Microfranchise Toolkit

Jason Fairbourne, Director of BYU’s Microfranchise Development Intitiative, along with thirteen other authors have recently published a book that is a must for anyone interested in the concept of microfranchising. The book is called “The Microfranchise Toolkit, How to Systemize and Replicate a Microfranchise.” This toolkit will appeal universally from microfranchisors who want to start new business in developing countries to micro business owners. Topics include things as basic as customer service, as significant as funding and as vital as writing an effective franchise agreement.

The book is available for purchase online from the ESR Center Shop for $17.50. If you have further questions about the book please contact the ESR Center, 801-422-9009.

Coalition for Single Mothers Established

One of the objectives of the Single Mom Initiative (SMI) is to build a network of people and organizations that care about single mothers. The SMI believes that by facilitating a network of practitioners, organizations will be able to learn from each other, share resources and ideas, improve practice, and possibly engage in collaborative action to support single mothers.
