    Rapid Scaling a business by franchising

    Sorry, but my books are only in English. The best I can do is to help you by answering questions.

    TÜV SÜD vs SGS

    SOURCING 
    Thanks for the heads up. I have seen SGS becoming almost paranoid about security, probably due to having been hacked. I think you would do better contacting TUV Rheinland rather than TUV SUD.

    I have several times been asked if I would provide an example of an Operations Manual, but ones that are in use by a franchise business are worth a lot of money and must not be copied. The Operations Manual is in my opinion the most valuable part of the franchise license that a person is...
