A Six-figure income is\u00a0<b>definitely\u00a0<\/b>possible for a home-based franchise. But, it does need to be a high-level one, with services\/products that bring in big numbers. Think sales and\/or consulting type franchises.<\/p>\n<p>2.\u00a0 A guaranteed protected territory is essential. Period. Otherwise, you run the risk of having a very aggressive franchisee next to you who may sneak in to your territory.<\/p>\n<p>3. Both-in a perfect world. And the best thing; all you have to do is talk to a lot of franchisees to find out how good the franchisor\u00a0is&#8230;at\u00a0both.<\/p>\n<p>Oct 25, 11:10 AM EDT<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\namzn_assoc_tracking_id = \"thefrakin-20\";\namzn_assoc_ad_mode = \"manual\";\namzn_assoc_ad_type = \"smart\";\namzn_assoc_marketplace = \"amazon\";\namzn_assoc_region = \"US\";\namzn_assoc_design = \"enhanced_links\";\namzn_assoc_asins = \"1118094026\";\namzn_assoc_placement = \"adunit\";\namzn_assoc_linkid = \"0e6da6ba3aed245a92b6d5364fa74611\";\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script src=\"\/\/z-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/onejs?MarketPlace=US\"><\/script><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefranchiseking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/dogtopia2-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-25240\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thefranchiseking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/dogtopia2-1-620x349.jpg\" alt=\"franchise\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thefranchiseking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/dogtopia2-1-620x349.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.thefranchiseking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/dogtopia2-1-320x180.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.thefranchiseking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/dogtopia2-1.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Franchise Question #2<\/h3>\n<p>Jason613<\/p>\n<p><em>Obviously there are many franchise opportunities out there. \u00a0Some require millions in the bank to just be considered. \u00a0My three questions are:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>1. \u00a0How do you personally evaluate and decide on what type of franchise is worth the return (not speaking about huge franchises such as Dunkin Donuts\/7-11)?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>2. \u00a0As a person who is new to this world but definitely interested in learning more, what are some good resources to use to learn the ins and outs from step A to step Z in regards to franchises?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>3. \u00a0How do you personally feel about seasonal franchises? \u00a0Ones that may be open 7-9 months out of the year? \u00a0Obviously there are still bills to be paid during the times that the business is shut down. \u00a0I\u2019m assuming that the hope is that the cash flow is enough during their season to offset the times that they are closed, but in your experience, do the franchisees generally own more than one franchise in different areas to supplement their income?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Thank you for the time and I look forward to your replies!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Oct 22, 7:58 AM EDT<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>My answer:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jason, here ya go!<\/p>\n<p>1. and 2. : I wrote a very-detailed article that will do the job in answering your #1 and #2 questions.

I have to tell you; for someone that truly wants to own a &#8220;<i>lifestyle<\/i>&#8221; business, nothing beats a seasonal franchise.<\/p>\n<p>For example, look at a franchise like Spring-Green. (<i>Disclosure, I helped them start their blog and I did some marketing for them several years ago.<\/i>)<\/p>\n<p>This franchisor is in the lawn care business. They do fertilizing and pest control for lawms all over the country.<\/p>\n<p>But, their franchisees have around 3 months off, every year.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m told that they get to relax&#8230;go on vacation, until around the end of December. Then it&#8217;s marketing time. It&#8217;s time for them to do mailers etc. to existing customers-and to potenital new customers.<\/p>\n<p>In a perfect world, the 9 months they work every year brings in enough revenue to suport their lifestyle. Best way to find out? Do good research, which includes talking with the franchisees.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the folks who own seasonal franchises only own that one franchise.<\/p>\n<p>Oct 25, 11:21 AM EDT<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefranchiseking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/franchises.png-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-25241\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thefranchiseking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/franchises.png-1-620x349.jpg\" alt=\"my answers to these franchise questions will help you a lot\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thefranchiseking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/franchises.png-1-620x349.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.thefranchiseking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/franchises.png-1-320x180.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.thefranchiseking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/franchises.png-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thefranchiseking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/franchises.png-1-1536x865.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thefranchiseking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/franchises.png-1.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Franchise Question #3<\/h3>\n<p><em>Poorvi Tiwari<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Hello Joel!
