While the latest lockdown restrictions brought in at the start of January may not have been the ideal way to kick off 2021 for business owners, this does not mean that all is lost for the rest of the year.
As things begin to gradually improve over the next coming months and restrictions are slowly eased, it’s important to carefully consider your career options and decide what path you would like to take heading into Q2/Q3 of 2021.
By looking at franchise options, you are making a smart business decision as unlike smaller, independent businesses, franchises are known for their resilience - even during times of economic hardship and recessions.
While the Covid-19 pandemic no doubt affected all businesses, franchises have been able to weather the storm; some of them even reported record numbers of enquiries in 2020! Many businesses have either moved to an online/virtual model or applied strict social distancing and hygienic practices, which has led to many franchises still having success with franchisee recruitment.
So why not check out our list of trending franchises to look out for in the month of February?
