A: I have a client that has done this as a franchisee. You have to find a location and negotiate a master lease with the landlord with the landlord understanding that you will be subdividing and subleasing the premises to various subtenants. You need to check that the zoning will allow the intended uses. You will be responsible for the rent to the landlord paid from the rent that suntenants pay to you.
