There are many reasons people choose to invest in franchise ownership. They want to be their own boss, or they’re looking for financial freedom. They want to pursue the benefits of owning their own business while minimizing the risks of starting a company from scratch. Many franchisees will agree that the family friendliness of the franchise industry is a significant motivation for them.
For many franchisees, success is defined by a healthy work-life balance. Franchise owners have more control over their schedule than people who work for someone else. That means they’re able to spend more time with their families, and not just on weekends.
In many cases, a franchise is a family business. Family members might invest jointly in a franchise unit, which often allows them to bring a range of valuable experience and perspectives to the business. Whether it’s spouses, siblings, parents and children, or extended families, family ownership adds a level of shared purpose that makes the work more enjoyable.
Ultimately, a franchise is likely to serve as a family legacy. One common franchise exit strategy is to pass the business on to the next generation, whether that’s your children, grandchildren, or nieces and nephews. It’s a modern version of how generations of fathers used to pass their trade to their sons or daughters.
Even if passing the family franchise to a new generation isn’t the plan, that doesn’t mean the franchise isn’t an important legacy. A franchise sale may pay for college tuition or the down payment on a first home.
That’s the great thing about the franchise industry – its unique flexibility and freedom allow franchisees to find their own version of success.
