Absentee Ownership

Absentee ownership is a franchise model that enables individuals to invest in a franchise without being involved in the day-to-day management of the business. This ownership style appeals to investors and professionals looking to generate passive income or diversify their portfolio while maintaining other commitments. Typically, a general manager is hired to run the location, and the franchisee plays a strategic oversight role. Not all franchises allow this model, so it’s important to confirm with the franchisor and ensure proper support systems are in place. Absentee ownership is ideal for those looking to expand into franchising while balancing other ventures or full-time work.
