Here’s the ugly truth: 80% of independent business startups fail within their first five years, according to the Small Business Administration.
That's not just a statistic – it represents thousands of shattered dreams and depleted savings accounts.
But here's where it gets interesting: Over 80% of franchise businesses are still operating after five years. Not only that, but they are also successful and profitable.
What's behind this dramatic difference?
Think of it this way: Starting an independent business is like sailing in what we call "red ocean" waters – shark-infested and highly competitive. You're navigating without a map, often unable to see the challenges lurking beneath the surface until they've already damaged your ship.
Whereas franchise businesses operate in what I call the - Blue Ocean.
When you invest in a franchise, you're not just buying a business; you're gaining access to:
Another benefit is that some of them are also ‘recession-proof’.
Take commercial cleaning, for example—when the pandemic hit, these businesses became essential, keeping hospitals, grocery stores, and offices clean and safe. Their work wasn’t just about disinfecting spaces; they also kept businesses running when it mattered most.
The franchise system has already made the mistakes – so you don't have to. They've developed solutions to challenges that might otherwise sink an independent business.
They are your best bet for PROFITABLE business ownership.
