Being a semi-absentee franchise owner oftentimes requires the same amount of capital, time and initial investments from a franchise owner to get the business up and running, but once it\u2019s operating the semi-absenteeism begins. Once this is achieved, semi-absentee franchise owners typically spend 10-20 hours per week working on the business.
