In this episode of the Franchise Advisory Board Podcast, host Dave Hansen sits down with Keith Levenson - self-proclaimed “Grand Poobah of Franchising” at Biller Genie - for a fast-paced, hilarious, and surprisingly eye-opening conversation about one of the biggest hidden problems in franchising: cash flow. Everyone loves talking about EBITDA… but what happens when franchisees can’t actually collect their money? Keith breaks down why accounts receivable is quietly crushing service businesses, how the average small business waits 47 days to get paid, and why speeding up cash collection can completely change the trajectory of a franchise system.
