ACFN® is your “Part-time franchise for a full-time retirement”

Many of our franchisees say that the ability to start the business without interfering or interrupting current job was one of the main reasons they decided to join ACFN.

Our business model can be scaled to fit an individual’s specific situation allowing owners to grow at the pace which suits them. Franchisees join ACFN for different reasons and from various backgrounds.

Some join us after retiring from a lengthy career, while others are fresh out of college and eager to make additional income. Many are looking to compliment their existing income and others are looking to replace their current income. Whichever situation brings you to ACFN, our proven business model will work for you.
