I opened my Fibrenew franchise about 18 months ago as a long time business development manager but a first time business owner. Choosing which franchise was a good fit took some time. I looked at several models myself, also got a franchise consultant , which I highly reccommend. He showed me other models based on our interview and I made my choice. I feel I am in a field that is recession resistant, and cannot be replaced by AI (although we have great AI tools to help us). It was about a 6-7 month process for me. I feel that I picked a great organization with tons of support and tools that really helped me transition from my corporate life. I'm happy to answer questions you might have if you are considering a franchise.🙂
