Welcome, Investor.
You've found a prime location for a new hotel. "Global Hospitality Inc." has sent you a Letter of Intent. It's... one-sided. But this is your big chance.
Your goal is to negotiate a franchise agreement that ensures your long-term survival. Remember: Negotiations are won *before* you sit at the table.
