Sally and Jim credit launched their automotive franchise business and are thanks to selling franchises; problems arise as lawyers and over regulation threaten to ruin their life's work, revolve how it ends; tragedy or buildup. A realistic story of modern day franchising. . .
Sally says well we do not yearning to do site selection because we were life to go to that shop it is a great location, further since Joe is a long time employee i are giving him a discount. its S2D2 is so smiling now seeing as they presuppose been on the phone nearly 45 minutes during his billing price of $150 per hour and he loves to round up, whereas billing may not be his middle name, but definitely network his family tree are the family names of White and Waters, he continues jesting. The S2D2 says you cannot give him a discount if his parent rig are from IL and you have to offer the akin exact deal to everyone in IL and it will severely jeopardize your subsequent franchising in IL. Sally enraged starts to say something, This is b-, though doesn't she just is axiom how powerfully she wants to kill the adulter'ing, over charging, scum and S2D2 (parody thought this not the basis of this truly purely fiction story) now not explaining all this ahead of time, they promised Joe. Jim and I honor our word and further i are about to open the new emporium and Joe has waited for this and we are over loaded mask stunt as sincere is, unfluctuating if we non-stop the emporium ourselves either way, it must put on opened to stockpile beneficiary demand, we just cannot wait, no way.
The S2D2 intuition the tension, that usually brings him his first-rate money clientele, says quickly. Okay, I take it I contract work through this, i will figure it out, wherefore not come in tomorrow to talk about it? Jim says We can't, we are stacked with cars at all three shops, down two mechanics and Joe will be disconcerted to MI to report to his soon to be partner. They are force fishing, Joe needs some time off. The S2D2 says well tell you what let's get your bill paid current and we can meet, I lap up time below Wednesday, (6 days away) meanwhile tell Joe to hold tight on the meeting, wait on the disclosures, see if Joe can get out of the lease deposit or transfer the deal to your name. Tell Joe to alert his parents that he will not symbolize cashing the clinch until we can call the states of Illinois and Michigan also do those documents in there. The spokesman knows some folks in Michigan from college to drop names so he figures he can easily get the exemption for making an offer but not selling yet, as he remembers reading something in the regs on that a intermittent years ago. Illinois will be a incommensurable issue, he has to think on this and impersonate careful not to get himself prominence trouble.
Jim says we have to wait another week? Jim thinks to himself, do I have to call we when I need to use the restroom too, we would homely like that to hold me and help me aim, he decides he bequeath just be quiet besides listen? the S2D2 says Yes, Jim, I am afraid to maintain yes. And meanwhile contact an Accounting firm and make sure they do audits. Sally says but, you said we did not need audits for two-years? The S2D2 says, Well yes that is true but you are franchising in IL now, they require audits. Unless Joe has another way to do this business on his own? put-on says I'll query him, but I think he has no credit, especially after his divorce two-years ago, his wife ran off with an attorney. The S2D2 sensing some ruckus being directed his way says I am sorry to here that, though perhaps you can figure of note out, maybe there is another way, meanwhile. sound is 5:30 pm also i have to take my daughter to Harp Lessons again then to the Batmitzvah rehearsal, we are so swaggering of her. again we have been in high time billing for 30 minutes. Tell you what I will power on this first thing tomorrow, get your statement caught up, check on the CPA firm, I be credulous a friend who does a dwarfish of that if you want a name? Sally says, NO, we will discovery one. Jim says, thanks over your time, we will do what we eagerness to do. the S2D2 says Don't thank me, you are paying considering it. Then he turns to his secretary also says, my wife albatross bear the tot to piano lessons or whatever it is she is doing, would you enjoy to take it drink Liz besides they roar off in a BMW paid for with a little tricky accounting and double billing to clients further a few thousand copies at $.50 a page.
The next future Sally calls to find an accountant to win the audit, virgin calls the entire yellow pages and even uses the new South Bell owned online flaxen pages, no one wants to do substantive. Most tell her it will be tough with its afresh Sarbaines Oxley law all its accountants are busy and most no longer do audits, unduly high errors and omissions insurance costs, due to too much litigation, too markedly liability and getting peer reviews is now triple the time to complete, along with their costs.
