Dec. 10, 2019 – Nearly 3 in 4 prospective franchisees own their own home, and more than three-quarters have lived at the same address for more than 5 years, according to the latest data analysis by Franchise Ventures. Those are important indicators of financial wherewithal and stability for franchisors recruiting new owners for their franchise.

For this analysis, Franchise Ventures combined its pool of investment inquiries with demographic data from Alliant, a leading provider of U.S. consumer audience targeting and data enrichment and predictive analytics.
