Date with destiny: Take the franchise route to success

TIMES of recession have traditionally seen a greater interest in franchising as people look to take their destiny in their own hands,” says David Killeen, chairman of the Irish Franchise Association.
“While there is certainly increased interest in franchising, this time around there is more caution due to a large extent by the difficult times in the economy. There is a great deal of interest in the lower cost franchises at present, a reflection perhaps of people not wanting to risk all of their savings or redundancy payments.”
