Non-Food Franchising

The Better Path to Business Ownership

By: Jon Ostenson

Narrated by: Stuart Bentley

Interest in business ownership is at an all-time high and yet many are not aware of the power of franchising and its many opportunities outside of food!

In Non-Food Franchising, Jon Ostenson, CEO of FranBridge Consulting and a top 1% consultant/broker nationally, explores the variety of sectors and shows that there has never been a better time to invest.

Drawing on his own experience as an Inc. 500 franchisor and a multi-brand franchisee, Ostenson covers topics such as:

• Why franchising is more attractive than startups or entrepreneurship through acquisition.
• Who is buying, how are they buying, and what are they buying?
• How franchises can be run with a semi-passive ‘executive model.’
• Why real estate investors are so active in franchising.
• The financials of franchising: investment, revenue, and profit potential.
• How individuals can strategically select the best opportunity.

For those with entrepreneurial aspirations, Ostenson’s turnkey guide is the first step in understanding why non-food franchising is increasingly seen by many as a better path to business ownership!

Great overview

This book provides an excellent overview how starting a franchise compares to other forms of business ownership. It also provides an excellent overview of the franchise, buying process and things to think about before purchasing a franchise.
