People wanting to break away from a corporate job or enhance their investment options often turn to investing in a franchise. Running such a business as a hands-on owner/operator or choosing to be a more passive owner/investor are great options for smart, motivated individuals to create wealth.
Today I interview a specialist in franchising. Jon Ostenson is himself an investor who has successfully diversified his own portfolio but now assists potential buyers.
Look for these points:
- Understanding the entry point to becoming a franchises
- Great businesses are not limited to food-related stores
- Knowing the right mindset to become a franchisee
- If not now then when?
- How much business do you need to know?
- Tolerating risk
- How would you otherwise de-risk other investments?
