Investor/Executive Franchises

Investor/executive franchises are an excellent opportunity for you to leverage your business acumen into a franchise enterprise that won’t require daily involvement on your part once your business has been successfully launched. Explore America’s Best Franchises for the executive and investor franchises that could help you grow your portfolio.

What is an Executive Leadership Franchise Model?

An executive leadership model, which is also known as an investor franchise model, doesn’t require franchisees to be in a store or restaurant every day once their franchise location is off the ground. As you build your business, you will hire managers to steer the day-to-day operations of your franchise, including tasks like hiring, scheduling, inventory and customer service. Hiring this manager or team of managers does require more capital than an owner-operator model, however, once you have the cashflow to do so, it will give you the opportunity to focus on the executive functions of running your franchise, like strategizing for growth and setting long-term goals. You may have also heard this type of ownership referred to as “absentee ownership.”

If your business goals include multi-unit or multi-brand franchise ownership, market penetration, and building an enterprise, executive franchise models, or investor franchise models, might be right for you.

Restaurant Franchises

Many restaurant franchises utilize the executive leadership franchise model. This means that although you’ll be the owner of a restaurant, you won’t be chopping, cooking, or serving up any food. You will find a general manager you can trust to tackle daily operations like managing team schedules, ordering ingredients, and providing top-notch customer service. This leaves you free to focus on growing your business whether that’s strategizing ways to market one location or analyzing your market for multi-unit opportunities. Regardless, you don’t have to be in your restaurant (or restaurants!) every day. Explore our restaurant franchises that are also executive leadership franchises.

ATM Franchises

With low overhead costs and no experience required, ATM franchises can be a great way for you to build a booming enterprise. With the help of your franchisor, you will find perfect locations and hire a team to handle maintenance and upkeep when necessary. There is no store for you to go into or a large team for you to manage. An ATM franchise is an excellent example of an executive franchise that will allow you to minimize your daily involvement while maximizing the possibility of profit.

Home Investment Franchises

Even if you don’t have any real estate investment experience, a home investment franchise could be a great fit for you if you have a passion for transformation. Home investment franchisees join well-known “house flipping” brands and invest in the purchase and renovation of homes. With the backing of a franchisor, you’ll benefit from increased lead generation and already-established relationships with vendors and contractors. Check out our home investment franchises and find one that is a perfect fit for you and the lifestyle you want.
