America's 75 million baby boomers have piled up more debt while holding less savings than generations before them, a mix that is crimping their hopes of a comfortable retirement. We’ve all heard the stories & chances are, we know someone that has been laid off or downsized in their mid 50’s facing little chance of every securing full time employment again. This coupled with their rising debt & dwindling savings is a recipe for disaster for many.

Franchise & Business Broker Bruce Violette says that many of his clients are turning to self-employment as their retirement plan. Bruce, who has a strong background in franchising & business start-up, franchised his own business in 2005 & built it to 35 locations in 16 states.

“I would say that retirement concerns is what drives many of my clients to make the jump from employment to small business ownership. Many of the rest might be financially able to retire, but they just aren’t ready to retire!“ says Bruce.

Bruce has developed a comprehensive program for evaluating his client’s strengths, weaknesses & transferable skills and then he matches them up with the ideal franchise or business opportunity to maximize their probability for success. Bruce represents over 500 franchise & business opportunities as well as existing businesses.

“One of today’s hottest trends today are home based businesses that feature low entry costs with very little monthly overhead. I also have access to attractive SBA backed business loans with competitive financing rates with minimal down payment needed. The SBA has greatly streamlined this program over the last few years and it is now a painless & very attractive alternative.” Says Bruce
