Are you looking to work-at-home or be your own boss, but you don’t know where to start? A home-based franchise might be the perfect self-employment opportunity for you.
I know, when you think of the word franchise you think Starbucks and McDonald’s – and you think BIG investment.
Well, I’m here to tell you, that’s not always the case.
In fact, there are many home-based franchises that are very affordable and many of them were launched by women just like you!
The nice thing about a franchise is that all the hard work has been done for you; you basically pay for the franchise and you’re given a detailed manual and tools on how to replicate the business exactly. Besides being a low-risk investment, another great perk of owning a franchise is that many franchises already have well-known established brands, so you spend less money on marketing and advertising.
