I joined Cherry Chan on her recent podcast to cover all things franchise. We discussed how there are hundreds of franchises that do not sell burgers and pizza - think home services, senior care and B2B commercial business.
Most people associate franchises with fast food, but there are actually hundreds of franchise opportunities across industries like home services, senior care, commercial cleaning, HVAC, plumbing, and more. David Patterson explains that investing in a franchise can provide a proven business model, built-in systems, training, marketing support, and ongoing coaching, helping reduce many of the risks of starting from scratch.
In this conversation with Cherry Chan, we discuss:
✅ What franchising really is
✅ Why many franchise owners succeed where independent businesses struggle
✅ Startup costs, financing options, and ROI expectations
✅ How some franchise owners scale to multi-million-dollar businesses
✅ Building a business that can eventually become a sellable asset
