HWCG Celebrates Diversity in Franchising
There are over 582 million entrepreneurs in the world, and the number of small businesses has doubled since 1982. As these numbers continue to grow year after year, franchise organizations have put a priority on creating a more diverse and inclusive area for business owners to thrive. Franchising opens doors for anyone, regardless of race, gender, experience, or education.
Nearly one-third of franchise owners are minority-owned, compared to 18.8% of the non-franchise-owned businesses. Minority and women-owned franchise ownership in the past decade doubled in the last decade and is continued to keep growing.
