TopNewFranchises.com is Looking for Innovative Franchise Opportunities
When the going gets tough, the tough get innovative.
During an economic downturn, corporate refugees and newly-laid off professionals are looking for new opportunities to maximize their energy, ambition, talent and, in many cases, severance packages. Many will look to franchise ownership as a way to have greater control over their own careers and build a successful business.
At the same time, successful business owners will look to franchising as an efficient way to expand their established and successful businesses. These new franchisors will share their expertise, systems, procedures, training, trademarks and ongoing support programs with individuals looking to own their own businesses in exchange (generally) for an upfront franchise fee and an ongoing percentage of gross sales. With the right combination of franchisor and franchisee, and franchise concept, franchising can provide the ultimate win-win relationship.
TopNewFranchises.com is searching for the best of the new and emerging franchise concepts to highlight and promote throughout 2009. If you know of a great new (franchised within the last 5 years) franchise or license opportunity, or an innovative small or regional franchise company (fewer than 50 locations), please nominate them by sending an email with contact info and/or company website to info[at]topnewfranchises.com. Self-nominations are encouraged.
Here are some of the new concepts that have been nominated or mentioned so far:
