The International Franchise Association recently published an article on the benefits of owning a franchise as a second career. If you’re one of the many individuals in this country today that have been downsized out of corporate America but you aren’t ready to retire yet, then owning a franchise could be your way to “be engaged in a business and be [your] own boss”.
Franchise systems look for individuals in this kind of situation because they “are business people with a range of skills and, most importantly, the work ethic to succeed and ability to recognize the value franchising offers.” Take what you learned working for someone else and turn that into success working for yourself! If you ever felt stifled in your former corporate environment, owning a franchise can help free you “to pursue [your] entrepreneurial spirit with the safety net of a proven business model.”
Make your own hours. Be your own boss. Be in business for yourself but not by yourself. This is what franchise ownership offers. Are you looking for a second career that can provide meaningful service? You’re not alone. Many “opportunities related to education, non-profits, and health care are attracting prospective franchise owners who see how these businesses provide a service not only to their clients but to the community as a whole.”
We can help you figure out which opportunity is right for you. If you have “the leadership skills and work ethic to excel within [a] proven system,” then franchising may be exactly what you’re looking for.
