Valente spoke with 1851 Franchise on the benefits of franchise models, highlighting the shared experience and guidance that comes with a corporate model. She pointed out the importance of organization and a self-starter attitude for a franchisee to run a successful business, and the rich opportunities that exist for people willing to dive into a guided business practice.

“Being new to the franchise industry, we’ve discovered that the world is huge and there are a lot of options out there,” she said. “I think it’s really important for someone looking for a new business to really look for a great fit and also to have someone they can bounce ideas off of.”

Valente says a great franchisee is someone who is organized and can manage projects, and someone who wants to make their own future with a self-starter attitude.
