Forte Franchising

Forte has been determined to seperate franchisees- so that they cannot compare actual results. There have been countless examples where Forte told franchisees that a school is doing well, when the school owner has said their school is in deep trouble.

Forte have also claimed that other franchisees are liars, have no business sense, are mentally ill, etc. and try to keep businesses apart. Promised franchise meetings and conferances never happen.
There is a culture of deceit at Forte. Franchisees are consistenly lied too. Forte have a very fluid version of what they claim is the truth, and will often try to spin facts to show a more positive outcome than is actually true. Details are often omitted if they might show Forte in a less then postive light.

There appears to be no establised franchise system. Forte claim to have a 'proven business systems' but the experince of leads us to beleive they have no strategy for growth, or contingency plan if franchisees are not immediatly successful.

There is a repeated pattern of behaviour where every single problem with a franchise is blamed on the franchisee and they have various insults levelled at them by Forte.

This is a franchisor that you cannot trust.
