Four signs franchising is a great option for you

The past two years have had lots of people rethinking their careers. Some people were forced into the situation because of business closures and layoffs. Others realized they weren’t happy in their current situation. Whatever the reason, more people have been assessing the possibility of being their own boss and thinking about starting a business. Are you thinking about making the move? You will definitely want to consider franchising. It can be an intimidating leap, but it will be incredibly rewarding.

Before you take that leap, though, you want to do your homework and make sure franchising is the right choice for you. Obviously, the right skill set and temperament are going to be hugely important to your success. Check out these four signs that franchising might be a good fit for you:

1. You are self motivated. Are you the type of person who doesn’t need direction to get a job done? If you are a self starter, chances are you’d do well as a franchisee. You’ll still need to take direction from the franchisor who gives you guidance, but it’s VERY important for franchisees to be self motivated. This will be your business.
2. You can work within an existing system. Businesses turn to franchising because they know what works and have already grown their business using these techniques and principles. It is one of the benefits of being a franchisee: you start with a plan. If you can combine working in a proven system for success with your own drive and business expertise, you’ll be a franchise force to be reckoned with.
3. You’re a creative and active thinker. Are you constantly coming up with new ideas for ways your current job could be more successful? Do you like looking at trends and making predictions about your market in the future? Do you like to take action and see your ideas through? Good ideas are always welcome in franchising, so if this sounds like you, you could be a great fit.
4. You’re ready for a change. Do you need a new direction in your career or your life? Getting a new (similar) job with a new (similar) boss isn’t going to cut it. Consider instead the opportunity to own your own business and be your own boss. It could be the perfect fit!
