Every year, millions of Americans from all walks of life start businesses, find jobs and gain skills through the uniquely accessible franchise business model. Today, there are nearly than 800,000 franchise establishments representing 300 lines of business. Together, these business support nearly 8.9 million direct jobs and generate more than $890,000 billion in economic output. <p style="font-style: normal; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: white; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">And yet, despite the impact of franchising on the economy, the business model is misunderstood by the government and the public.

We need to shout that story from the rooftops to help secure our future and ensure that even more people can use franchising to climb the ladder to success for decades to come.&#8221; <p style="font-style: normal; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: white; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><a href="http://1851franchise.com/" target="_blank">1851 Franchise</a>, a leading news source for business and franchising, is happy to help spread that message.
