Legal & Finance franchises in Canada

Legal and finance franchises deliver professional services that do not require inventory or expensive premises and equipment.

Statistics show that this keeps start-up costs and ongoing overheads modest compared to other sectors.

Whether it’s a loan provider, management consultancy, or tax and accountancy brand, most franchise opportunities cater to businesses and operate family-friendly office hours. This is great news for franchisees who want to avoid working evenings and weekends.

Depending on the sector, market research shows that franchisees often enjoy several revenue streams and significant repeat business, among other positive industry trends.

It’s generally uncommon for franchisors to only recruit franchisees with direct experience or qualifications in the industry in question.

However, many of those providing legal and financial services do require candidates to have a background in relevant fields, and experience in senior positions in other sectors is favorable.