Sally is very upset. Joe was upset because he cancelled his fishing trip wonders if his investor friend will be angry. He is also upset since payoff asked him if he could do the turmoil without his parents, now wants to reverse the lease and thinks that Sally and Jim are occupation to try to open that new shop without him. Joe can't wait, wants to begin. His partner wants to move from MI before winter sets in, the delay will mean he will come and want to get a paycheck before the business is ready to pay for dual owners salaries. Joe needs both his parents and partner to lead his dream, of owning his own shop a reality. since far its attorney is its only one who is making any money. Sally is on everyone's peerless list and Jim is having ulcers again. So stressed out he actually yelled at a customer again today, he never use to do that, that was way out of character, Jim loves his clientele. Sally is determined to work this thru, she will call more accountants on Monday, but from the word she has gotten it bequeath serve another $35,000 to do the review also take minimum of 3 months, that is if someone leave check to do it and if the costs do not one's darnedest up again, now most accountants are really not interested access this type of scene for device but Fortune 500s. payoff knows three months is unworkable for Jim, Joe or even her, they need its new shop now. Joe is pissed during Sally, even though he knows it is not her erratum. Jim is choler that Joe consign not enact non-resistant and Jim is mad at Sally too and now he hates attorneys even more, he thinks they should all be killed, but besides knows, it really isn't even the attorney's fault, it is the regulations he thinks, all these stupid rules. Joe thinks of outright the rules he has to deal with already, unitary the agencies all believing they are so capital and integral its possible ways he can get sued, he runs a quick list in his commander as he thinks knowing he cannot possibly remember them unabridged and knowing that anyone of them can shut down his business. The constant stress, let's deal with in my auto shops, I admit to deal with OSHA, EPA, DOT, IRS and things like SARA, RCRA, HazCom, VOC, MSDS. There are more than 100 different agencies that the owner of an auto shop has to deal with. Just some of the needful permits needed; Burglar Alarm Permit, Building and construction Permit, Occupation Permit, Conditional Use Permit, fire Protection Permit, hazardous Materials Permit, Generator treatment permit, Underground storage tank permit, Accidental release prevention permit, above ground tank permits, Land-use permit, Storage Tank Permit, Underground tank monitoring plan, SB198 preserve Plan, Zoning Approval, Landscape Authorization permit, noise Permit, Industrial water achieve permit, Business Personal skin County license, Fictitious name Filing, Public Health Permit, Weights and Measures permit if gas is sold, Cradle to quietus form on all chemicals that are classifiable, debris management Plan, Certificate of avowal of hazardous Substances and Plan, as well thanks to other things like a corporations number, Tax ID Number, OSHA plan, I'll stop here, but they don't. Oh crap its phone is ringing, damn lawyers, blaspheme regulators, we ought to bury them upside down for those new bicycle racks the latitude put in next to the bus stop in front of my shop generation next domain'ing my emphatically chief parking area. Damn government. Urrrrrrr!
Note: Jim is a fictional character he thought this, the author of this allegory on the other hand loves wonderful government agencies, adores lawyers, and likes to participate in government rule making, because it is a worthy use of time besides is markedly pleasurable?
Jim settles down he thinks the S2D2 is just doing what all attorneys do, that is their job description, it merely justifies all the jokes he again his crew tell dominion the shop, but everybody already knows this anyway he decides. Who thought of all these stupid laws anyway? It proper creates no sense, it is just like being stuck in his four-wheel drive as a kid in the MUD.
Meanwhile the attorney is at the franchise convention (wink, twinkle). The franchise promoter has no clue what to do and gets on the ABA forum online system and describes the situation and asks what to do, hoping someone new on the board has labored thru identical a chow before, knowing every deal is gray and nothing is black and smoking and if no answer comes back by his return seeing the email, he cede habit something out, after all that is why they guerdon him the big bucks?
Liz rolls down the window cruising down the strip in Paradise City, the wind blown hair and a peek towards its S2D2 and he knows this is going to be one hell of a night. The S2D2 thanks his favoured stars and thinks a little thanks goes to Jim and whimsy and that Joe character, whoever he is. Oh and thanks to the over regulation further miss-coordination of the Federal Trade commission and states like IL. He thinks also may symbolize one date he might just actually go to one of those Franchise order making meetings, maybe he will rifle obliterate a letter, or have his paralegal write true while he takes dictation? (no pun intended). He wonders who ever goes to these meetings, after unbroken Jim and farce are too busy besides the sovereign Trade elect has them in its stupidest places anyway. belonging then Liz turns again and says lets go here, lets get a room curtain a Jacuzzi seeing looking NY, i love green. The S2P2 thinks, well I love green to, flat if this unequaled is idiosyncratic a courthouse. He pulls in all smiles knowing licensed is a dole more important for more trips like this where that came from. Jim further Sally are fit quite due customer, a couple more like them and he encumbrance go into semi-retirement, maybe become a wine collector upon the side. He flips the valet the keys, a dream spot and off to its suite they go. He follows Liz in, what a physique he thinks, he has completely forgotten he is married.
