FranNet CEO, Jania Bailey, reviews the things you need to be aware of while looking at Item 7 in an FDD.

Important factors to consider are things like lease or build-out costs — these things will vary greatly from state to state. Figure out where you fit in on that scale and conduct validation accordingly.
