Ottawa Woman Breaks Glass Ceiling Of Franchising

BeTheBoss.ca:

Concierge Home Services became the first woman owned Ottawa company to successfully franchise her business with the recent sale of the Hunt Club-Riverside territory to a local mother.

New franchisee Jennifer McFee says “After much time spent researching franchises over the past four years, I am thankful that I chose Concierge Home Services as a partner in business. I could not ask for a better Franchisor than Rebecca Page. Her enthusiasm, integrity and business sense is contagious! She has built a company that everyone is proud to be a part of.”

There is a growing trend of woman business owners, but few are taking on the expensive challenge of franchising their company.

The cost of franchising ranges from $50,000 to $200,000, pushing it out of reach of most small businesses. Finding local specialists experienced in establishing franchise systems was difficult. Owner Rebecca Page commented “Ottawa has a well established high tech sector but doesn’t have a lot of support for new franchisors.”
