If that is correct, I would assume they initially need front money/capital from these (many?) “operators” in order to dedicate enough manufacturing capacity and support network plus a profitable cushion to strengthen NWBO as more than simply a going concern.
If so, it is these arrangements I assume they are speaking of that they intend to announce once the MAA process is “cemented.”
This "Franchise" nonsense is just another diversion stunt once again delaying them from actually ever sharing revenue projections with investors, like they should've done years ago.
