To own a business does not mean you have to start one from scratch.

You can buy an existing computer repair business or a franchise. There are many successful computer repair businesses selling franchises.

One advantage of buying a franchise is that you buy into a business that is already established, has proven itself and has clients.

While businesses make money out of selling franchises, the idea behind such a move is to expand the reach of the business to accommodate the growing demand.

Buying a franchise is also advantageous because you do not have to do market research because the founder has already done that. You also always have a big brother to guide you to make the business successful. Because the umbrella business has the brand name and reputation to protect, it can't and won't let you fail.

You also get all the necessary training to make the venture a success.

Your success is also the umbrella business' success because you pay royalties for using their brand. This means that the chances of failure are very slim when you buy a franchise.

You also don't have to worry about buying any equipment because this is usually part of the package.

You also benefit from advertisements by the seller and you pay a minimum amount for that benefit. Most advertising is done by the franchise seller.

The Internet is the best source to find franchises. Type in the word "franchise" on a search engine like Google.
