Using their patent-pending "Key Palm Cutter" which allows the franchisee to work at home cutting carpet with pin-point precision, CSG is able to provide custom carpets with even the most intricate of designs. This unique product also makes a great work from home business allowing you the franchisee to transform a $200 carpet into a $2,000 piece of art to be installed in someone’s home. With no artistic experience required, their training and proprietary system will have you and your business up and running within 30 days and due to the "order as needed" inventory system, you’ll spend less money up front which means more profits sooner.

The total investment required is less than $40,000 and financing is available for the initial franchise fee, start-up equipment and vehicles to qualified candidates through ServiceMaster Acceptance Company, a subsidiary of The ServiceMaster Company.

Parents, it is 10pm. Do you know where your children are? Many of us are familiar with that phrase from local tv stations growing up.

Enter Guard-A-Kid Child Identification and Child Safety Products Franchises. Their ID kits contain two wallet-size printed ID’s, a large file-size ID, and most importantly a CDROM that contains all of the child's information in a digital format ready to be sent to law enforcement and the entire kit can be made on the spot at a Guard-A-Kid kiosk. The unique and important business has a high profit margin with the average cost of an ID kit coming in at around $4 and selling for $20. Guard-A-Kid also provides a wide variety of other products ranging from child tracking devices to internet safety products.

No medical experience is required to start your own Digicom franchise since Digicom provides a complete training program, which includes marketing, operations, accounting and technology training.
