Franchises Add 16,520 New Jobs in the U.S

“Recession-Proof” Industries Show Steady Growth in the Region
By: FranNet
 
TOLEDO, Ohio - March 3, 2014 - PRLog -- As more people are finding themselves “downsized,” forced into early retirement, or unable to move up in their careers due to corporate cut-backs or culture, many choose to start a business of their own. According to the Small Business Administration, 900,000 people unemployed in 2010 opened their own businesses in 2011. Those with serious time constraints, lack of funds, or business background look to franchise opportunities as an avenue of business ownership.

The ADP National Franchise Report (http://www.adpemploymentreport.com/2014/January/NFR/NFR-January-2014.aspx) for January 2014 shows franchises offering various business services account for more than 3,000 of these jobs alone. According to Bill Rickman, Franchise Consultant with FranNet, a leading franchise consulting service, approximately 95% of their clients are still operating in year one and approximately 85% after year 3!

“That figure is completely dependent on whether or not the business owner invests in a franchise that aligns with his skill set, educational background, passions, and goals,” Mr. Rickman advises. “We’ve seen franchises thrive during the recession and continue doing well even in this shaky economy, but only because a lot of careful thought was put into choosing the right franchise for them.” Rickman goes on to explain that “FranNet uses a unique ‘matchmaking’ system, or Personal Franchise Assessment, which guides prospective franchise owners toward a business model that offers a high probability of success based on their specific answers.”

Despite the uncertain economy, several industries are enjoying steady growth nationwide. In 2013, computer repair and networking, senior care, nutrition stores, and auto care were among the top contenders showing gains anywhere from 4.92% to more than 17%.

To help those people who are considering self-employment learn about available opportunities, financial resources, and how to determine “best fit” for them, FranNet of Toledo is sponsoring a free live event:
