1. Franchise Opportunities
Have you always wanted to own your own business? Many people have this dream but
don’t act on it due to a number of reasons. Starting a traditional business
takes a certain amount of monetary capital and other resources to get it up and
running in order to start making a profit. In addition to funds and whatnot you
have to have an idea for the business that is going to get you customers and
money coming in. One way to get past this is to consider buying into an already
established franchise that is associated with a nationally recognized name and
reputation. There are all types of franchise opportunities to choose from in
varying price ranges. Of course, if you are drawn to big names like Subway or a
famous hotel/motel resort chain, plan on spending a bit more to get in and
established.
If you don’t have a lot of cash to get started, that’s okay too. Budding
entrepreneurs can buy a franchise for as little as $7000. According to
Entrepreneur.com the top ten franchises for 2007 were one through ten, number
one is Subway, followed by Dunkin’ Donuts, Jackson-Hewitt Tax Service, 7-Eleven,
UPS Store and Mail Boxes Etc., Dominos Pizza, Jiffy Lube, Sonic Drive-In,
McDonald’s, and Papa John’s Pizza in the number ten position. This site also
