I know there has been a lot of things said about Stained Glass Overlay, and someone might look at all of this as BS, but everything you read about this company is true. I have been a franchise owner of SGC for about 15 months. I began by talking to and meeting with Tom Wood. A very nice lady, a bit jumpy to get my into the process, but nice any way. She told me that the average affiliate makes about $140,000 a year. That is after a $50,000+ investment. Well, I had to take out a loan, and quit my job of 21 years to run this 8hr's a day. I worked and worked at getting clients. SGO gave me a few people to contact and sell to. But nothing came of it. I think they got the names out ot the yellow pages. Now here I am 15 months later and I have been back at my old job for 6 months now. Not at the same salary. I am struggling to pay back my lender, and try to keep my house. This business is not real, and there is no support once you get it up and running. I spoke to Andrew B & Scott G for support. I emailed both of them and got almost the same answer. I tried hard. I really worked my business. And nothing came form it. I deserve a refund and I told that to SGO. You know what I was told. No. Sorry. This is your business, and we never promised you any $. I wish I had what Tom Woods told e on paper. O, and for Tom, he no longer calls or emails me. Once he got my $,that was it. So stay away from SGO

Man, I sure wish I knew all this crap before I sent my franchise fee, $100,00 and change, even after my accountant advised me not to. I was planning on making it big her in the city of colored lights and facade. Look around Sarah said, see any pretty glass, that will be your next paycheck. I did take the time to speak with 3 other affiliates of SGO, (I think that stands for Suckered

WOW, I am sure glad I saw all this information. I just got off the phone with Sarah Willis, and was considering on sending in my franchese fee. I was going to borrow the money, on the premis that Sarah promised I could make my investment back in 6 months. I already spoke with 3 SGO affiliates, they all reported favorable results. I accidentally found this site, and have since found other sites that have the same things to say about SGO. So, now I have a clearer view, and am no longer interested in SGO Franchise, thanks for this public service...
