Yet there's a lot of VALUE in those numbers - value that you couldn't necessarily achieve if you built a business from the ground up.   To help better explain this value, the editors of the **Franchise Wire **reached out and asked for my help writing an article on this topic based on what I've seen in my decades of experience as both a franchisee and franchisor. These experiences have given me the unique perspective of being on both sides of these fees - I've had to charge royalties as well as pay them myself!    [![Maximize the Success of Your Franchise](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/7793789/6f1a87ac-67bd-4cc2-ad1c-32d05232df55.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/7793789/6f1a87ac-67bd-4cc2-ad1c-32d05232df55)   Within the article, I discuss the key benefits of those fees - as well as HOW franchisees can put that value to work for their business.  Whether you're a long-term franchisee or are just considering starting a franchise business, I encourage you to check it out here: [https://franchisewire.com/resource-center/insights/are-franchise-and-royalty-fees-worth-it-you-bet-here-are-seven-compelling-reasons/](https://franchisewire.com/resource-center/insights/are-franchise-and-royalty-fees-worth-it-you-bet-here-are-seven-compelling-reasons/)     ![John Francis](https://blog.johnnyfranchise.com/hubfs/JF%20Professional_Blog_214x214px-1.png) ### Written by [John Francis](https://blog.johnnyfranchise.com/author/johnfrancis) [❮ Are You Ready to Make the Move From Founder to CEO?](https://blog.johnnyfranchise.com/are-you-ready-to-make-the-move-from-founder-to-ceo) [One Crisis to Another: Finding Opportunity Through Chaos ❯](https://blog.johnnyfranchise.com/one-crisis-to-another-finding-opportunity-through-chaos) ### **About the Franchise Expert** ![JohnFrancis_512x512px](https://blog.johnnyfranchise.com/hs-fs/hubfs/JohnFrancis_512x512px.jpg?width=214&name=JohnFrancis_512x512px.jpg) John Francis is an enthusiastic, engaging, and entertaining public speaker because he speaks from experience and he speaks from the heart.
