While less than a quarter of South African franchisors are FASA members, this does not imply that all of the remaining franchisors do not subscribe to the best practices advocated by FASA or that they are unethical in their business dealings. This statement, combined with the fact that the information publicly available is often limited, means that would-be franchisees are often handicapped in their research as they attempt to determine which brands to approach. 

The shortage of information could result in a lack of understanding of the skills, experience, and profile required of prospective candidates and what the franchised business system demands from its franchise owners and operators, ultimately resulting in an unfortunate misfit between the actual opportunity and the franchisee.
