Why Are Franchisors Starting To Target Younger Prospective Franchise Owners?
Because they can. But should they? I say no. Actually, I say no way. The Wall Street Journal just ran a story about this subject. The WSJ has some incredible writers, for sure, but I wonder if they talked to the right people on this story... I receive a few calls a year from twenty-so...
Mitchell,
You disappointed me. I thought you would slam my post.
I guess we have a couple of more things in common than we first thought.
I, too have the courage to strongly suggest to folks that if they just are not ready to start a franchise on several different levels, than they need to go out and find a J. O. B.

Danny,
I feel that it's ok for a franchisor to offer this type of option as an alternative to traditional commercial lending, but I am not ok if they push it.
Best of luck on your quest for finding the right franchise.

Michael,
This article {That you pointed out} is about pension and health care related tax shelter issues, and the lack of reporting.
WSJ;
"Many of the small firms now facing huge fines incurred them in connection with customized defined-benefit pension plans that allow older taxpayers to make large contributions. Other business owners set up plans to fund health and life insurance, health and welfare plans that the IRS deemed to be abusive shelters."
