don't listen to the introduction of clothing franchisees, find a franchisee who has been in business for one year. 4) You should be wary that the project of "all comers come, no loss is made" is a trap. You can join without examining the applicants, as long as you pay the joining fee on the spot, and the joining fee is free or extremely low. Many franchisees attract applicants with low joining fee and low capital threshold, and promise to have franchisees for short-term recovery cost. This is a dangerous signal; Franchise franchisees do not require "harshness" and do not require joining. 5) Beware of three traps: contract trap, money trap and legal trap. Contract loopholes Some franchisees promise to buy their products, but they will indicate in the contract that they will meet their product standards. Pay equity fund 65,438 yuan +0.98 million yuan. The equity fund will be gradually returned according to the purchase amount, and 3,000 yuan will be returned for every 6,543,800 yuan of goods. Until the return is over, the business will be stopped halfway and the stock fund will not be returned. 6) Traps, such as: processing "foreign brand clothing", only receiving mortgage payment, not joining, joining prosperously, falsely joining and selling equipment. After signing the contract, the "best-selling country" has become a mess, the "leader" cheated with the website, and the investment website has a "way" to make money. 7) There are no more than two physical stores where the company is located. "Two stores a year" is a hard indicator for the person in charge of franchise stores. If you don't "face to face" with the chain headquarters, you won't sign a contract: those who have been in business for less than one year are not qualified for national investment promotion at all. Then you are a liar, so you choose a chain brand that has been operating successfully for more than 5 years. The payback period of franchisees of regular brands is mostly around 1 year.
