Giving Thanks for a Support System

Being an entrepreneur can be tough (and lonely). But just as we are so thankful this time of year for family and friends, those business ownership that have chosen the franchise route have thanks to give for the support systems that make it a little easier to deal with those ups and downs of entrepreneurship.

Franchise owners have access to two key components of a support system:

• A Franchise Family – The minute you launch your new franchise, you have access to a franchise family – a group of individuals that have been in your shoes before, and know what its like to start up a franchise within your specific industry/brand. Not only that, but they all share a vested interest in helping YOU and thus, THE BRAND succeed! 
• Franchise Support Team – Remember, as you do well, your Franchisor does well. That’s why you’ll find dedicated members of the corporate franchise team assisting with your ongoing support needs. It’s one of those services you get as a franchisee in return for your royalty payments. 

And don’t forget about FranNet! Because we’re a locally based franchise-consulting firm, you’ll have the support of our network as you launch your new business too! Whether you’re looking for an attorney or CPA, help with payroll processing, need a cleaning company or handyman, or looking for office furniture, FranNet can help point you in the right direction.

If the aforementioned sounds like a great ways to be in business, but you aren’t sure how to find a franchise that is best for you, consider contacting FranNet. We are here to help match you up with franchised concepts to research that fit your lifestyle and goals. And keep in mind; all of our consultations, seminars and events are FREE to you!
