Here is a unique selling idea from Cex, 
a retail technology franchisors in the UK – Get some of your investment capital back if not satisfied within 12 months. It’s probably difficult to meet the “conditions” for this partial reimbursement and cancellation of the franchise agreement, but at least the idea of giving a franchisee an ability cancel with a small percentage of your money back within 12 months is a step in the right direction. The devil is always in the details, but by the time you get approval on your location, build out and are ready to operate, I would imagine most of your 12 months from signing the franchise agreement are over.

That has to be the first time I see this. But as you said, it’s probably really hard to qualify…
It’s difficult for me to imagine that they are guaranteeing any form of success, but I like the fact that they’re so confident in their product and business model. Setting up their franchisees for success is probably their main concern and therefore, they feel the business will succeed.
