Show by Millionaire University
#1151 What if you could replace your income in just a few years by following a proven business playbook instead of starting from scratch? In this special cross-promotion from Nick Loper’s The Side Hustle Show, Nick sits down with franchise consultant Greg Mohr (FranchiseMaven.com) to break down whether buying a franchise can be a smart “semi-absentee” side hustle. Greg explains why franchises can have lower failure rates than starting from scratch, how to do real due diligence, and what separates the winners. They also dig into what kinds of franchises are most realistic part-time — especially home services and senior care — plus common financing paths like SBA loans and how to think about franchises as both cash flow and an eventual sellable asset! (Original Air Date - 3/13/26) What Nick discusses with Greg: + Franchises vs. startups + Semi-passive ownership model + Talk to franchisees first + Service franchises advantages + Franchise fee vs. DIY + SBA loan financing options + Hire strong general manager + Franchise disclosure due diligence + Break-even and profit timelines + Building sellable business asset Thank you, Nick and Greg!
