best franchise opportunities

A:There are actually a lot of industries that give you an incredible opportunity that do not require high wealth to start. Rather it would be successful to you or not is all on you and how you build your own business. Every person is different, every business operation in business is different. I've even see a McDonald's shut down in an area because the business was improperly managed and not bringing enough income to keep it going. Every business has an opportunity to make a sufficient income for the owner. The success depends on the owner and what they do. If your unfamiliar with how to build a business, then I suggest you get involved in an industry that has training programs and earn as you learn that industry and build your own business. Sure you can take business classes before starting if you'd like. But you can also take on the programs that different industries offer for building a business in that industry, and make the money while at it verses taking a general business class that doesn't focus on a particular industry. Each industry is different on how they're ran, what you do, and what not to do. There are thousands of industries that have these types of opportunities. Just take a look around. As far as 10 thousand, you don't need that much at all to start a home based business in an industry and run it out of your home. In fact, most home based business cost under $500 to start. You have the same income opportunity as any traditional business around, but without all the over head expenses and the same tax benefits as well.

A:I would guess, about 3,000. Franchising has experienced an expansion in 1970s and early 1980s, but then the growth began to slow down. In 1972, there were 909 franchisors in the U.S.; in 1986, 2,177; by 1995, the number increased to 2,618. There is a book called The Franchise Annual, which is published annually and contains data and profiles of all franchises operating in the U.S., Canada, and internationally. Ask your local public library if they have a copy (they most likely do).
