Career Transitioning Into Franchise Ownership
If there is one thing that the last 2 years have shown us is that anything can happen. COVID-19 threw us quite a curveball that sent us inside, off work, learning new hobbies, new ways to adapt to working from home, and in some cases, learning things about ourselves that we never knew before.
If you are one of those people who have found themselves while at home and are looking for a change in their career, you may have also become interested in changing your career or owning a business.
You’ve come across this blog because you’ve searched for franchise opportunities. Why consider a franchise? A franchise can open up a whole new world of opportunities, experiences, and challenges you are looking to have in your career. So what steps do you take from career transitioning into franchise ownership? We’ve got the advice, resources, and tips to help you go from employee to business owner!
Financial Awareness
Before you get started with any ideas of what kind of franchise you would like to own, you want to look into what is affordable to you financially. Leaving the corporate world or any career means you will be transitioning from the benefits, paychecks, and other things you’ve gained from being an employee.
As a franchise owner, you will be awarded benefits and payments, but as you transition into this new role, you want to make sure you don’t go without.
You need to be aware and understanding of all the costs associated with becoming a franchisee. It’s more than just the initial franchise fee. You can read more about it in our previous articles, “3 Steps to Business Ownership” and “How to set Goals to Own a New Franchise Business in 2022.”
Take a look at what you currently have saved, assets, monthly income, and more. Next, discuss what you think you need to become a franchisee, and then use our handy funding calculator to look at what you can take on.

Once you’ve found a franchise that you can take on financially, it’s time to start the physical transition. Dreaming about it and researching online can only take you so far. It’s time to adjust your mindset from dreamer to doer.
In the past, transitioning from a stable, steady career may have seemed crazy or impossible, but now it’s becoming more and more common for people to go after their dreams and take chances on opportunities that THEY have always dreamed of.
