Whether you are looking for a new challenge or an additional stream of income, franchising can pave the way to a second career that offers autonomy, flexibility, and desirable income.
While some business owners invest in franchises that reflect the type of work they did in their corporate jobs, others choose encore careers that appeal to their personal interests or desire to be a part of a trusted brand. Our annual Franchise Business Review Top Franchises Guide is a great place to start your franchise research. Over the past 18 months, our team has surveyed over 10,000 franchise owners who chose franchising as a second career to find out exactly how satisfied they are with their franchise business.
Our 2020 Top Franchises for Second Careers list represents the best of the best that franchising has to offer and some of the most award-winning franchise opportunities today.
