have you spoken to 1st Metro about it??
Also have you looked into the documentation with them to find out what percentages are cut and in who`s favour??
How much work CAN they supply you in your area?
You will need liability insurance generally 1 - 2 million, I have 6 million due to
government buildings.
Life is to short to go wrong

Just take into account once you build up an area for someone else they may sell it off as a franchise.
