April Porter, member of the Titus Advisory Board at the Titus Center for Franchising, dives into a timely topic: the myth of semi-absentee and absentee ownership in the franchising world. April shares insights from a recent consultation with franchisees who assumed they’d be able to maintain a minimal time commitment, only to find that building a profitable business required more than anticipated. With a focus on transparency and the importance of clear expectations, she discusses common misconceptions that can lead franchisees astray and highlights key questions potential franchisees should ask before investing.
Key Takeaways:
• Semi-absentee ownership may not always mean minimal involvement, especially in the first year.
• Franchisees should ask detailed questions about daily operations, time commitments, and marketing support.
• Clear and honest communication between franchisors and franchisees is crucial to building successful partnerships.
