In 2009 the most important franchising news is that there is potential for growth. How can franchise business grow in a time of recession?
Many people are loosing their jobs as a direct result of the economic downturn. These people are, on the whole, hard working, intelligent and motivated. In an economic downturn skilled people loose their jobs though no fault of their own. These people have financial responsibilities that need to be met. Mortgages to pay and kids to feed and support.
Franchise development news - people of all ages can retrain and find new self employed carriers
Employers have sometimes been criticised by people that are over forty years old for being ageist. It can be harder to find a new job when a person reaches middle age. However, the good news is that franchise business welcomes more mature applicants. In fact over 70% of new and existing franchise businesses in the UK are owned and operated by people in middle age.
Why do people more mature people do so well in franchise business?
There are a number of reasons, some of which are that people in middle age:
Have good life experience
Can be good managers with years of experience
Have equity and assets to borrow against or use for the purpose of business building
More franchise news is that over 90% of franchise businesses are profitable. This gives tribute to both the franchisor and the franchisee. The franchisor has built a brand and know-how that is proven and reliable. The franchisee operates the brand and puts the know-how into practise. This combination means that franchise business has become a UK success story with over £13 billion being earned in the franchise sector during 2008.
In 2009 franchise business systems are focusing on growth. Yes it is true that no business system is free from the increased risks of an uncertain economy. However, when offering required and desirable services and franchisees follow the proven system provided by the franchisor, franchise business can protect itself and potentially grow in the current market conditions.
Franchising has been good news for thousands of new business people. Franchise business could be right for you!
