Franchise industry in the US and/or Canada
The North American franchise industry alone is valued at close to a trillion dollars a year and is on a continuous expansion. The franchise model offers the highest rate of business success and lowest investment as compared to typical start-ups, making it the most desired business model for new and experienced business owners alike. Acquiring an existing franchise in the US/Canada or taking a local franchise from your home country into new markets in North America yields important Immigration rights and privileges.
