Travel The World With 8 Hot International Franchises

Travel The World With 8 Hot International Franchises

One of the things that bother people most in life is that they can sometimes feel geographically trapped by their job. Having always worked in the same place and knowing nothing outside their hometown, they feel as though the availability to travel the world is lost to them, because getting up and going would be the end of a career which they have worked 20 years to build. That, however, is more an ill-informed misconception than an actual fact of life; getting up and moving to France is very much in the realm of possibility for someone with the drive to succeed and a bit of adventurism. Though established businesses are fairly stationary, international franchises are travel-ready, capable of going almost anywhere on the globe, so if you’ve always dreamed of owning a pretzel shop in Germany, don’t give up hope, because your opportunity may be right around the corner.

And, in fact, if a pretzel shop is your dream, you may not have to wait very long at all, because Mr. Pretzels is one of a handful of food franchises with international expansion in the plan. So far, the Mr. Pretzels kiosk has found its way to Dubai, London, Sao Paulo, Santiago, and Caracas, among a host of other global locations. Wherever an international franchise pops up on the map, the franchisee remains connected to all the aid that a domestic partner gets. Location-purchasing help, building layout assistance, extensive initial training, and ongoing marketing support are all provided to every franchisee around the world.

Carl’s Jr. is another great franchise ready to jump international borders to bring the great taste of the classic American hamburger to foreign taste buds. The first fast food restaurant to introduce sit-down quality, 100% Angus beef "six-dollar burgers" to the fast food world, this business is built to succeed. The initial franchise investment with this business totals $1.1ml, yet the business model is so strong that whatever nation you set up shop in, you can count on starting a business positioned for long-term success.

Food isn’t the only viable business for the internationally minded, though; the hotel market is another great option. One of the many benefits of starting a hotel franchise in a foreign place is that selecting the general location is pretty easy, because, most likely, if you want to spend your vacation time there, so will others. Whether that winning locale is in the Alps or Acapulco, there is then only the matter of finding the hotel chain that will best suite your goals, and three great choices are Country Hearth Inns, Wingate by Wyndham, and Baymont Inns & Suites. Country Hearth Inns’s goal in everything they do as a franchisor is to serve their franchisees, as well as to have the franchisees in communication with each other as well. This hospitable mindset trickles down to the guests, who receive a combination of modern convenience and excellent service that is truly southern hospitality. Wingate by Wyndham and Baymont Inns & Suites both put you in line with the Wyndham Hotel Group, an association that covers 10 hotel brands and 6,500 hotels on 6 continents. Currently, Wingate by Wyndham only has franchises in the US and Canada, but with a knowledgeable group like Wyndham behind you to help you find the right location, construct a building, or even restore an old hotel, and get an unmatched business up and running, there is no telling where in the world you could go with either of these hotel brands. Hotels aren’t cheap, but there are few franchise opportunities that can be as profitable for the right hospitality-minded, bold entrepreneur.

Not all international-ready business opportunities are on such a large scale as restaurants and hotels, however. If your great desire to start a franchise is a foreign land is not matched by the great depth of your pockets, there are smaller, home based businesses ready to travel the world with you as well.

With only a $20,000 initial investment required, Breathtesters USA is one such work at home opportunity, which sells pay-per-use, wall-mounted breathalyzers to pubs and bars. As of yet, they have only started to make their mark in the United States, but the concept has been tested and proven successful in Europe and Canada as well. Whatever country you want to take this business to, though, it is most likely to be received well, because, with the exception of dry countries, alcohol consumption is one of those rare things that knows no national or cultural bounds, so your service is useful wherever it goes.

Another universal product that is ready to travel the world with you is Snap-On Tools. As the owner of a mobile franchise with this company, you become one of 11,600 people working in 130 countries to deliver the highest quality tools on earth to the professionals who use them. Unlike many other international franchises, this brand is already so well-known on a global scale that your work of selling is largely done for you wherever you decide to root yourself. There is no stock to carry, no location to purchase, and little overhead, making it a simple business to start and maintain.

Finally, because the need for safety is a global issue as well, Sure Step is the service industry home based business for an international franchisee. Equipped with the latest in chemical ground coatings designed to make floor surfaces less slippery when wet, Sure Step franchisees service local stores and businesses that have restrooms that need to be made water-safe. It is a very low-cost operation, and it is useful in almost any nation.

If you’re tired of the same location you’ve spent your whole life in, give serious thought to the possibility of branching out in your own business while simultaneously moving to a new nation. There are few reasonable opportunities to do such a thing, but international franchising is one of the best, and it’s an opportunity not to be overlooked.
