As well as providing investors with numerous financial and tax benefits, franchise investments also provide a key advantage that everyone yearns for: control over one’s own success and control over one’s own schedule.
“Being in charge of your own destiny is one of the major lifestyle benefits of a franchise investment,” says Steve Drexler, President, St. Louis Franchise. “You have personal time and freedom, and can make time for family; to pick up and drop your children off at school. Those are some of the big reasons why people go into franchising.”
The potential to generate income and take the reins of a franchise with a track record of success is another key differentiator. Lifestyle is important, but the money has to be right, too. “Investors get to take advantage of a proven concept where they create their own compensation,” Drexler says. “There are also better tax advantages than just being someone who generates a T4 income every year. And, you get to develop your own culture. You are the boss.”

“We provide a fully comprehensive 5-6 week training program, which covers all facets of ownership and operation, as well as 2-3 weeks of operational support post-opening. We hold their hand and teach them every position including, most importantly, the financial management tools that are necessary for success in this business.”
