For some, the idea of getting off the corporate treadmill and becoming their own boss is the attraction. For others, retirement allows them to fulfill a life's dream. And recently, unemployment may have brought the alternative of business ownership into sharp focus for many.

FranNet brings together franchisors and individuals who are interested in exploring self-employment as a career option.  FranNet consultants provide both information and guidance at no charge to prospective franchise owners to help them assess their aptitude for business ownership and to identify the best franchise options for their background and interests. 

To make it easier to connect with a local FranNet consultant, the new "Find a Consultant" feature on FranNet's recently redesigned website prompts users to enter their zip code. The website displays a complete profile of the local FranNet consultant, including contact and background information.

"We know that exploring the idea of franchise ownership can be daunting," says Jania Bailey, President and COO at FranNet. "Our new website was designed to provide immediate answers to some of the most common questions that prospective entrepreneurs might have. And then, with the new 'Find a Consultant' feature, to allow them easily to connect with someone in their local area who can provide the expert guidance they'll need."

FranNet consultants help people investigate and explore a variety of franchise business ownership options. They offer direction, information, resources and support to help people find a business model that meets their individual needs.

"With more than 3,000 franchise concepts available today, choosing the right opportunity can be a difficult decision," says Bailey. "Our FranNet consultants are experienced business professionals who can offer their clients both insight and hard facts about business ownership."
