Women make great franchisees
Franchising can offer opportunities for women seeking flexible working hours in order to supplement a family income or juggle the responsibilities of home and children, so there is no need for the usual trade-off between family and business commitments - therefore providing the perfect work-life balance solution.
In fact, the 2010 NatWest/bfa survey showed that more women are now starting to get involved in franchising, with 39% of recent franchisees women compared with only 21% in 2003.
Opportunities are available from building and property services to estate agency and letting services, training & recruitment, food & drink, health & beauty and all can be effectively run by women.
Buying a franchise - a business that has demonstrated that its business model works, has staying power and can be successfully replicated - has historically been shown to be more successful in a recession than starting your business.
