Payroll Vault was among 350 franchise brands, representing nearly 9,000 female franchise owners, that participated in Franchise Business Review’s research on the Top Franchises for Women. Payroll Vault’s franchisees were surveyed on 33 benchmark questions about their experience and satisfaction regarding critical areas of their franchise systems, including leadership, training & support, financial opportunity, and work/life balance.
“Franchising is a fantastic option for women seeking business ownership on a full- or part-time basis,” said Michelle Rowan, president and COO of Franchise Business Review. “With so many franchise opportunities to choose from, it’s critical to do in-depth research to understand how satisfied current female franchise owners are with the training and support, work/life balance, financial opportunity, culture, and leadership of any brand they’re considering before making an investment. When you look at the brands on this year’s list of the Top Franchises for Women, 88% of women said they enjoy being part of their franchise organizations and 3 out 4 said they would recommend their franchise to others—powerful feedback for women considering the transition to business ownership.”
"We're thrilled to be named among the Top 100 Franchise for Women by Franchise Business Review," said Tricia Petteys, CEO and Co-Founder of Payroll Vault. "This award reflects our commitment to supporting and empowering women in business, highlighting the incredible success and satisfaction of our female franchisees who are making a real impact in the payroll and HR services industry."
