Although it seemed like one of the longest January’s in recent memory, the month is finally drawing to a close and we can all breathe a sigh of relief.
As we look forward to the beginning spring and brighter mornings/evenings, we can reflect back on what was an incredibly busy and successful month for the world of franchising.
While the recent layoffs within the tech sector have no doubt shaken the business world and indeed, the public, it is worth nothing that despite the doom and gloom, the franchising industry continues to prosper and grow, making it an exciting investment opportunity for those looking not only for a career change, but also want that extra level of stability.
