It certainly could not be more obvious the incestuous relationship between big business and government than when the FTC made a special exemption of the Franchise Law for Large Corporate Franchisors. There is practically no fraud at all to be heard of in the franchising industry. Now there is quite a bit in the business opportunities sector, but in franchising there is very little something like 0.1%.

That goes for both large franchisors and small franchisors. Unfortunately the Federal Trade Commission has decided to exempt corporate franchisors who sell franchise outlets that cost over $1 million from the same regulations that smaller franchisors have. Many large franchising companies sell franchises and pretty much keep all the economies of scale that are earned from their size rather than passing them on to the franchisee - yes, I know that is business right?

Thus the franchisee is merely buying a job and not by any business at all, so is it really a franchise outlet in that case. This is unfortunate and very unfair and the unsuspecting franchisee has no clue, worse off the large corporate franchisor exemption puts the little franchisor at a severe disadvantage. The small franchisor now has all the costs, without the economies of scale to compete with the larger franchisor.

So once again the government has favored the large corporate entity over the smaller business. Why you ask? It should be fairly obvious with all the lawyers and lobbyists and the incestuous relationship between federal agencies. Can you believe the Federal Trade Commission is actually part of the United States Justice Department? It just blows me away. And they do this out in broad daylight and they have these rule-making sessions and everybody just smiles as if it's OK.
