I’ve looked at a number of franchises over the last 10 years, I would say probably at least 10 to 20. “This was something I’ve been thinking about for many years. and we came to the conclusion that, yes, this was at this point in time for us.” What made you wake up one day and say, I’d love to have a side business? There were a couple of night where my wife and I stayed up and said, do we want to add the extra burden of a side business? is this really what we want to do. And secondly this was certainly emotional in terms of signing the agreement. For me there, there was an objective view on this in terms of taking a look at the number and making sure that the numbers could work and the timeline could work and it fit for our family and schedule and everything that is involved in terms of starting a side business. I wanted to do something that I know which is Business to Business. Nothing against food, it’s just something I didn’t want to do. Being in a full-time role, I was specifically looking for owner absentee in a B2B model versus a B2C. Or, they’ve got the time commitment to do this. Perhaps they have retired and they want to do something else. There are a lot of franchises that are not owner absentee and that works for many. The owner absentee component of it was critical. We had to make sure that model works for us. By having all of the support necessary, it makes it a little bit easier to do an owner absentee type of business, because I’m in a full-time role today and to run a side business or a part-time business, it’s nice to be able to have, not only the support, but the expertise at hand.” It sounds like it was an emotional decision for you. So, the advantage you get from a franchise, especially in a business in which you’re new to that business, which the coworking office space is something we’ve used at caliber one, but I’ve never run that type of a business. “I started a number of Search businesses in the past and there’s a tremendous amount of heavy lifting.
What do you think is the benefit for someone that is potentially looking at franchises to join a franchise organization versus starting a business from scratch?
