Hold both of us to the same three questions
One: what does the full ongoing cost total over ten years at your realistic revenue? (Run it free.) Two: what does the actual document say — the current FDD, or the written terms? Three: what do you own at the end — the brand, the customer list, the goodwill? If either offer gets worse the more precisely you ask, that is the answer.
