• What is the difference between a "Business Opportunity" and a "Franchise Opportunity"?
  A "Franchise Opportunity" has governing guidelines set forth by the Federal Trade Commission.

A "Business Opportunity" has none of these requirements and as a result, may carry more risks for a potential investor.
