Retirement is great, but let’s be honest—it’s not for everyone. You’ve got decades of experience and energy left to spare, but the thought of going back to a traditional job? Hard pass.
Starting a business sounds exciting, but where do you even begin? Which franchise fits your lifestyle? What’s realistic for your finances? And how do you avoid sinking money into the wrong thing?
It’s a maze out there, and without the right guidance, it’s easy to waste time, energy, and money chasing the wrong opportunities.
That’s where we come in. We specialize in guiding retirees who want to explore franchise ownership.
Whether you’re looking for a full-time passion project, a semi-absentee business, or a side hustle, we help you find franchises that align with your goals, lifestyle, and budget.
We don’t just throw a list of options at you—we work with you one-on-one to identify what makes sense for your skills, experience, and retirement plans. Our no-fluff, straight-talk approach makes the process clear and stress-free.
Your retirement is hard-earned, and the last thing you want is to gamble it on the wrong business. Pathway helps you explore franchises that fit your budget and financing options that keep your retirement savings intact. Whether it’s franchisor programs or SBA loans, we make sure your investment is smart and secure.
Retirement should be about flexibility, not trading one grind for another. We focus on finding franchises that align with your desired lifestyle—whether that’s semi-absentee ownership, flexible hours, or work you genuinely enjoy. With Pathway’s help, you’ll get the best of both worlds: meaningful work and plenty of time to enjoy your golden years.
