May 2, 2008 Why a Franchise may be the best choice for you Did you know that ..... Franchise businesses account for nearly 50% of all retail sales in the United States and... 1 out of every 12 businesses is a franchised business. Total sales by franchised businesses is approaching 2-trillion dollars. A U.S. department of commerce study conducted from 1971 to 1997 showed that during that time less than 5% franchise businesses were closed each year.
A 1999 study by The United States Chamber of Commerce found that 86% of franchises opened within the last five years were still under the same ownership and 97% of them were still open for business. Compare that to a U.S. Small Business Administration study conducted from 1978 to 1998, which found that 62% of non franchised businesses closed within the first 6 years of their existence due to failure, bankruptcy, etc. A new franchised business is opened every 8 minutes of every business day. In 2000, the median gross annual income, before taxes, of franchisees was in the $75,000 to $124,000 range, with over 30% of franchisees earning over $150,000 per year.
