Top 10 Children’s Franchises (pt 2.)

This is part two of how you can help educate the little ones–and some older kids too–by opening a children’s franchise.

As mentioned previously, many parents have the desire to give their children a head start on life, and this head start typically starts before the child is born. Parents want their children to excel in school, and many high-school students are under tremendous pressure to get good grades so they will get accepted to the college of their choice. Many of these students need help in reaching their educational goals.

Consider a preschool franchise opportunity, and help impact a child’s life for the good. And don’t forget that physical fitness is even as important as any mental ability. Below is part two of the Top 10 Children Franchises as compiled by Entrepreneur.com:

#5 Goddard Systems Inc.

2008 Franchise 500 ranking: #132

Preschool/child-care center

Goddard School is a year-round educational facility for children from six weeks to six years old, and it includes after-school and summer programs for older elementary school students. Each school is a licensed childcare facility and staff members are trained in Early Childhood Education or Childhood Development. The owner is on site to take care of business tasks, while an Education Director focuses on the children and curriculum. As a full school, the startup costs for this franchise are significantly higher–about $645,000.

#6 The Little Gym

2008 Franchise 500 ranking: #145

Children’s development/fitness program

Created by a grade-school teacher with physical education, psychology and motor development degrees, The Little Gym offers programs for infants through age 12. Its non-competitive curriculum, which focuses on improving motor skills while also enhancing emotion, intellectual and social skills, includes karate, dance, cheerleading, gymnastics and sports skills. An educational background isn’t necessary, but strong people skills and a love for working with children are.

#7 Tutoring Club LLC

2008 Franchise 500 ranking: #154

Individualized instruction for K-12 students

Tutoring Club offers instruction for K-12 students on math, reading, writing, SAT/ACT prep and study skills with the guarantee that, after 32 hours of tutoring, the student’s skills will improve at least one full grade level. The company offers its franchisees TutorAid software that manages each student’s information, creating, monitoring and updating lesson plans daily.

#8 Primrose School Franchising Co.

2008 Franchise 500 ranking: #164

Educational child-care facility

With more than 180 preschools in the United States, Primrose focuses on a blend of "teacher-directed" education and "child-initiated" activities, where children explore their own interests through play and exploration. Many subjects are covered by this Balanced Learning blended curriculum, including language and literacy, physical health and development, math, science and technology, social studies and the creative arts.

# 9 Enopi-Daekyo North America Inc.

2008 Franchise 500 ranking: #179

Supplemental education

The Enopi supplementary education program provides students with workbooks, which they must complete with a perfect score to move on to the next workbook, allowing students to advance at their own pace. The center, which costs less than $100,000 to open, focuses on math, English and Korean.

# 10 Mathnasium Learning Centers

2008 Franchise 500 ranking: #197

Math learning center

A relative newcomer on the list, Mathnasium Learning Centers has been franchising since 2003. Mathnasium offers an after-school program where kids, from pre-K through high school, can boost their math skills. Members pay monthly and attend once or twice each week. The curriculum, developed by a teacher and math consultant, offers a time-tested, personalized program that uses diagnostics, instruction, worksheets, manipulatives and games to build math skills and encourage a love for the subject.

The top 10 children’s franchises list is complete. If you’re looking for a franchise business, and truly want to make an impact on your child’s life, why not stay home and educate your children yourself. There are plenty of low cost franchise businesses, and many have excellent track records. Or, you could try a franchise alternative like what the Home Business Marketing Group has to offer. There system is NOT a franchise business, although it has many of the same characteristics of a franchise business, without the monthly expenditures.

I do believe that the Home Business Marketing Group would make the top 10 franchises list, if they were a franchise business, but we’ll just have to keep that one to the imagination.

