Your Franchise Opportunity Is Here
Owning a franchise is a lot different than starting a business from the ground up. Franchising gives you the benefits of owning your own business, but with the added support of a recognized brand and an established method of doing business. If you decide to franchise, you’ll join a growing and productive sector of the business industry. Consider these numbers from the 2022 International Franchising Association (IFA) Franchise Business Economic Outlook.
- In 2022, there will be 792,014 franchise establishments in the United States – up 2.2 percent from 2021.
- In 2022, franchise establishments will employ roughly 8.45 million people in the United States – up 3.1 percent from 2021.
- In 2022, franchise establishments will produce $826.6 billion in output – up 4.9 percent from 2021.
