You want to have a low overhead<\/strong> franchise. In these tough economic times, it certainly makes sense. Or does it? Could a home based franchise of your own provide that Pot O' Gold?<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Most of the time, when I do seminars and classes on franchising, questions are asked concerning home based businesses.<\/strong> Home based businesses cover a broad scope of different business models. Some are legit, most are not. Things like:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. "Stuff Envelopes For Hundred's Of Dollars A Day" -Not<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. "Make Money On The Internet" -Probably not<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. "Make And Sell Your Own Line Of Jewelery"-Maybe<\/strong> <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Folks, the "businesses" above are not franchises!<\/em> They are either MLM<\/strong> junk, or "Biz Opps" {Think vending machines<\/em>, when thinking of what a Biz Opp is. Biz opp is short for Business Opportunity, which are regulated much differently than franchise are. Some are<\/em> actually pretty good.}<\/p>\n

    Please don't ask me to define MLM. I will start turning Green. I hate MLM.<\/p>\n

    Anyway, investing in a home based business may not be what you think it it is. Read what it may consist of, here<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n
