Rhode Island Is Big on Business

Rhode Island is a state of small businesses. Employing over half the workforce, small businesses make up 98.9% percent of the state’s businesses. The state hosts a no-cost program aimed at helping small businesses thrive, and small business advisors are available to assist business owners in establishing and growing their firms.

Investing in its workforce, the state offers free community college to residents. In exchange, those who receive tuition-free courses through the program are required to live, work, or continue their education in Rhode Island. That means a highly educated workforce that’s loyal to Rhode Island businesses.

How Do Franchise Consultants Reduce Risk?

FranNet Consultants helps save you time and money in several ways: by educating you about franchising; by helping you research your business; by identifying the right structure and strategic mix of the businesses you are interested in; and by introducing you to the franchisors that fit your model. Instead of going from place to place, you can get all of this information in one place. This saves you time and money.

We’ll encourage you to thoroughly research any franchise that you are investigating, and we’ll even help you find franchise attorneys and other advisors so you can gain more information before you buy. We believe that the more you know, the better the odds are that the choice you make will be a good one. As a result, we stress that you spend the necessary time to research before you buy. Once you’ve bought the business, it’s too late to change your mind.
