Overview of Franchise Process
This is a presentation with Q & A
- caveat: a lawyer may want to tweak whatever we say or come up with
- Stages:
- One:
- Do you understand what Free Geek is (with some degree of detail)?
- Mission Statement
- Principles
- Is that what you want to do (really)?
- Do you have a realistic understanding of what this entails?
- Can we communicate with you? Are you involved in the larger community?
- Do you understand what Free Geek is (with some degree of detail)?
- Two:
- Lots more details about actually getting up and running, business plans, etc. (Way incomplete at this point.)
- One:
- Types of relationships:
- Official Free Geek -- you can use the name
- Affiliate of Free Geek -- part of a larger, looser network -- you can't use the name, however.
Free Geek Intergalactic
This is an open discussion.
- Mission of Free Geek Intergalactic (open conversation)
- What should it be? Early on, vs. down the line?
- Structure (open conversation)
- How should it work? Starting more informally? And gaining more structure as necessary?
Next Steps
- What do we need to do to make all this happen?
