Let’s face it: Owning an independent staffing agency is challenging. Managing day-to-day busywork like paperwork, marketing tactics and payroll can quickly become overwhelming. Many business owners find that spending time on these tasks takes the joy out of business ownership, in part because it leaves them with little time left to work on growing their business and building relationships. If you’re feeling this way, converting your staffing business to a franchise might be just what you need to enjoy running your business again.
What is a conversion franchise?
When the owner of an existing business decides to become part of a franchise system, it’s known as a conversion franchise. The business owner retains ownership of their business but is now part of a larger franchise network. This means they are able to leverage the franchisor’s support systems, training, branding and other invaluable resources to take their business to the next level.
What are the benefits of converting my business into a franchise?
By joining a franchise family and getting help with these day-to-day tasks, many business owners find that they have the bandwidth to enjoy the business ownership experience again. Converting your business to a franchise can also boost its growth as you benefit from brand recognition and support systems.
