This feels like the right time in your career to investigate franchising opportunities. You’re ready to be your own boss, set your own hours, and enjoy the perks of business ownership without all the trial and error. What you may not have considered is the positive impact that franchise opportunities can have on your community. Read on to learn more about creating jobs through franchising.

Which Types of Franchises Create Jobs?

All franchises check a few of the same basic boxes. For example, all franchises operate under a parent company. To some degree, franchisees have access to existing products, services, or branding. That said, there are different types of franchises, and not all of them will create multiple positions that local employees can fill.

For example, job and distribution franchises will create work for you as the franchisee, but you probably won’t need (or be able to) hire employees to help. Instead, you’re going to want to consider business format franchises, which typically necessitate a brick-and-mortar location and a team of employees.

What Positions Do All Dogs Unleashed Locations Need to Fill?

All Dogs Unleashed is a perfect example of business format franchises that create local job opportunities. As an ADU franchisee, you’ll open a location that offers boarding, training, and grooming to your community’s dog owners. Naturally, that means you’ll need to hire employees that can fill each of these roles.

As your appointment times fill up, you’ll likely need to have a few groomers and trainers on the clock during your business hours. You’ll also need at least one staff member available to take care of your boarded dogs. Many of our franchisees have created over a dozen new jobs in their neighborhoods!

How Can You Build a Stellar Franchise Staff?

If you haven’t been part of a hiring team before, the prospect of building a staff may seem a little intimidating. Fortunately, it isn’t as complicated as you may think. Once you know what roles you need to fill, how much you can pay, and when you’ll need them to start, you can list your open jobs on popular job boards like Indeed and Glassdoor.

Always hold in-person interviews with your top prospects. When hiring for customer-facing roles, base your decisions on a combination of past experience and personality. Remember, you can train someone to properly groom a dog, but you can’t train someone to show up with a positive attitude every day.

Do Franchises Let You Earn Passive Income?

If you’re considering investing in a business format franchise to earn a passive income, make sure you do your research. It’s possible that with the right staff, your franchise can start to operate like a well-oiled machine, and you can take a hands-off position. However, you should expect to be directly involved in the beginning. Many franchisees act as the head manager of their branch, which can still afford a lot of scheduling freedom.
