Business Ownership - A Career? An Investment? Both?

As 2013 draws near, many questions remain ...  Will my job still exist?  Will my 401(k) jump off the fiscal cliff?  There are many things that effect you that are outside of your control.

Maybe it's time to take control.

Business ownership is a way to take control.  Whether you see owning a business as an investment or a new career - there are many avenues that can point you towards success.

Join me on Wednesday, December 19 in Caledonia, MI (from 1:30pm to 3:00pm) for more information about franchising and the different ownership options and entry strategies available (ranging from single unit owner to semi-absentee investor to regional developer. We'll talk about paths to achieving YOUR goals, and if franchising is right for you.

Following is a brief outline of the topics covered in FranNet’s seminar:
- General discussion of the reasons that compel individuals to start their own business in the first place.
- A comparison of the pros and cons of starting a business from scratch, buying an existing business or starting a franchise.
- How franchising can provide a desirable alternative to traditional employment by reducing the risk of ownership to an acceptable level through proven business systems, comprehensive training and ongoing support.
- Basic information on franchising, including the range of industry categories, entry and long-term strategies, investment levels and fees.
- The legal regulations governing franchising that protect the buyer.
- A strategic approach to defining your personal business model, quantifying your returns and safely researching and selecting the business opportunity that’s right for you.
- Growth trends and choices in franchising that offer stability and success in weak and strong economies.
- A brief overview of FranNet’s no-fee, no-obligation consulting service is also provided.

    Our Home Transitional: Female Veteran Transitional Housing
    Our Home Transitional (OHT) consists of a diverse team leading the way in offering transitional housing for female veterans coming back from war, or serving our country in any capacity. Our program will offer governmental and social organizational help, including but not limited to: In The Grove, VA, VetBiz Central, LearnKey Veterans Services, Workforce Development Vet’s Division, Land Bank, SVMAP and Cars4vets. The OHT advisory board currently consists of a CPA, Insurance Agent, Restoration Company, Attorney, Financial Advisor, and a Realtor.

    We will be starting a pilot program with our first female veteran soon! She will be moving into her own home provided by one of our partnering organizations, SV MAP, very soon. All donations through this year will go towards this pilot program.

    Our Home Transitional offers a family environment. We bring a sense of comfort, belonging and stability by offering our clients household jobs and chores as a family unit. While in OHT, resident clients will be provided various types of assistance to transition to civilian life and self- sufficiency. As OHT is up and running successfully, we will be acquiring several other homes to provide a haven for our families, while at the same time, revitalizing and beautifying the City of Flint. We plan to acquire several abandoned or foreclosed homes in the Genesee County, MI area within the coming months. These homes will require major renovation as most of the empty homes in Flint have been stripped. OHT will work with DE Recycling as well as dozens of local residence ready to volunteer!

    Most importantly, we are in need of funding to bring our dream to fruition. There are no transitional housing centers in Genesee County for female veterans, with or without children. There are over 150 homeless, or soon to be homeless, female veterans in our surrounding area of Michigan. It is imperative that Our Home Transitional is up and running immediately, as our women veterans will be coming home soon.

    Help OHT give these women a place to call their own.
