Specialty Foods

 
Another franchise opportunity
(that you probably didn't know you could own)

Everyone knows about this category: ice cream, frozen yogurt, hot dogs, nuts, smoothies, pretzels, fries, coffee, you name it. Wherever there are people, there needs to be great food. But did you know that depending on the type of specialty food you specialize in,  you can choose from a brick and mortar stand-alone to a kiosk to a food truck to mobile cart? That's right. You choose how big you want to go. You choose how quickly you want to scale up to more than one unit. ( you could eventually end up with 20 food carts bringing in $50 every ten minutes. Think about that for a second...$$$$$$, ka-ching....

You choose how many moving parts you want to deal with (a brick and mortar stand-alone has a lot more moving parts than a cart). The fun in specialty food is that you sell one kind of food, and that particular food is hot, hot, hot in terms of popularity. With mobile specialty food you can choose what events to attend: football, concerts, school events, fairs, conventions. You are as busy as you like and can close up shop whenever you want to take some time off. (or hire someone to cover for you)

As the executive owner your job is to keep the wheels turning. Hire employees,  manage the supplies, marketing, host events, sponsor teams, get exposure and bring people to your place of business. Make our specialty food business fun, exciting and the hottest thing in town. This is a fabulous way to participate in your community, host charity events and bring people together. 

  

It's not rocket science to own your own business. It's just different from the masses. A great business isn't for everyone, but it might be for you...

Staffing Industry

 

With the high turn-over rate of employees, and the uncertainty of job stability, staffing companies are on the rise. The great news is that the great ones that are already established are growing by leaps and bounds, so you don't have to re-invent the wheel to get immediate traction in this industry. This is another feel-good franchise that brings together those who are looking for employment and those who need to hire employees. As the middle-man, your franchise screens and places people in the right job. Some are temporary, some are permanent, some are executive placements.

As the executive owner your job would be to network, manage the manager of your office staff, and mange the over-arching business. You'll meet wit small to medium business owners, and yes, some big name businesses as well, to asses what kind of staff they need. People and businesses are constantly having employee turnover, so there's repeat business as well as new business. 

You'll need a brick and mortar office that is able to scale UP, UP, UP.  You'll start with a few full-time staff (3-5). 

If you've been in HR, if you've been an executive, if you have connections with your community businesses, this is a great niche for you to move into very smoothly. You have to like people with a strong emotional IQ, be a good problem solver, be a positive culture creator, and you must be comfortable networking.

Urgent Care Franchise

 

There aren't many of these that will be going up, and they are very pricey, but Urgent Care Franchises are becoming more prevalent as people are opting out of going to the hospital for minor injuries or services. Some physicians prefer to leave their individual practice and go this route, or add this to their portfolio. Some RN's are joining together and investing in these because they want their lives back, still want to be involved in health care, but want to make a much higher income while putting in more reasonable hours. Scrapes, cuts, burns, falls, breaks, flue, the sniffles and throw-ups, all the little things that don't require hospitalization and are not routine check-ups are for this niche market.  It's a high investment because of equipment, professional staffing and insurance.

As the executive owner your job would be to network, manage your doctor and nursing staff, and manage the business of profit and loss. Most of these franchise owners hire a General Manager to run things because there are a lot of moving parts. But if you love the industry and you want to contribute to your community in meaningful ways, this is a great model for you.

Another franchise opportunity
(that you probably didn't know you could own): 

Emergency Clean-Up

 

Emergency clean up covers everything from natural disasters (hurricanes, fire, flood, earthquake) to office and home mishaps (did your sprinklers go off again? someone set of the smoke alarm? electrical fire?  did the sump pump fail you? and the ever-evil and invisible MOLD and MILDEW culprits )  The franchises that work in this industry are busy all-the-time, so don't think your business is only functioning during horrible weather. Any home that comes down with mold or mildew, basement flooding, roof leak- they all need your services. But when there is a natural disaster, and they do occur, then ALL the different franchises in this industry are slammed, so don't worry about competition. 

As the executive owner your job would be to network, meet with insurance companies, bankers - those people who sell the insurance coverage, individual home-owners and business owners, realtors, home improvement business owners, you'll be going to events that support your local community, managing and scheduling your team, and marketing your business. Investment includes equipment, vans (possibly wrapped), software, and Search engine marketing (usually provided by the franchisor)

If you like to be the rescue hero, are good with people who are in a bit of a panic, great with insurance agents and a strong team builder and leader, this could be the right fit for you.

Another franchise opportunity
(that you probably didn't know you could own): 

K-12 , Adult, Veteran, Tutoring

 

Kids need academic help these days and you might be the perfect one to provide it. 

Teachers! tired of the politics, low pay, union lock step, paper grading, meetings,meetings, meetings and early morning bad coffee, and the haunting wonder if you are making the kind of difference you aspired to when you first chose the profession of shaping young minds? Tutoring  reaches individuals where they need the help. Reading, SATs, math, filling in the learning gaps so a child can truly thrive at school. 

There's a huge demand as well for GED and advanced tutoring for our Veterans who have served our country and now want to pick up on their education where they may have left off. 

As the executive owner your job would be to network, meet with principals, PTA, create marketing events, support your local community, manage and schedule your teachers, create curriculum (or tweak the established curriculum), and grow the clientele. 

Parents are desperate for the right kind of help for their child. Teachers are yearning to work with children and make a real difference without the headache of public school restrictions. You can help parents, their children, part-time teachers, all while making  a better income than you would as a public school teacher. 

 Many tutoring franchise models are home based. You'll schedule tutoring sessions at clients' homes or libraries. Some are brick and mortar. It depends on what you want your business to be. 

After school hours, Saturdays. 3 or more employees.  Very scalable. The more P/T teachers you have, the more students you can take on. 

You don't have to be a teacher at all - you might just care about kids and their education. Great communication skills are required. 

It's not rocket science to own your own business. It's just different from the masses. A great business isn't for everyone, but it might be for you...

School and after school hours, Saturdays. 3 or more employees.  
You don't have to be an artist, but you do need to love children, parents and your teaching crew.
