What are the associated costs?
Costs can vary drastically from franchise to franchise, depending on the industry and the initial investment required. The IFPG can provide business owners with detailed information about the cost of entry for every franchise.
Do I need experience to purchase a franchise?
Generally speaking, it’s not necessary to have prior experience in the business or industry related to the franchise. All franchises come with an extensive training package and support to help the franchisee become successful.
What are the best franchises for busy families?
Today’s entrepreneurs have the potential to set and schedule their own hours, allowing them more flexibility when it comes to finding a balance between family and their business. Businesses such as senior care, child care, home health care, and pet care franchises are especially attractive to busy families who are looking for a way to invest while still allowing them to prioritize their family time.
How do I determine which franchises are best for me?

What is the process of purchasing a franchise?
The process begins with IFPG helping to identify the best franchise for the family. They will then provide detailed information about the purchase process and help guide the family through the due-diligence process. If the business owners decide that the franchise is a good fit, IFPG will help them launch the new business.
