Internet and Online Businesses Franchises

A home-based business offers many unique advantages. For one thing, working from home through an Internet franchise will provide you with an average of 348 hours of extra time. This is the amount of time the average American spends commuting to and from work each year. That's a lot of time you could spend growing your business, interacting with your family or engaging in your favorite leisure activities. An Internet-based business that you operate from home lets you establish your own earning potential. Simply put: the harder you work, the more money you will make. An Internet franchise requires a much smaller initial investment than a traditional franchise, and this equates to a smaller risk. There are numerous tax advantages associated with a home-based business. For example, a percentage of your mortgage and many other household maintenance expenses can be deducted as business expenses. Autonomy is a major selling point for starting your own Internet-based business. Of course, an Internet franchise will have guidelines for its franchisees, but essentially you're your own boss. And since you'll be running your business from home, feel free to show up for work in your pajamas. Franchise Opportunities There are so many great options available to entrepreneurs interested in an Internet franchise or other home-based business: The Advertising Consultants franchise allows you to start a home-based advertising business with an initial investment of just $25,000. American Billing Systems' initial investment is under $15,000, but it still provides franchisees the opportunity to earn six-figure incomes operating a home-based business.