Franchise Business - 423 - Fri, 23 Apr 2010
Thinking about buying a franchise business? Well, now may be the right time, especially if you're looking to be in the restaurant business. Huddle House has announced its 2010 Development Incentive Program. For a limited time they are offering a franchise fee of only $5,000; that's a $20,000 savings. Huddle House is also giving new franchise owners five months without having to pay royalty fees.

So, if you're looking to open a restaurant, Huddle House might be the right franchise business for you.

Huddle House has been in business for more than 45 years. According to their web site, the "Huddle House foundation was created in 1964 as an answer to a simple need. High school football fans in the close-knit community of Decatur, Georgia needed a warm and inviting place to 'huddle-up' with family and friends after Friday night games. The idea took off, and one-by-one new communities gathered at their own Huddle House for delicious comfort food and southern-style hospitality." [1]

In their aggressive marketing campaign, the Huddle House is looking for "qualified franchisees throughout the Southeast, Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and Southwest for single and multi-unit development opportunities." If you fit the bill, this might be the perfect franchise business opportunity to come along in quite some time.

If you don't have the $5,000 needed to get started, maybe what you need is something similar to a franchise business, but without all the up front expense. Although there are a lot of similarities, there is an alternative to buying a franchise business, and that's with TriVita and their Sonoran Bloom Nopalea opportunity.

You now have a choice, put up thousands of dollars to get started, and pay royalty fees in six months, or pay very little to get started, and pay no royalty fees, ever. It's your choice!

To learn about the Huddle House, go to their web site. To learn about TriVita, click on the link below.

A New Franchise Business - 412 - Mon, 12 Apr 2010
With the rage being tanning, there is a new low-cost franchise business in the marketplace. For a measly $26,300 you could be in the tanning business with iBeach, the first and only 24 / 7 tanning franchise.

According to their web site, "the iBeach franchise is an ideal business opportunity for all types of investors. From the small business owner who wants the flexibly and freedom of being their own boss, to corporations that are looking for huge returns on their investments by partnering with a high-quality franchise system."

At iBeach, "their goal is to provide their franchisees with the best of both worlds. The ease of opening a new business by adapting to their business model, along with the flexibly and freedom to make decisions based on local variables or personal choices."

As an iBeach salon owner and franchisee, iBeach will provide you with training that should give you a significant business advantage. They will cover many things in their mandatory training program including but not limited to, a sales process designed to sell more tanning memberships, how to manage your time and handle the every day operations of a salon, and how to motivate and enhance performance from your employees. According to their franchise business information, iBeach "offers everything to help you become a more successful business owner."

Ok, it sounds like a great company, but who has $26,300 lying around to invest into a tanning business. The U.S. economy is in the dumpers and the first thing to go when things get bad are the non-necessary items, of which may include tanning, at least the indoor costly type.

There are other ways to start a lost-cost business without paying the high-cost franchise fee, and other hidden fees. I didn't see anywhere in iBeach's information area that the franchise fee would include an actual building with a signed lease. Is that a hidden cost, or will that come as part of what many franchisors don't like to refer to as their "hidden costs." If you are looking for a franchise business, make sure you find out everything. Get all of the details.

As of the writing of this article, there is only one current franchise business and that's located in Waite Park, MN. There are two others opening soon. Those two will be located in Minnesota. I mentioned this is a new franchise opportunity, so make sure you check out everything on the company and its principals before signing any contract. Good luck!

Home Based Franchise Solutions

While doing some research on Google about home based franchise businesses, I stumbled upon an article about the advantages of a home based franchise. In the article I have found that a lot of business professionals believe that anybody looking to invest in a business should look for a professional franchise business. As I read further, the writer was talking about professional home based franchise businesses.

The article was pretty exciting because I think the best thing anyone can do for themselves is start a home based business. Since I'm pretty passionate about franchises I was excited to read the article.

Why a Home-Based Franchise Business?

