Franchise Opportunities - No Experience Required

Many people think that because they didn’t go to college or have not worked for many years that their options for business ownership are very limited. However, that really isn’t the case at all. There are a lot of franchise opportunities available that do not require experience and they are perfect for individuals who have that entrepreneurial spirit, but just do not have the college degree or work experience. The following examples are just some of the franchise opportunities available that do not require experience.

Opportunity #1 Wacky Fun Factory Vending Franchise

This vending opportunity is wonderful for individuals who don’t have a college degree because it is easy to do, requires a small investment, and anyone can do it. The vending machines from Wacky Fun Factory are different than other machines so they are easy to locate and easy to operate. Making a good income with Wacky Fun Factory vending machines, whether you went to college or not, is entirely up to you!

Opportunity #2 Squeegee Squad Franchise

You can own a Squeegee Squad franchise with no college experience, but with plenty of real world experience. A Squeegee Squad requires no land, inventory or buildings and building the business is easy. Not to mention every day you work you get paid.

Opportunity #3 Pet Butler Franchise

This franchise is great for anybody who wants to be involved in the rapidly growing pet industry. Cleaning up pet waste is a growing industry and this franchise requires a total capital investment of $41,900 - $81,500 and liquid capital investment is $15,330 - $21,900. Third party financing is offered as well as training and support.

Opportunity #4 SeaMaster Cruises Franchise

This franchise is great for those without a college education but that are interested in the cruise industry. With a low capital investment of $9500 and training and support offered, individuals have the ability to take part in the popular cruise industry and make money from their home office.

These are just a few of the franchises available that don’t require extensive education or experience. There are a lot of them out there, many more than you might imagine. So, don’t think that just because you don’t have a formal education you can’t get ahead and buy a franchise, because you can!

Re: Info for would be franchisers... - [quote="Sebastien":1d29sdv1]Like Franchise Times, Franchise Update is a very practical magazine. There is no blah blah, just straight facts that anyone in the franchise community can relate to. I just want to mention that all these magazines are NOT franchisee oriented. I mean these magazines are for franchise professionals. If you're looking to buy a franchise, you won't find much information in there. To answer your question, getting published in Franchise Times was fairly easy. I don't want to brag too much but I think I am known in the franchise industry. I was the marketing guy at Franchise.com for a few years before joining my new company, the World Franchising Network. So people know me and I have a very good relationship with Nancy Weingartner, the Managing Editor at Franchise Times. I was talking with her at the last Franchise Expo South in Miami and she mentioned she'd like me to be profiled. I was like "ok, sure!". I like this franchise executive profile thing in Franchise Times as it is rarely BS. People are usually really natural in there.[/quote:1d29sdv1] Thanks for the follow up Sebastien! And I can't say that I'm surprised that networking with the right people and managing your relationships with them properly are the keys to being published. I guess the old adage holds true of "it's not who you know, but who knows you" that's important.
how much for a franchise fee? - Dear Colleague There is no easy answer to this question. Things to consider: [list=] The sizeof the Franchise Clent base Expected Turnover Intellectual Property costs (recoup) Number of Franchises Number of employees Original Set up costs Franchise admin costs An example: A franchise that I was involved in setting was to a simple "lawn mowing/home repair" franchise.

The annual franchise fee was $30,000. Hope that this gives you some idea Take care Ian[/list]
Re: Subject line Etiquette - [quote="jvprosperity":b50c4a20]Another email rant: Is there some place on the internet that outlines proper "Subject line" headings? There mus be a system out there that people use to be more efficient email senders. Not everything that comes into my mail box requires my immediate attention. I would love to educate myself and the people who send me emails on proper subject lines. Maybe something like: "Urgent Review: <<Title of document>>" "Decision Required: "<<Subject matter>>" just something for me to quickly scan the subject lines and decide which ones need my immediate attention. Anyone know of such email standards that exist out there?[/quote:b50c4a20] The only messages I get that say Urgent or Decision Required etc are spam. I tell people to put something relevant to their business with me in the subject line - this is especially important for the people who fall into my junk mail. Chris
Re: Franchise Surveys - Another good tool to researching a franchise is to speak with their existing franchisees. This contact information is included in most Franchise Disclosure Documents. In order to get a Franchise Disclosure Document or FDD as it is often referred to, you will have to complete a basic franchise application. The franchisor will then usually provide you with the FDD at that time. Included in that book of information is a list of the existing franchisees, the contract, the investment information etc... This information is required by Federal Law to be disclosed to your prior to making a purchase. So be sure to do your research and start with the Franchise Documents to get the initial information.
