Franchises are Good Investments in a Tough Economy

In an uncertain economic environment, a franchise opportunity can be a smart investment for the business-minded.

Every year, thousands of Americans invest in franchises as a gateway to business ownership, the Houston Chronicle writes. But a franchise requires a certain personality type and character traits that are not always matched with independent business ownership.

If investors are looking for a stable investment with relatively low risk, a franchise may be the best choice, the paper reports. Franchisees are encouraged to work within the already existing system - investors will not be required to try out new ideas or test innovative strategies.

Additionally, the most successful franchisees rely on the franchisor support staff and fellow franchisees for advice. A willingness to ask questions and admit when help is needed are key traits for team-building.

Franchises can be a path to financial independence and stability for many individuals. Franchising.com estimates that franchise businesses generate $2.3 trillion in sales in the U.S. each year.
