What are Chicago professionals doing when they can’t find a job? An increasing number are buying them.
Unemployment among affluent professionals aged 50 to 60 is unfortunately more and more common. In response, many are taking proactive measures to explore the purchase of a franchise to secure their business, personal and financial futures.
The Chicago region is seeing a spike in franchise buyers who are investing in businesses of their own, which leverage their talents, instead of returning to the corporate world.
For individuals who have a job, but see instability ahead I suggest that you begin the due diligence process, and see what franchise concepts may be right for you. Business to business, retail, food, service-oriented, and lots more -- 3,500-plus franchise opportunities in fact.
The benefits of franchising with a reputable brand are profound, including ongoing marketing support, research and development, operational consultation, start-up assistance, preferred finance partners, real estate guidance, and the list goes on.
As you seek out the right fit for you, I suggest connecting with a franchise consultant to help you navigate your course. He or she can assist in matching your skill sets with a franchise model that pairs well with your abilities and lifestyle goals.
