Episode Details

In this episode of 9–5 Exit Plan, I sit down with Jon Ostenson, Founder and CEO of FranBridge Consulting, an Inc. 5000 company, top 0.1% franchise consultant, and bestselling author of Non-Food Franchising.

Jon draws on his experience as a former franchise president and multi-brand franchisee to explain why franchising is attracting increasing attention from entrepreneurs and investors.

We discuss franchising versus starting a business from scratch, active versus semi-passive ownership, why real estate investors are exploring franchises, the financials behind franchise investments, common mistakes, and how to evaluate whether a franchise is actually right for you.

If you’ve ever considered becoming a business owner but don’t want to start completely from zero, this conversation will give you a practical framework for thinking about franchising as an entrepreneurial path.
