While most of us know about franchising, very few actually really know it. What’s the difference between opening your own business and staring a franchise? And is it an alternative to continually looking for a job?

Franchising is not for everybody, but it is something that everybody in transition should think about. We will focus on finding the right fit, the risks involved in starting your own business, how much money you need to invest and where you will get the money. You will also learn about your commitment to the franchise and the franchise’s commitment to you. This is designed to be thought-provoking, informative and comforting as we explore good realistic alternatives in our search for brighter days in our career and life journey.