Prospects looking at home-based opportunities need to consider the number of advantages and not pay attention to the disadvantages. One should not only look at the investment cost as a basis for making a decision, but what type of ROI one can receive. These types of business opportunities (home-based) should be assessed as per the same criteria as other franchise businesses (non-home based). While this category does offer the least amount of franchise choices, a home-based franchise can be just as exciting and rewarding as any dynamic retail or fast-food enterprise.

My research on Google about home based franchises. For the most part of my research I have found that if your considering a home based business, your best bet is going with a home based franchise.

Franchise System for the Business Professional

I was reading some posts in a forum on the Internet about franchises, and which franchise systems seemed to be the most professional, the best, and the most affordable. I came across this one post and I had to reply to the writer. Below is an excerpt of my comments:

Lance, in your post, you mention that "the best categories for profitability seem to be service franchises, auto franchises and unique categories." I agree with that statement with one exception, finding qualified technicians. Finding skilled, well trained technicians, in the "information world" that seems to have enveloped us, is quite difficult. We all know that employees (especially skilled technicians) can make or break a business.

When spending money on a franchise system that could provide a professional business person with a nice income, I'm not sure service franchises, and/or auto franchises should be where the franchisee should spend their money. As a former auto/truck business owner of twenty-one years, I know how hard it is to find qualified technicians, one of the reasons I sold the business.

Although I did not own a franchise business, I was a sole-proprietor, I still know how fast the vehicles, machinery, and/or equipment is changing. So spending money on a franchise, and then finding individuals to repair the equipment, will not be an easy task, hence, my feeling about purchasing a franchise in the service industry.

I believe there is a better solution for business professionals looking for a franchise, a franchise where they do not have to spend their life savings. To learn more about an alternative to a franchise business that I'm talking about, go to a franchise solution.

Franchise - FAQ's

Franchises play an integral role in our lives and the American society in general. You're probably a frequent customer at the local Quizno's or Subway franchise. You may even know people who have found success through a franchise business. Perhaps you've even considered purchasing a franchise yourself. If so, you probably have some burning questions you haven't quite been able to find the answers for. You're not alone!

The current economy and society have brought new concerns to the surface about the franchise industry. Here are a couple of questions (along with my answers) that are asked quite frequently:

1. Should I own my own business before buying a franchise?

Some franchisers would prefer that you didn't, but I believe that it couldn't hurt. The franchisor's reason why they prefer you not to have had you own business is, because of bad habits that they'd have to spend time breaking, if your business was in the same industry. You'd have [management] styles that may not be compatible with theirs, and the normal and natural thing would be for you to always slip back into your comfort zone.

On the other hand, having experience working in any business gives you discipline. You understand how to work with customers, meet deadlines and take on responsibility as opposed to relying on your co-workers and your secretary in a big company. All in all, I would rather have someone who spent years in business, but it's a personal preference among franchisers.

Either way, a lot of franchisers realize that people who come out of training remember about 20 percent of it, and then they struggle for a while until they grasp the rest of it through practical experience in the [franchise] setting.

2. Would it be wise to cash out some equity from my house to invest in a franchise?

Given today's interest rates on home loans, I would say go for it. What do you have to loose? Franchises are modestly priced. Even though, I would be careful with any investment. However, there's really no difference between investing in a franchise and investing in a stock. If you invest in a stable, secure franchise (stock) with a great track record and good performance, there's not a lot of risk.

On the other hand, if you invest in a franchise based on a trend or fad, or one that you don't know a lot about and haven't done your research on, then I would say no. I wouldn't invest a dime. But remember, that's just an investment decision. Most people use the equity in their homes because it's usually their major asset and they can borrow against it. Make sure whatever you're investing in is a rational investment. One more piece of advise, do not jump into something just because the salesman sold you on it.

Choose a Professional Franchise Business for Your Second Job

Facing some expenses in the future? Need a new car? Do you have a son or daughter going off to college? Want a new house? If you're facing some future expenses, why not start your own business? That's what I would recommend before I went out to get a second job. WHY? You can make a lot more money owning a business than working for someone.

