## Story

In a recent column for Forbes, Steve Beagelman of SMB Franchise Advisors discussed the benefits of owning a franchise. To start, many franchises can be run in the comfort of your own home. The biggest plus of being a franchisee, Beagelman shares, is that franchisees are in charge of their own destiny.

“There are many reasons people leave the corporate world: no longer having to answer to a manager, no longer feeling overworked, or no longer being tied to workplace hours,” SMB Franchising states in the article. “People who have autonomy in the workplace are happier, and becoming a franchise owner gives you the freedom you simply don’t have as an employee.”

Finally, there is a built-in support system that comes with owning a franchise. This is helpful for the owners because they will always have people there to answer questions about the business plan and day-to-day operations.
