Great Small Business Franchises For The Skilled Administrator
Most small business franchises are designed for an owner who excels at some kind of management, but from business to business, what that looks like can vary a great deal. In many cases, the kind of manager that a franchise needs is one who can administrate well, balancing a dozen different corners of the business at the same time: balancing the books, managing driver routes, keeping tabs on important paperwork, and tracking projects that employees are on. If you’re a skilled juggler of administrative tasks, here are a few business opportunities that will put your talents to use.
Property Management Inc
Property management is one of the most solid business industries in the nation, constantly expanding in spite of economic sways for the good or the bad. Possibly the epitome of an administrative business, property management is all about balancing property maintenance, financial work and reporting, compliance with client and government demands, leasing, and real estate brokering for as many pieces of property as a person can handle. Hours and days are spent alone, or with a small staff, merely ensuring that all the plates are still spinning. Of course, with a solid franchisor, Property Management Inc franchise business owners are never left to fend for themselves, being trained and supported from start to finish.
Cruise Planners LLC
The fastest-growing segment of the travel industry, cruising is one of the most lucrative and, ironically, least saturated businesses available, because only 15% of the American population has taken the opportunity to cruise so far. Franchisees with this business benefit from the highest commission in the industry just for doing what they love to do, serving clients by planning exciting vacations. This is the franchise opportunity for the administration-minded entrepreneur who can remain friendly while juggling client wishes in person, over the phone, and on the web, constructing and orchestrating vacation plans for multiple clients simultaneously.
Doody Calls
63% of America has pets, which translates to 71 million households with some kind of animal. Roughly half of those are dogs, and as everyone knows, dogs leave messes behind: messes that most of us don’t like to clean up. This small business picks up where clients don’t want to, making money by scooping poop on scheduled routes. Instead of being responsible for the scooping himself, the franchisee sends employees to attend to that for him, freeing him up to manage scoop routes, maintain relationships with clients, expand the marketing system, and take care of finances. Others scoop the doo literally while he does it figuratively.
Kids’ Nite Out Across America
Working in collaboration with nearby schools, clubs, recreation centers, YMCAs, JCCs, and churches, the owners of these franchises serve primarily as party planners, putting together all the necessary building blocks to produce a fun and safe night for neighborhood kids. Basketball, scooter hockey, lacrosse, bounce houses, human slingshots, and dances are all a load of fun for the kids, but require a great amount of planning and organizing on the part of the franchisee. Even though all the necessary training is given to the work at home businessperson from the outset, it takes the natural ability of an event-planning administrator to make it all happen.
Home Helpers
Much of the administrative talent needed in this career is applied in the management of people. In response to the growing demand for in-home, non-medical assistance for the elderly and ill, Home Helpers has developed a system by which a home based business owner can hire trained in-home care staff and send them to assist clients in their homes. The owner attends to the technicalities of business operation and orchestrates the schedules for his employees, leaving the in-home duty to his employees.
Fast Teks
As a Fast Teks franchisee, behind-the-scenes oversight and business administration are primarily what an entrepreneur is responsible for. Unlike some computer repair franchises that give a turnkey package to get the franchisee out in the field, repairing and upgrading computer equipment, this franchise business comes equipped with field technicians provided by the corporation. The franchisee doesn’t have to have any experience in computers, and most don’t. Technicians show up to residential and small commercial clients to solve any variety of problems ranging from modem setup and spyware removal to software support and data backup. Marketing systems are put in place by the central headquarters, franchisee support is only a phone call away, and a customer call center directs incoming client calls to each local franchise, so the franchisee’s responsibility is simple: balance everything going on and keep the business growing.
Often the term administration is used more in reference to office attendants, clerks, and secretaries, but that doesn’t mean that the skill is one restricted to the lower levels of business life. Quite to the contrary, the right person with the right administrative gifting can often make a very good business owner when matched to the correct small business franchise. If you feel that your talents match the administrative needs of any of these franchises, inquire of them for further information. You may have found the business opportunity for you.
