Written by: Candice Clem

Article Overview: Choosing the right home based business can often be rather tricky. It involves a lot of factors ranging from your prior business experience to your current financial position; even where you live. It iss that last concern (where you live) that can often be forgotten as you browse the listings of franchise options. Even though everyone knows that location has a huge impact on how a business runs, not everyone considers that instead of choosing a location based on the business, it is just as possible to choose a business based on your location. If you happily live in the suburbs of America and would like to run your business right where you live, here are a few great business opportunities that are perfect for the suburbanite.

Great Work From Home Business Opportunities For The Suburbanite

Choosing the right home based business can often be rather tricky. It involves a lot of factors ranging from your prior business experience to your current financial position; even where you live. It is that last concern (where you live) that can often be forgotten as you browse the listings of franchise options. Even though everyone knows that location has a huge impact on how a business runs, not everyone considers that instead of choosing a location based on the business, it is just as possible to choose a business based on your location. If you happily live in the suburbs of America and would like to run your business right where you live, here are a few great business opportunities that are perfect for the suburbanite.

There are a few elements of suburban life that any business-savvy suburbanite can count on, and one of the most basic is children; people in suburbs generally have kids, and kids require care. If you want to work at home and be able to address a real need that neighborhood parents often have, a Nanny Poppinz franchise may be the right choice for you. Serving as consultants, franchisees with this business do the hard work of matching local clients with nannies, babysitters, housekeepers, tutors, and drivers to help them and their kids. Franchisees get the necessary training, support, and marketing material to make the business a success, so there is no previous experience necessary.

Aside from kids, suburban life is also marked by homeownership, and owning a home means regular upkeep: the yard, the exterior of the house, and the living space. As anyone with a house knows, these chores can be a real time consumer, and it is not uncommon for homeowners to hire other people to do at least one of those tasks for them on a regular basis. For that reason, starting a home service franchise is a great idea for the suburbanite businessman, and Weed Man is a great place to start looking. The largest lawn care business in the world, Weed Man’s success has spread across the US, Canada, and the UK. For a relatively low startup cost, franchisees get the name known around the world, access to lawn treatments and business practices that have had 40 years of refinement, and continued mentoring from a skilled franchisor.

For the inside of the home, however, The Maids Home Services is the business to go with. With 30 years in the field, this business has had plenty of time to perfect its business methods and marketing strategies, which is precisely why Entrepreneur Magazine considers it the #1 cleaning franchise. A great perk with this company is that when you get this mobile franchise up and running efficiently in your immediate area, there is the option to expand your territory further, impacting more suburban neighborhoods and more homes.

Not all homeowners need cleaning services though; some simply need a handyman to come and patch that big hole that Dad accidentally put in the drywall last week. If you are a natural networker interested in a work from home opportunity, Tradesmen Bids is the franchise that can make it happen for you. After receiving expert training for all the ins and outs of linking with building contractors and handymen in your area, you generate local job leads and connect the right skilled tradesmen to clients who need their services. There are multiple streams of income; you have constant support from the franchisor whenever you need it; and, best of all, repair, remodel, and construction are always needed in suburbia. Whether inside or out, homes are always in need of work, and homes are what the suburbs are built on.

While on the subject of homes, there is another aspect of housing which is key to suburban life: the selling and purchasing of homes. No home purchase is complete without a full building inspection, which is exactly why Inspect-It 1st is such a good choice for a suburban business. For a very low startup cost, franchisees with this business service franchise receive 2 weeks of intensive training to verse them in the business of inspecting homes, ongoing support and business reviews, a laptop and necessary programs, and operations manuals. The best part is that owners are not responsible for anything more than general inspections to determine if specialist inspection is needed, so there is no experience needed.

When April 15th rolls around, everyone in town needs tax help, so being the only Liberty Tax Service tax-preparer is a good plan. All your fellow suburbanites will flock to your business for expertise in an area that scares many Americans every year. This turnkey business was founded by a man who began his career with H&R Block and has built a system that anyone with an entrepreneurial spirit can learn from.

Finally, when summer rolls around and the whole neighborhood just wants to get out of town, being the only Cruise Planners LLC vacation expert in town will quickly help you to turn a profit. Ranked #1 in their industry by Entrepreneur since 2004, Cruise Planners LLC gives franchisees all the tools necessary to get into a business with one of the highest commission rates in the travel industry. Have fun getting people to their ideal cruise vacations while also turning a huge profit from the comfort of your own home.

Suburbia can often be one of the wealthiest sectors of the American populace, and if you already live there, there is no reason not to make your living from it. Working from home can easily pay off, both for you and for the clients that you serve, even if they only live a few blocks away.
