Family businesses are the backbone of our economy and our communities. Families have distinctive traits that are essential to building a business, and family members take a lot of pride in their business. Family enterprises are built with a sense of purpose, and going on the journey with someone you trust adds to the appeal.

Starting a business from scratch, even with family, is no easy feat. But a good franchisor will want the people it recruits to own and operate the franchise to succeed, so the franchise industry is known for creating a community of help and support.

Franchising’s appeal is the help and support in a partnership that is otherwise missed when venturing out on your own. Franchisors have done all the leg work in getting up and running. They come along- side the new owner and walk through with them to follow the set plan. Your success is their success. It really is that simple. They have a vested interest in seeing you succeed.

A significant advantage of a family owned business partnership is that you know each other so well, and the essentials of communication, respect, and shared goals are already built-in. Combine this with an industry you’re both passionate about, and it can be a match made in heaven.

Choosing a franchise is the key. It’s essential to find the right one that you can see yourself in and the one that inspires you to get up and out every morning. There are numerous ways to find that right franchise. Partnering with a franchise consultant is a terrific way to get started. They can give you a great deal
of insight. Companies like FranServe, Inc. can bring your business dreams to fruition. It is the world’s largest franchise consulting firm and brings a great deal of insight to your quest.
