Why has the franchising industry grown so quickly?

Because franchising, as a business opportunity expansion technique, has been overwhelmingly successful. Franchise opportunities allow aspiring business owners to pursue their dreams in an industry that they love while eliminating much of the risk and guesswork that usually accompany a new business start-up. Small business franchise opportunities offer benefits that people would not experience by starting a business on their own. Today, franchising is a major force in almost every industry imaginable. Franchise ideas and concepts account for a major share of retail sales throughout the U.S. According to IHS Economics, one of the leading economic analysis and forecasting firms in the world, “Franchise businesses accounted for approximately 3% of U.S. GDP or a total of $495 billion in 2014. Based on our employment and output forecasts for franchising in 2015, we project that nominal GDP of the franchise sector will increase by 5.1% to $521 billion. This will exceed the growth of total U.S. GDP in nominal dollars, which is projected at 4.9%”.

According to statistics provided by the U.S. Department of Commerce

Franchise opportunities have proven to be the best choice for entrepreneurs who recognize their need for guidance and support and value a long-term plan for business success!
