Home-Based Franchises
By AllBusiness.com
When people hear the word "franchise," they tend to think of fast food
restaurants and gas stations. But there are all different kinds of franchises --
many of which can be run as home-based businesses.
We've listed some of the most popular home-based franchise opportunities
here. While this list isn't exhaustive, it includes tried-and-true, profitable
franchise ideas. As an extra incentive, these franchisor companies typically
provide training for their franchisees. Even if you do not have a skill in any
of these fields, if you are a quick learner, you have the potential to run a
successful home-based franchise.
Bookkeeping. Many bookkeeping companies are actively looking for new
franchisees to expand their operations. CFO Today and Padgett Business
Services are two such companies, and are two of the leading accounting
franchisers.
Computer repair. Are you the person friends and relatives call when
they have a computer problem? If so, then a computer repair franchise might be
perfect for you. For more information on opening a computer repair franchise,
check out Geeks on Call
and Rescuecom.
Cleaning. A cleaning franchise can make a perfect home-based business.
People always need cleaning help, and may be more apt to hire a cleaning company
whose name they recognize. CleanNet
and JaniKing are two of the largest franchisers in the cleaning
market.
Pet care or grooming. Animal
lovers can run pet care or grooming franchises from their homes without a great
deal of training. To learn more about starting your own business in this area,

Daycare.
