Maggie Payette Harlow believes this is a great time to buy a business – especially if the business is a franchise. “People are looking for stability and a sense of control right now,” said Maggie Harlow, co-owner with her husband Brian of Louisville’s first FranchiseMart.

She explained that franchises offer many advantages during turbulent times. Usually, financing is available through the franchisor so the buyer doesn’t have to go through traditional channels to get a loan. And, often the purchasing price of a franchise – especially if a build-out is not required – is lower than that of an existing business. Another selling point is that buyers don’t have to prove that the concept they are considering is a viable business model. “Besides, there are so many options available, from home-based to large retail ventures,” she said.

Harlow explained that FranchiseMart is a resource for those interested in a more efficient and effective way to research before investing in a business. The key to FranchiseMart’s success is the state-of-the-art showroom, free one-on-one assistance and broad selection of more than 100 franchise opportunities. UNITED FRANCHISE GROUP, a $500-million company with 30 years of franchising experience and 1,400 franchise locations in 50 countries, developed the concept. Full article.
