Franchises as Home Based Business Opportunities
There are numerous franchises that can provide home based business opportunities. The question is, is one of them right for you? When people hear the word franchise many often equate them as being synonymous with the terms distributorship or dealership. In fact while these terms do have similarities, there are major differences as well.
A franchise gives you exclusivity within a certain geographic range. Otherwise, the same company cannot turn around and offer another franchise within territory already contracted to you. Both dealerships and distributorships tend to have a somewhat looser interpretation. Otherwise entities such as Avon and Mary Kaye while providing home based business opportunities would not be considered to be franchises. Why? Because though the prospective seller is assigned territories, other representatives may still sell to friends and family living within that area or in offices where they work.
Some good examples of franchises would be: Wendy’s, Midas, and Popeyes’s Chicken. These types of franchises clearly would not qualify as home based business opportunities.
