Want to do something different with your life?

If you are thinking about a reset or career change, have you considered that buying a franchise could be the ideal path? Here’s 7 reasons why franchising could be for you.

1. You are determined to control your own destiny. You are happy to accept the mix of risks and rewards that come with self-employment.

2. You want to do something different. A franchise offers you the opportunity to work in a different industry, or work with your partner or children.

3. You want to use your existing skills for a new purpose. Most franchising systems look for broad skills and abilities combined with a great attitude, not experience in a particular field.

4. You want to learn new skills. Franchises offer thorough training in their specific business, so if you have the ability to learn on the job to complement your existing skill set.

5. You want to do something you love before it’s too late. If you’ve already had one or more careers, you may have some savings, or redundancy money, or equity in your house which make it possible to invest in yourself.

6. You want to create something for the future - yours or your family’s. Franchising offers a wide range of opportunities suited to two-person or family operation.

7. You want to minimise the risks. Franchising is a lower-risk way of going into business than setting up from scratch or buying an independent small business.
