Semi-absentee ownership is a popular franchise model that allows the owner to keep their full-time job or pursue other ventures while managing the business part-time. In this setup, the franchisee hires a manager or team to run the daily operations. This structure appeals to investors or professionals who want to diversify income streams without being fully involved in the business’s operational grind. However, it still requires regular oversight, strategic decision-making, and performance tracking. Not all franchises support semi-absentee models, so it’s essential to verify with the franchisor and assess the system’s support for this approach.
