Written on October 1st, 2007 by Ryan Lee in Franchise News.

With more and more people 55 years and above of age gearing up to start their own entrepreneurial business, the franchising world seems to be the ultimate haven for the baby boomers. Instead of enjoying the peace and happiness of retired life, they are all set to start their second innings of their career. But, what makes these baby boomers so enthusiastic about franchising businesses? Firstly, they have realized that, though they are on the back side of 50, they have lots of fire left within them. The passion for doing something new and unique has brought them in the franchising arena. They want something more out of their lives. Moreover, years of experience have turned them into much poised and self-assured individuals, who are not at all apprehensive about taking the plunge all over again.

Without getting depressed about the thought of being empty nesters, the baby boomers are devoting their time and energy towards their franchising businesses. Most of them have been a part of the corporate world throughout their careers where punctuality and discipline were crucial factors. But, now they yearn for a certain degree of freedom and flexibility, besides looking forward to make huge financial fortunes through franchising!

If we delve into the history of franchising, we can come across several instances where people in there late 50s have tasted incredible success in their entrepreneurial careers. For example, Ray Kroc, while expanding his McDonald’s franchise, was above 50 whereas while starting Kentucky Fried Chicken, Colonel Sanders was more than 65 years old! Moreover, there are certain franchisors that are looking mostly for these baby boomers in order to grow their businesses, because they want to make the most out of their vast experience and profound wisdom.
