Extremely unsatisfactory experience I am very let down by this platform. After receiving a significant amount of money from my spouse, I began exploring franchise opportunities and discovered a franchise advertised here. Initially, it seemed like a great deal – radio station promotion, a large number of flyers, and a considerable stock for the investment. I started as a webmaster, which felt appropriate. I invested and maintained regular communication with the franchise CEO, who appeared friendly, supportive, and genuinely interested in my success. I casually mentioned that I was occupied with clearing out my spouse’s father's house after his recent passing, but didn't think much of it. A few days later, I was encouraged to invest further as a regional director – something that had already been suggested earlier. After persistent pressure, I eventually agreed and signed the contract, as I felt compelled to do so. From that moment, everything changed. Communication turned hostile and critical. Just a week later, I asked for the extra funds to be returned so I could return to the original agreement. This request was denied, citing concerns about potential money laundering. From that point, matters worsened. I received expired vape juices and other products that are not on the approved CBD list and are thus illegal to sell in the region. I also received only half of the promised flyers, with various excuses regarding distribution. There were continual justifications about radio budgets, market tents, second-hand signage, and ongoing passive-aggressive interactions, along with blame shifting and inaccurate lab reports. Consequently, vendors would not provide a payment gateway, making online sales impossible. The list of problems continues. Considering the seriousness of investing in a franchise, I would have expected the platform to thoroughly vet the franchises they promote. Based on my experience, I strongly recommend that others exercise caution and conduct thorough independent research before investing in any franchise found on this site.
