A turnkey franchise opportunity
Spherion Staffing & Recruiting periodically offers resales of existing local offices. These are successful franchises whose owner is ready to pass the opportunity to own and grow the business to someone who will continue Spherion’s mission of driving careers, growing businesses, and bettering the communities we call home.
Spherion’s franchise opportunity builds upon 75+ years of experience and a wealth of workforce knowledge. You’ll step into franchise ownership with an established brand and a documented reputation of excellence delivering recruitment, staffing, and workforce support services to more than 160,000 employees and 3,000 clients annually. Our goal is to be known for offering a pipeline of skilled talent and satisfying career opportunities that help companies and communities thrive. Future franchise owners like you help us achieve that goal!
Spherion franchise resales offer the unique opportunity to expand a business in new directions. The turnkey nature of a franchise resale means your operations are already established; you can begin earning revenue on Day 1! Spherion offers minimal start-up costs combined with payroll and billing support so you can focus on sales over cash flow. In some cases, a resale franchise offers the opportunity to own your own business for a lower cost than our typical fee schedule.
The average Spherion franchisee generated approximately $7.4 million in revenue and $1.6 million in gross profit in 2022.* Business owners benefit from the stability of protected, exclusive territories plus our standard 10-year contract with 5-year renewals.