Typically, there are many reasons why people choose to take on the challenge and responsibility of a second job rather than start their own business. People rarely take on a second job for pleasure. However, many people considering a second job hardly ever think about other options, like starting a home business, or buying a professional franchise business. A home business or a professional franchise business offers three benefits that the typical second jobs does not.

The first benefit that a home business or professional franchise business offers, over most of the second jobs available, is flexibility. A home business or a franchise makes it easier to work around your primary job and family commitments. There are very few second jobs that offer the flexibility of a home business. A home business can literally be run when and where you like. In fact, you could even work your home business of franchise business during your lunch hour. Unlike a second job, it's easier to get time off for holidays and vacations when you're the boss.

The second benefit of a home business or professional business franchise is you get to choose what that business is. You can take advantage of your own interests, skills, and God given talents, which is not something most second jobs offer. The likelihood of finding a second job that fits your gifts and your schedule is probably somewhere between slim and not available. The Internet can be a tremendous resource of information on every imaginable franchise, home business, or topic of interest; just do a search on Google. I'm confident you can find your niche on Google!

Finally, a home business or professional franchise business offers on-the-job training. With a plethora of web conferencing systems, it's easy to get training from a variety of experts in any field. No matter what you decide, there is a wealth of information on the Internet. Go to Google, and do a search. It can help you find the right professional franchise business so you can make your second job, a home business, both profitable and rewarding.

Remember, if you're looking to make extra money, look for a professional franchise business, one you can work from the comforts of your own home.

A Low Cost Franchise Business

Owning a franchise business takes hard work. Are you up to putting forth the effort it takes? Owning a franchise business can also take a lot of money, although it doesn't have to. There are plenty of low cost franchise businesses available, just search Google.

Back to putting forth the effort, even if you decide on a low cost business franchise, you will still have to put forth the effort to make it work. Running a business takes time, and effort to become prosperous, but like I said before, it doesn't have to take your life savings. A low cost franchise business may be an option for you.

I've mentioned this before in my posts because not everyone has the money to purchase a McDonald's, Wendy's or Burger King. If you're like the majority of people, and you want to own a franchise business, take a look at a low cost franchise business. Go to Google, and type in, low cost franchise, and see what is available, you just may be surprised.

If you don't find what you are looking for, check out the information at low cost franchise business by clicking on the link. If you have any questions after checking it out, you can contact me for additional information. But remember, whether you choose a traditional franchise business, or a low cost franchise business, it still takes hard work to be prosperous. If you're up to the task, do your due-diligence.

A Franchise Solution holds a great reputation for the best online work at home franchise business information available on Google.

How to build an online Franchise Business Using a Virtual Conference Room

Online home based franchise business methods are continually changing on the net. Professional home based business owners are becoming aware of the new and advanced tools that are available to them. Many online franchisees are searching for these tools to enhance the overall productivity of any online franchise business. This post is an attempt to explain how you can use a virtual conference room to enhance your franchise business.

With today's cutting edge technology, online virtual conference rooms are a must for any small home based franchise business. The virtual conference room I'm talking about is a product of Vereconference, the highly effective web conferencing system that makes communications for the online franchise business simple. Individuals login to a room via a web address (URL) or link; this link will take them directly to the conference room. From there people will listen to the trainer speak about any subject concerning your business. There is no need to travel to other cities, or states to get the necessary training. All of the training can be conducted right on your PC, via the Internet.

VereConference's VoIP online conference room comes with a variety of tools, including recording features where you can save the training in MP3 format for later listening. The atmosphere of a virtual conference room promotes education at its finest. I use the virtual conference room everyday for communications with other possible franchisees, to share marketing strategies and other business ideas, and with customers, to share information about our products. Giving and receiving information is easy with a virtual conference room. Communication concerning your business is a must for any franchise business owner.

Virtual conference rooms can be used to train your executives or sales people anywhere in the world. Any subject can be taught in the rooms to improve your franchise business.

