Some chains have "one-person headquarters" and even lack corporate licenses, let alone systems know-how or marketing teams. Their products may be less than outstanding, and being eager to gain franchising fees, they may open too many branches too close to each other, leaving the franchise owners to take the fall.
有些「一人總部」連個公司執照都沒有，既無豐富的系統化 know-how，也沒有行銷企畫班底，產品又缺乏特色，甚至為了搶收加盟金而浮濫開店，讓加盟主自相殘殺。
