About this Talk

When considering the paths of a franchise owner versus a new venture founder, distinct roles and opportunities emerge within the entrepreneurial landscape. While both pursue business success, their approaches, support systems, and relationships within the industry differ significantly.

If you are interested in either starting your own franchise business or becoming a franchisee, this is for you. We’re diving into: 

  • How a franchise owner differs from a new venture founder
  • What a franchise owner can take advantage of that a new venture founder typically cannot
  • The typical initial steps for someone looking to own a franchise
  • How a franchise owner is supported by the larger umbrella corporation

This session is a part of Startup Boston Week 2024 and is perfect for folks with an entrepreneurial spirit interested in starting a franchise or folks who are interested in potentially becoming a franchisee of an existing brand.