Franchise Solution - Get to Know the Franchisor

If you are at all serious about owning a franchise business, make sure you get to know the franchisor. Invest time in getting to know all there is about the franchisor. How did he/she get started? What made him/her decide on franchising their business? What's the history of the franchise? Learn all you can about the franchisor, by asking questions, listening, and taking notes.

For your franchise to prosper, you need to be happy with not only the industry you'll be working in but also the people you will be working with. Remember, you'll be promoting and/or selling their name, their brand. The investment will be your own, but the name belongs to the franchisor; you're paying to market their products and/or services.

After you gather your information about the franchisor, review it. Ask questions to yourself, like is this the person, the people, or the organization I want to invest my money with? Are they the ones I really want to work closely with? Remember, your franchise business is almost like a marriage, between you and franchisor. Be sure this is where you want to invest you time and money.

Franchises for Sale In Your Town?

Many people dream of being an entrepreneur. Purchasing franchises, where you can sell goods and services that have instant name recognition and where you can obtain training and ongoing support to help you succeed, is very popular in this day and age. As a result, over 94% of franchisees consider themselves successful, over 75% of franchisees would buy their franchise again if they had it to do over, and their average pre-tax gross income is $ 124,290. In addition, more than 90% of franchised businesses are still open after 5 years, while less than 50% of non-franchised businesses are still open at the end of that timeframe.

Are there franchises for sale near you that could possibly transform your life by creating a new income source and a sense of accomplishment? It’s possible!.

If you haven’t noticed, there are plenty of franchises for sale, all you have to do is look around. Who knows, there may even be franchises for sale in your own town. It’s very possible!

With all the different opportunities and alternatives available sometimes it’s difficult to figure out which one is best for you. The place to start, Google. After searching Google under "franchises for sale", you’ll want to do additional research on the company selling the franchise, the current owner of that franchise, and the franchisor. If you’re ready for a franchise business of your own, you must understand what it takes to become successful in business. It also helps to understand how to choose which franchise is right for you.

Just because you found several franchises for sale that may be right for you, it does not mean one of them is right for you. Do you have the support of your spouse and/or family? Do you know what you’re looking for in a franchise business? Do you have what it takes to run a business? Buying a franchise takes hard work and time to keep it successful (hopefully you’ll buy a franchise that is successful). Do you have the time and energy to put forth the effort to stay successful?

These are just a few questions you can ask yourself. I’m sure once you got started, many more questions will start to surface. Buy answering questions, you can also get a real and genuine idea of the type of franchise business you’re looking for. Take Wendy’s for example. Buying a Wendy’s franchise would take an exorbitant amount of money. How many people have a lot of cash sitting around that they would like to invest into a Wendy’s franchise? Currently, Wendy’s is not accepting any new franchise applications in the United States, so looking for Wendy’s franchises that are for sale would be the only way you could get a Wendy’s franchise.

On the other hand, Fatburger Restaurants has grown to a multi-restaurant chain with awesome growth potential. Starting with humble beginnings many years ago in the spotless kitchen of Ms. Lovie Yancey, her guests enjoyed her hamburgers so much that she was encouraged to share her unique recipe with the world. Ms. Yancey took their advice and opened her first restaurant in Los Angeles, in 1952.

Since there is awesome growth potential owning a Fatburger franchise, I believe you can either buy a new Fatburger franchise, or find some franchises for sale, maybe even in your own town. Whatever the case, there are plenty of franchises for sale. Wendy’s and Fatburger are just two of the thousands of franchises for sale.

If you believe that a franchise is the way to go, then start with Google and type in the keyword phrase, franchises for sale. You’ll find thousands of sites with information on a franchises for sale. You may even find franchises for sale in your own town.

Top 10 Children’s Franchises (pt 1.)

Now you can help educate the little ones–and some older kids, too–by opening a children’s franchise.

