What is an owner-operator franchise?

As implied by the name, this franchise model lets franchisees hold the reins in the daily operations and management of the business. This ownership style is perfectly suited for those who want total control over their investment and want to make all operational decisions. It requires a greater time commitment, but it is ideal for anyone who is looking for a career change or wants to be fully involved in all aspects of their business. This model is also perfect for first-time franchise owners, as you will learn the inner workings of your brand and its practices from the ground up and be able to confidently lead your team to success with the support and backing of your franchisor. As opposed to absentee and semi-absentee styles of franchise ownership, the owner-operator model is the most common.

A Cost-Effective Model

An owner-operator franchise generally requires a lower level of financial investment than the absentee and semi-absentee models since you won’t be required to hire a high-salary manager to run the business in your absence. The money you save can go towards growing your business.

A Greater Sense of Control

Franchisees who own and operate their business typically have a greater degree of control over the way the franchise functions. You’ll be central to all components of the business with the added assistance of staff and employees. Through close supervision, you can ensure that your business runs the way you see fit. If you have the burning desire to be hands-on in the growth of your franchise, this model is likely an excellent choice for you.

 A Full-Time Career

Since this model of franchise ownership requires a daily presence, it probably isn’t the right avenue for investors hoping to maintain a separate career. For dedicated owner-operators, the reward lies in the hard work, perseverance, and personal commitment to growing your business from the ground up.

Support

As with the other types of franchise ownership, the right franchisor will provide you with all the training and support you need to operate your business. The best training program will educate you about the higher-level functions of owning a business while also addressing all the hands-on aspects pertaining to your particular business and industry. For both first-time owners and experienced entrepreneurs, the owner-operator franchise model provides an appealing level of support and autonomy.
