RETAIL OPPORTUNITIES

Just One More Franchise Opportunity
(that you probably didn't know you could own) 

Contrary to what you've heard, retail opportunities are NOT dead. Not if you invest in the right retail opportunity, that is. 

While it's true that Amazon is eating up retail opportunities like PacMan, there are still some safe-havens for the retail platform. One just has to know which products are PacMan...er...Amazon resistant. Most retail opportunities that have staying power are the ones that require a hands-on experience, or expertise in consulting before purchasing. Some products are simply not "online freindly", and most service industries require retail hours to be successful. Used clothing, or re-purposing clothing is such an industry. Health products and services like massages, beauty services are retail hour dependent. While inventory is part of the retail experience,the concept has changed dramatically. Many retail franchises have moved to the  'sample-then-order' model, where the store is an experience in service and the product is special ordered for the customer. Low inventory, specific inventory,  coupled with extraordinary personal attention is becoming the way retail thrives. Sure, there will always be the 'dollar store' experience, but there are lots of people who still want the high-end service for high-end products experience. 

Owning a retail franchise is often a semi-absentee ownership opportunity, which means you will be hiring a manager to manage the store, and will be paying a few employees F/T salaries and  several employees P/T hourly wages.

Your biggest asset, after choosing the product you provide will be the service you offer. You are creating experience, now, more than inventory.

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...

MOVING and RECYCLING

Just One More Franchise Opportunity
(that you probably didn't know you could own) 

I know this one will surprise you. Moving and Recycling touches everyone's lives. 

• Do you know of someone who has parents or grandparents who needs to downsize or is moving into a Senior-Care facility? They need a moving and recycling  service.  
• Do you know someone who is simply downsizing? They need a moving and recycling service. 
• Do you have large items you want to donate?  
• Do you have extra stuff that needs to go into storage? 
• Do you have a college student going or coming from their present digs? They need a moving and recycling service!  
• Do you get it? It's everywhere!

And now, every respectable moving franchise is in the business of recycling. The less that goes into a land-fill, the better for everyone. These franchises have agreements with local recycling, donation companies, etc to make it easy for them to care for the earth as well as their customers. 
Ever seen an episode of Hoarders? Then you know how much business there is for movers and recycle-rs.  But the local Joe-business can't do it as well a a franchised business. Professionals do it right, do it fast, and make more money.

As the franchisee of a Mover and Recycling franchise you manage the team, you network with all sorts of people, and you feel good the whole time as you take care of our planet as well as take care of our customers. 

What's involved? Wrapped moving vehicles, a team of 4 on each vehicle and high customer satisfaction service. If you are great with people of all ages, love to be a help to others and want to mentor a team of young adults, this is the franchise niche for you. 

Executive owners need apply- it's for those who want to build a steady, solid, community-service business.

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...

B2B Consulting

Just One More Franchise Opportunity
(that you probably didn't know you could own) 

B2B ( Business-to-Business) Consulting. You've been in corporate forever - you know how it works. Now you want to own your own business, but stay in that B2B niche. Why? Because that's where your circle of influence is. You've built up a strong reputation, you have name recognition and, you are really great with business people in the business environment. Can you own your own small business in and amongst the sharks? You bet! 
But
There's a trap. 
If you think you can be successful by just hanging a shingle outside your front door and be an independent consultant, know that you are 1 in a million, you are no different from the guy living right next door.  It's a tough row to hoe and 90% of these consultants have failed by year 5. Then, they are back looking for a J.O.B. with a 5 yr. gap in their resume. Not a good plan. 
But, if you hitch your skills to a name brand, a company that has been consulting with businesses for decades, and you train exclusively to bring their successful strategies to corporations, you'll be busy. You'll use your honed skill set and won't be wasting time designing your personal website, writing curriculum from scratch, making copies, or competing for the same business that your neighbor is pursuing.  If you claim to be a savvy, smart business leader, act like one! Make smart choices from the start.

As the franchisee of a B2B Consulting firm you'll be networking, meeting with corporate leaders. You could be  training corporate employees, consulting with the owners of small to medium business owners, leading seminars or doing one-on-one examination of a business owners' leadership practices. 

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...

B2B Cleaning Services

Just One More Franchise Opportunity
(that you probably didn't know you could own) 

B2B ( Business-to-Business) Cleaning Service Industry is one of the hidden gems that very few people think about, very few people notice, and even fewer consider to be something they'd follow through with. Why? Because cleaning toilets and replacing the soap in soap dispensers just isn't sexy....Or is it? 
This is one of THE BIGGEST moola-making franchise industries out there. If you are fortunate enough to land a territory (or two) in this industry, you can pat yourself on the back and watch your friends and family drool with envy. Not because you clean toilets-you don't- but because you have harnessed the glory of franchising so simply.  

As the franchisee of a B2B Corporate cleaning service your role is as the C-level executive. You never don a toilet brush. no. You get contracts-huge contracts. Your hire managers, you manage the mangers and  build your empire of corporate business buildings.  Repeat business, recessions can't touch this industry, low overhead, low inventory, high margins...this is IT

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...
