Home Based (And Affordable) Franchise Opportunities

When we think of a franchise, it seems that the usual suspects automatically fill the mind, as the subway, Pizza Hut, and, of course, that "mcburger place. However, as a franchise consultant, many candidates, I talk about zero in this business model. Recently, the trend I see is one that offers flexibility, limited and controlled hours, and companies that offer a lot of time with your family. Oh, and something which does not need a million dollars in front. Home-based franchises are very popular nowadays. The question then becomes: is there really such franchises available that offer the highest?

The simple answer is "yes." There are many types of business opportunities in various categories. Once you have decided to pursue a franchise that is at home, you need to be very clear about the other factors that your company must have before they can actually choose the best for you, and my job is to help you clarify this.

Below is just a sample of the franchise companies that are at home.

Handyman and remodeling. As we all know, the housing market is not great now. Increasingly, owners are choosing to renovate or expand their homes, so if you know, participate in or passionate about construction and remodeling industry, there are several great opportunities in this area, you should considered. Some require extensive construction experience. However, with others, your role will be the sales and marketing, so that actual work is done by contractors working closely with you.

Direct Marketing. Perhaps you have a talent and a passion for marketing. You can start your own marketing consulting firm for your home office. Your role will be to help businesses succeed by providing integrated direct mail, online and mobile marketing solutions that help business owners target and retain more good customers.

Home Improvement. Perhaps you can benefit from sales presentations to homeowners seeking to replace their old carpeting or update their windows. The renovation market is enormous and continues to grow, with Americans spending more money on remodeling, renovation and decoration than ever. You can easily run this business from your home, using a specialized van as your "marketing showcase on wheels." In many cases, the franchise in this category requires little or no experience, a minimum of staff, and a ramp fast profit. Not to mention the weakness of investment obligations.

Pet Care. Do you like pets? Did you know that there are fantastic franchises animal that can operate from a home office, as a pet cleansing and grooming and dog training?

The car and tools. Maybe you're in auto mechanics or love. You can operate a mobile car detailing franchise, where you want to "home" at the request of local business professionals own cars. Or maybe you are familiar with tools such as Warren Buffet is investing. How a tool for business to business franchise market where you specialized tools to repair shops and automotive technicians.

You have the idea. There are many well-established franchise opportunities successful than responding to those who wish to pursue their activities in the comfort of their home office. A franchise consultant with expertise can help you identify the specific criteria you are looking for perfection in your company.
