5 Great SBA Registry Franchises

Written by: Candice Clem

Article Overview: Finding a franchise that fits you perfectly is good, but finding one that fits you perfectly and has been signed off on by the SBA is great. What's the SBA you ask? Read on and find out the details on the SBA and why your next franchise should be on the SBA registry.

5 Great SBA Registry Franchises

The SBA franchise registry is great news for franchisors and potential franchisees alike. Not only does this registry provide a place for franchisors to be listed as trusted businesses that have undergone the scrutiny required by the SBA, but it also provides a place for prospective franchisees to find trusted franchisees and get a streamlined pathway to an SBA small business loan. Whether you’re interested in a home business franchise or a brick and mortar retail business franchise, the SBA registry is a great place to start and a great place to find funding once you make your choice. Here’s a quick look at 7 things you should know about the SBA registry and its franchises.

1. Checkers Drive-In Restaurants
One of the last remaining examples of the great American drive-in restaurant, Checkers Drive-In Restaurants provide great food and fast service for the customers as well as a strong business model and quick cash flow for the franchisor. If you love a good burger and would love to open a restaurant in your town that’s a welcome change from the usual fast-food joint, Checkers Drive-In Restaurants may be right up your alley.

2. FiltaFry
One thing that all fast-food restaurants (as well as many others) have in common is the use of deep-fryers to cook everything from French-fries to chicken burgers. Like any piece of kitchen equipment, these fryers need to be cleaned thoroughly every so often, but unlike most pieces of kitchen equipment, cleaning a deep fryer is a pretty complicated and messy job. Fortunately, FiltaFry provides a great method for cleaning deep fryers, all contained in a portable company van. In addition to their niche-market advantage, FiltaFry franchisees will also benefit from plenty of repeat business, because as long as American love French frys, FiltaFry franchisees will have business.

3. AAMCO Transmissions Inc.
One thing that every car has in common is that sooner or later it breaks down, and when it comes to repairing and replacing transmissions, no one is better know and has a longer track record than AAMCO Transmissions Inc. With locations all over the country, you’ll benefit from the name recognition that very few auto repair centers have and with the decades of success and hundreds of successful franchises currently in operation, you’ll never encounter a problem that the AAMCO Transmissions Inc. team hasn’t heard and figured out how to solve.

4. Tint World
The ever increasing trend of window tinting is about more than just making your car look cool, window tinting can also keep your car cooler in the summer and make driving a lot safer when driving in bright sunlight. Properly applying window tint is nearly impossible for someone with no experience, so many people will gladly pay to have their window tint applied by a professional, and Tint World is one of the best in the business. Taking tinting a step beyond cars, Tint World also offers premium tinting for homes and businesses which equates to more sources of income for the franchisee and more repeat business and plenty of new leads generated by referrals.

5. Saladworks
Although a burger or pizza now and then is fine, many Americans eat unhealthy food too often. Saladworks is setting out to offer a healthy alternative to fast-food and typical big-portion restaurants by offering tasty, healthy salads such as the popular "turkey club." Voted the number one salad franchise in the country, Saladworks is breaking new ground and starting a new style of casual dining restaurant that is sure to catch on nationwide; and as a franchisee you’ll profit from this tasty restaurant while also inspiring health living and smart dietary choices among your patrons.

Selecting the perfect franchise for you can often be a tough choice, but having a resource like the SBA registry makes that choice a lot easier. Take a closer look at these seven as well as any of the other choices on the SBA registry and take comfort in knowing that each one has been closely inspected and proven successful, reliable and safe. When you do make your choice, take advantage of the fast-tracked SBA loan application process available exclusively to SBA registry franchises and you’ll be on your way to owning and operating a successful franchise business in no time.

franchisebrief.com good clean design - I actually really like the design - it's clean and not busy. The information is easy to find.
