Passive Ownership: Semi- passive after 1 year
Passive Ownership means the owner is working 15 hours or less per week in the business.

Passive Ownership Explain: Conditions for Passive Ownership While Identity Coffee Co. is designed primarily as an owner-operated business, passive or semi-absentee ownership is possible under specific conditions. Franchisees who wish to operate passively must have a qualified, full-time general manager in place who has completed the brand’s full training program and demonstrates strong leadership and operational experience. The franchisee remains responsible for oversight of the business, financial management, and compliance with brand standards but may delegate day-to-day operations to their management team. To ensure consistent quality and performance, corporate support teams conduct regular site visits, operational reviews, and performance audits. Passive owners are expected to participate in ongoing communication with their manager and the franchisor, attend scheduled performance reviews, and remain actively involved in major business decisions such as staffing, marketing direction, and potential expansion. This model is best suited for multi-unit operators, experienced investors, or those with existing management infrastructure. While the franchise offers flexibility in ownership style, Identity Coffee Co. strongly recommends active engagement during the first 6–12 months of operation to establish strong systems, culture, and community presence before transitioning to a more hands-off role.
