It's another new year, and for many, that includes new resolutions and a commitment to improving their life. If you find yourself dissatisfied with reporting to someone else, a ceiling on the amount of money you can make, or a lack of freedom in the day-to-day grind – reinventing your career by owning your own business may be the right move for you!

And you'd hardly be alone. An August 2017 economic forecast from the International Franchise Association (IFA) predicted that the franchise sector would increase the number of establishments by 1.6%, to 745,000 locations, and the "dollars output" of franchise businesses to increase 5.3%, to $711B.
