Express Employment Professionals Franchise Model Overview

Express franchisees operate staffing offices that recruit workers and place them with local businesses in light industrial, administrative, and professional roles, earning a markup on the hours worked or a fee on direct placements. The franchisor funds payroll for temporary associates and handles back-office processing, which removes the largest cash-flow burden in staffing from the franchisee. The business is B2B sales on one side and recruiting on the other, and territories are typically defined by metro area. Every office is franchised.

Ideal owner profile

Executive with B2B sales, HR, or management background who wants to build a professional team

Comfortable with a longer ramp in exchange for a large, recurring-revenue business
