Have you thought about starting your own business? How about possibly starting one while keeping your day job?
Franchise ownership is one of the fastest growing segments of business ownership and for good reason. It is affordable, offers a proven method of success, allows for easy entry, and provides options for a variety of backgrounds and skill levels.
Franchises provide the playbook for you to execute your business ownership dreams and statistics show that franchise businesses succeed at a considerably higher rate than do start-up businesses.
Franchise expert, Adam Goldman, will discuss the different types of franchises available and why the franchising model makes sense for some people.
Presented by: Adam Goldman
Mr. Goldman has over 20 years of experience in business, startups and franchising. He has a Master of Business Administration degree from the University of California Berkeley.
Adam has founded three successful companies in IT, Real Estate and Vanguard Cleaning Area Developer Concept and is the author of an acclaimed book, The Franchisee Lifestyle. This book is an extension of the work that Mr. Goldman does on a daily basis with Franchise Coach. Helping people gather the information they need to make the right decision is the primary focus of his practice and he especially loves franchises because they include structured processes that increase the likelihood of a business success.
