Work From Home As A Small Business Consultant
Small business opportunities, like almost everything else in life, are often misunderstood, and generally it’s the word small that causes the misunderstanding. People often equate business size with income potential, which is a tragic mistake, like underestimating the legendary French emperor Napoleon just because he was short. In reality, a small business in the right field can actually prove to be very profitable, because it combines low overhead costs with a high return. And few provide a higher general return than franchises in the business consulting sector.
Getting to work from home, small business consultants don’t have to worry about the costs generally associated with being involved in bigger business. Likewise, because consulting franchisees deal in ideas, not products, there is no cost of production, though there are some prices to be paid for advertising. In spite of the low costs of operation, however, these smaller, franchised consultants aren’t kept from working with larger companies that have the finances to pay well. With that high income and low outflow in mind, there are a number of good consulting business opportunities, and here are just a few.
WSI Internet
Entrepreneur Magazine’s #1 Computer and Internet Franchise for 7 years running, there is no doubt that this is one of the most well respected and profitable businesses around. Franchisees come in with little or no experience in the industry and, after a great deal of exceptional training in the internet marketing industry, they become well versed in all it takes for their clients to most effectively utilize internet resources to put their small and mid-sized businesses in the public eye. With a central staff of web developers behind them, franchisees merely have to direct their clientele in what is the best way to go and then reap the benefits of client success.
Estrada Strategies
This 9-year-old coaching business has developed business methods and executive coaching strategies that anyone can put to use for profit with only a few prerequisites. If you’ve been a business consultant, a business owner, or an executive with profit and loss responsibility, you are readily qualified to join Estrada Strategies, even if you don’t have specific knowledge of every industry in your area: they can teach you whatever else you need to know to operate this turnkey opportunity. With an initial one week of intensive training, ongoing field support, pre-made curriculum, and one-on-one support from an Estrada Strategies corporate officer, it’s hard to not succeed in this franchise opportunity.
The Growth Coach
Another master in the business coaching market, The Growth Coach approaches the work from a slightly different angle, seeking to help executives succeed not only in business, as business people, but in life, as human beings. Their 20-year-old principle is that helping a man balance his life will inevitable have a positive impact on his business and profitability, and to date, it holds true. Work at home franchisees with this franchise business are concerned primarily with helping people, not just making money. The basic format of business is the quarterly coaching and accountability meeting with clients, but for franchisees who want it, there is also the option for regular one-on-one coaching.
CEO Focus
For an initial fee of only $25,000, the CEO Focus franchisee is put in a position to make an outrageous profit, helping up to 50 different clients in a given month. Facilitating group meetings and providing one-on-one counseling, franchisees are not as much interested in changing the ideas of their clients, but providing wisdom and accountability to help change practices that may not line up with the best laid plans. The purpose of what the franchisee does is not to take a failing business and turn it from bankruptcy, but to take a business that is already prospering and push it even closer to its full potential.
Global Broker System
On a different note, this home based business specializes in providing finance solutions to business clients within a given territory. As the middleman, Global Broker System home business owners connect clients with financing needs to the lenders who can make those needs come to life. Whether the need is an equipment lease, a working capital loan, an accounts receivable loan, or a wide variety of other monetary services, Global Broker System franchisees make it happen. The franchisor is ready and able to teach franchisees all they need to know about initiating, operating, and marketing their businesses, and all without any kind of ongoing fees. After the initial purchase price, there is nothing more to pay, and everything to gain.
Working from home is a great way to turn a profit with far less cost than the average career, and business consulting is one of the most rewarding categories of home based opportunities. Obviously, the rewards come by way of monetary remuneration, because the franchisee deals with industry leaders who are already successful and looking to be even more so. But the rewards from working in this industry are also personal. The greatest joy for a truly gifted consultant is watching his clients succeed, and if that is what stirs your interest in this field, it may be a good indicator that this business really is for you.
