		<description>Please add @toyguard to the child&#039;s section and maybe business to business as we cover both areas? .  Loads of information on the ToyGuard website www.toyguard.co.uk.

We are only franchising in the UK only at the moment but hopefully somewhere near you soon!  We are specialist hygiene services providers to the child daycare sector.

Many Thanks,

		<title>Comment on Why Franchises Fail &amp; What to Do About It Part 1 by Iain stewart</title>

		<description>Some really valuable advice on here as a young franchisor it is with some relief that we are being maticulous in our recruitment process. It is tough though to turn down the cash, but if your franchise is truly built on reputation, then nothing must compromise that, especially a franchisee with the &#039;potential&#039; to fail. The balance is to avoid fear of failure? If you have recruitment criteria too high you will never get anyone? So with this in mind I am going to revisit this today and look at what needs to be a 100% match and what would be good but not essential.
Thanks for the insights and the advice.
