WORKWEEK

By Adam Ryan

The Wolf’s mixing it up this week as he’s joined by special co-host, Dru Carpenito, to chat with franchise-consultant-turned-CFO-franchise-incubator, JT Singh, about what makes up a successful franchise. 

From financial services to home services, they explore the different industries and investment sizes that aspiring franchise owners should consider. What’s the significance of territory size? Do the risks outweigh the rewards when it comes to selling an entire territory to one franchise owner? 

The trio also discusses the various ins and outs of franchise opportunities and dissect how franchisees can best minimize risk in an increasingly competitive market. Discover the importance of thorough research and validation when evaluating franchise opportunities, and learn why talking to existing franchisees is crucial in making an informed decision. Plus, what’s the case for standardization and greater transparency in franchise disclosure documents? 

Whether you’re a seasoned entrepreneur or considering franchising for the first time, you won’t want to miss this incredibly insightful conversation with some of franchising’s finest minds!
