Franchise business ownership is a proven path to entrepreneurship. Franchising is also a viable career alternative for many people who want to “run their own business, without having to ‘invent’ it”. An added bonus: A successful and time-tested business model mitigates many of the common risks involved in starting any new business, whether you do so as an owner-operator, a savvy absentee investor, or BOTH!
