I had a close friend with a Matco franchise. The tools were easy to sell but collecting each month was a big issue. In my area there was alot of deadbeats buying the tools on time, loosing their job for whatever reason and then dumping the near new tools to pawn shop to get money for dope or to go to the casino to get rich quick and pay the bills. In this economy with dealership mechanics earning alot less than union scale I would think twice.
I have another buddy with a Little Debbies cupcake franchise and junk food business is booming. Who would have thought?
