Discover What Type of Franchise Owner You Might Be

One of the first things I ask people when we start working together is: “What do you want your life to look like?”

Not just what business you want to own,  but how you want your days to feel. Because that answer often tells us more than any initial preferences ever could.

Let’s have some fun with it.

Below are 4 common Franchise Personas I see all the time — and the types of brands they often align with.

Which one sounds like you?

🏝 The Lifestyle Architect

You’re not trying to build an empire.  You’re building freedom. You want something low-stress, flexible, and cash-flow friendly.

You might be drawn to:

• Home-based or mobile businesses
• Semi-passive ownership models
• Services that run on systems (not you)

💡 Think: pet services, home cleaning, mobile health & wellness

💼 The Corporate Escape Artist

You’ve had a great career — but you’re ready to do something for you. You want control over your time, income, and future.

You might be drawn to:

• Scalable models that use your leadership skills
• Established brands with strong support
• B2B or professional services

💡 Think: consulting, staffing, home improvement, education

🚀 The Empire Builder

You’re all in. You want to grow fast, maybe even multi-unit. You’re comfortable managing people, systems, and strategy.

You might be drawn to:

• Emerging brands with open territories
• Brick-and-mortar models with high ROI
• Businesses with room to scale

💡 Think: entertainment, fitness, automotive, wellness

👨👩👧👦 The Legacy Creator

You’re thinking about the long game. You want a business that can support your family — or even involve them. You may not need to grow huge — but you want it to matter.

You might be drawn to:

• Reliable, recession-resistant brands
• Community-based services
• Multi-generational ownership potential

💡 Think: home services, restoration, education, niche retail

🔍 So… Which Persona Are You?

Most people are a mix of two. Some start as one persona and grow into another.

But the goal isn’t to fit into a box or use self-limiting labels — it’s to get clarity around what you want your business to do for your life.
