Tammy Taylor Global Franchising - BEWARE

I was interested in investing into the franchise, treated me so well. Said they would take such good care. And that's where they stopped. I took a business loan, which they knew, and paid them in February 2024 for my franchise. They were supposed to find location, negotiate the lease, secure the lease, supply all furniture, equipment and stock. Train the staff and managers on the internal procedures and systems. Organize and do shop fitting, decor and a grand opening with specials, invite their loyal customers, Supply pamphlets and all we had to do, was pitch up and get given our keys and manage the store, this by 01st April 2024. Well, we paid the money, ..........managed to get a hold of one of the ex-nail technicians who had some stock, and that's all we got. They did manage to send some stock, mostly sanitizer, and cleaning or removal products. No new products and now we had a lease, and we had to lay out more money for equipment, furniture, stock and decor. We were only able to open in June, all reserves now deleted, and now i am going to lose my house. I am not the only person, there are many south African women who are in the same situation. They did contact me through and offer to take over my store for me and when they sell it at a profit willing to give me R 500 000.00 back. So after at my own expense, paid for a full franchise, had to then buy my own equipment, furniture, stock and advertising and social media, they want to step in, and ran a full store, which they have not invested in at all, and gain the benefit. They are still selling franchises and have an attitude that they are doing me a favor. I have reported this ***** to SAPS, there is a case number. I have reported to National Consumer Council as well. However, they are still allowed to trade. I have also done an email to Tammy Taylor Nail Inc, which is the original business in America. Hoping someone will do something. If i can make just 1 person aware of what happened to me, i will be very grateful. Thank you.
