Top 3 Value Bombs

1. Non-sexy is the new sexy. The best franchise opportunities aren’t trendy, they’re recession-resilient and rooted in everyday needs like home services, senior care, and wellness.

2. Franchising vs. buying a business. Many aspiring entrepreneurs spend years chasing existing businesses. Franchising can offer a faster, proven path with built-in support and less risk.

3. You don’t need millions. Most franchise opportunities range from 150K – 400K and can be funded through SBA loans or retirement accounts, making business ownership accessible.