The desire by parents to give their children a head start on life typically starts before the child is born these days. Most parents want their children to do well in school, and high-school students are under tremendous pressure to get good grades so they can get into the college of their choice. And many of these students–from preschool through senior year–need help in reaching their educational goals.

If you’re looking to have an even bigger impact on children’s educational lives, you may want to consider preschool franchise opportunities. Physical fitness is even as important as any mental ability. There is one franchise that offers fun programs in physical education activities like karate, dance and gymnastics. Below is part one of the Top 10 Children Franchises as compiled by Entrepreneur.com:

#1 Kumon Math & Reading Centers

2008 Franchise 500 ranking: #18

Top 10 Franchises

In America, you can start your own business from scratch, by buying a franchise or choosing from thousands of franchises and business opportunities, in practically any field you want.

In fact, there are so many different opportunities and alternatives available that it’s sometimes difficult to figure out which is the best path to follow. Once you decide that you’re ready for business, you still need to understand the differences between franchises and business opportunities and how to choose which is right for you. So, are you better off buying a franchise?

In my opinion, YES! The reason I say that is because most franchise businesses already have systems set in place. Buying a franchise can be your best bet if you’re not good at generating business plans or marketing strategies. Buying a franchise can be your best bet if you’re not good at sales. Both of these areas are covered in most franchise businesses.

One of the tenets of a successful franchise system is that all units operate under a common brand and operating system. This is how a consumer knows a Big Mac will be the same in Ohio or California. A franchise system makes a concerted effort to ensure that every operator is doing things the same and every unit is supporting and reinforcing the brand.

A franchise typically has an ongoing commitment to support you over your entire tenure in the business. These support programs usually involve structured periodic contacts with dedicated support personnel for marketing, staff training, technology and virtually any other aspect of ongoing operations.

As a franchisee, you typically have a contractual commitment to pay the franchisor ongoing fees (royalties) in exchange for the continuing right to use the brand and operating system. These royalties also help the franchisor pay for the dedicated staff and programs they use to provide ongoing support to you. Royalties can be a fixed periodic amount or may be expressed as a percentage of your sales. Although this is the case with most franchises, it is not the case with the Home Business Marketing Group, and our franchise business system.

The final key difference between these two types of opportunities is related to the legal restrictions associated with the sale of the business to you. These typically involve complying with both federal and state laws and regulations in terms of required disclosures made to you during your investigation phase of the process.

In a franchise, these requirements are very stringent and center around a document called the Uniform Franchise Offering Circular (UFOC). This document contains a wealth of information about the company and the opportunity being offered, including the history of the operation and key employees, any litigation or bankruptcies, all fees and costs, all rules and restrictions related to the business operation and the audited financial statements of the franchise company.

There is no right answer in terms of which strategy is better–it completely depends on the business model and your philosophy about what you want to accomplish. A careful and thoughtful analysis of your personal goals for establishing a business should help steer you in the direction of the type of opportunity that is best for you.

As always, talk to a significant number of existing owners to hear their experience in detail before buying a franchise or biz opp. The time spent in your research of the opportunity is the most valuable investment you’ll make in ensuring your best chance for success.

The Home Business Marketing Group has an alternative to a franchise business that should fit your wants and needs. It will not cost you your life savings but yet can be very profitable in the long term. Buying a franchise business may be your dream or goal, but before you spend any money, take a look at what the Home Business Marketing Group has to offer; it will ensure long term success. Buying a franchise from some large corporation may not be the best for you. If you’re still looking for an alternative, the Home Business Marketing Group’s system will ensure long lasting training and support. Buying a franchise has its advantages, but does not guarantee success. On the other hand, the Home Business Marketing Group will ensure long lasting customers, which is a necessity for long term success.

The Home Business Marketing Group knows all about franchise businesses, search engine optimization, and the importance of customers. Come to the Home Business Marketing Group site to see if their alternative to a franchise business is right for you.
