Franchising in the Second Half of Life: Revitalise Your Career
Why 50+ professionals make excellent franchisees

Over-50s: skills the market still needs
Looking to leverage your decades of hard-earned experience into a new chapter? The franchise world could be your ideal platform. For seasoned professionals who have spent years building careers, managing projects, and solving real-world problems, franchise ownership offers a chance to put those talents to work for yourself—backed by an established brand.
Early retirement packages don’t mean you’re “done.” Decades of leadership, customer service, budgeting, and people management are rocket fuel in an owner-operator setting.
Owner-operators at this stage win
You’ve got the experience to lead a team and the financial discipline to run tight operations. You also understand risk—and how to mitigate it with a proven format and dependable suppliers. You also gained wisdom in dealing with people. All of these factors contribute to the potential of franchise success.
Why Universal Paints suits a building sector background
If you’ve worked as a contractor, QS, estimator, project manager, rep, or architect, you already “speak the language”: specs, surfaces, timelines, and trade relationships. That knowledge converts quickly into B2B accounts and upselling complete coating systems.
Training available
Expect on-boarding on:
- Product and surface preparation fundamentals
- Tinting and colour systems
- Trade account setup and credit policies
- Store operations, merchandising, and local marketing
