Manager Run Franchise

Balancing a Job and a Franchise: The Semi-Passive Business Model

​

For entrepreneurs who want to keep their current jobs while running a franchise, a semi-passive or manager-run business offers an ideal solution. With a commitment of just 4-15 hours per week, these businesses can be effectively managed from a distance, making them perfect for busy professionals or those involved in other ventures.

​

The manager-run model allows you to maintain your primary job while building equity in a franchise. This approach is beneficial for those who wish to grow their investments without completely overhauling their current schedules.

Many franchise opportunities are well-suited to this model. These businesses often require technical skills and people management rather than executive expertise. For example, franchise sectors such as haircutting, auto repair, massage therapy, personal training, weight loss clinics, and car washing typically involve skilled workers who excel in their fields but may lack formal business education. These skilled workers can make excellent managers, often handling client services while managing daily operations under the guidance of an owner with executive and financial expertise.

​

Owners of semi-passive franchises usually invest 10-15 hours a week, with flexibility in managing their involvement. This setup allows them to focus on broader business goals, including cash flow optimization, tax reduction, marketing, and expansion.
