About Franchises!!

The February Session was all about fun and franchises as our dear friend and franchise consultant Claudia Lardizabal came to talk to us about some very interesting facts..

For example, did you know that there are over 3,600 different franchise companies, in more than 90 industries, with over 900,000 operating units? And the best part is that you don't need industry experience to have a specific franchise because Franchisors train the franchisee on how to use their proven system!!

So why owning a franchise?

A franchise is a great fit for you when it’s a vehicle that can get you to your destination while meeting your lifestyle and financial goals. It is also a way to reduce risk on income security vs. job security.

Claudia also talked to us about the Royalties, how franchising works, statistics, and how she can help you find the right franchise for your specific needs. She will go with you step by step from asking you if you envision a franchise with many employees or just a few, the business environment you would like, the territory, the budget, and so on until you are well informed and ready to step into the franchising world!!

She also suggested a few books you can read on this subject:
