This is the year that you’re finally going to take the plunge and become your own business owner. You’ve decided that franchise ownership is the best option for you because of the built-in support that will set you up for success. Now, it’s time to decide which franchise to join. Read on to discover how to find the best franchising opportunities in 2025.

Breaking Down Franchising Models

Franchises all have one thing in common: they give entrepreneurs access to existing business models while still granting the independence of ownership. Beyond that basic premise, franchise is an umbrella term that encompasses a wide variety of models including:

• Business format franchises: a model that allows franchisees to sell their parent company’s products or services and use their parent company’s branding in an online or physical store
• Product distribution franchises: a model that allows franchisees to sell their parent company’s products under their own unique branding
• Investment franchises: a model that requires substantial capital in which franchisees tend to fund the business without participating in day-to-day operations

For robust entrepreneurs looking to open a business like All Dogs Unleashed, the business format franchise is the best choice.

Assessing Franchise Growth Potential

Once you’ve chosen a model that best suits your goals, you still have quite a bit of work to do deciding which franchise to invest in. Start by learning more about the growth potential of any franchises catching your eye.

For example, All Dogs Unleashed has over twenty locations and has become one of the fastest growing dog training franchises in the country. Our success is fueled by the growing population of dog owners who are eager to build lasting relationships with the professionals who are training, grooming, and boarding their dogs. Our one-stop storefronts serve as the perfect solution for the dedicated dog parent.

Considering Your Skills and Long-Term Goals

The more closely aligned a franchise is with your skills and long-term goals, the more likely it is that you’ll have success as a franchisee and enjoy the work. However, unlike applying for a traditional job, you probably don’t need to check every box yourself.

Our All Dogs Unleashed franchisees aren’t necessarily dog-training experts right out of the gate. Instead, they’ve got experience in things like customer service, staff management, and marketing. With our help (and smart delegation), they quickly come to master the specific hard skills needed to thrive in the pet services industry.

Researching Your Local Market

Finally, it’s time to assess how well a franchise could perform in your local market. The goal is to balance high demand with low competition so that you’re tapping into a consumer base that isn’t already loyal to another company.

At All Dogs Unleashed, we offer a business model that’s designed to perform well in just about any market. Your town may have other trainers, groomers, and kennels, but with ADU, you can offer an unbeatable all-in-one experience. Learn more about our franchising opportunities today.
