Given that you will be coming from the Philippines, they may ask you for proof that you are legally able to work and do business in the US\n\nHope this helps\nIsabel Isidro\nFor information on starting a business, visit http://www.powerhomebiz.com

There's already been a lot of speculation about a new franchise starting up, or moving to Las Vegas.  While I live in NJ, Las Vegas is the perfect spot for a major league team.  There is a booming population there and they would have plenty of filled seats from hotels buying packages of seats and giving them to their high rollers.  From a business standpoint, it is the best possible option.

There are too many to list. Read the two lists. I think you are looking for what is listed under NBC. \n\nThe second link covers what I would consider to be "franchises."

It depends on how you measure popularity. Subway is the fastest growing franchise, and one of the largest, while McDonalds is simply the largest while several others are growing much faster.\n\nBrandon O'Dell\nO'Dell Consulting\nRestaurants/Retail/Bars\nbodell1@cox.net\nhttp://www.bodellconsulting.com

Not knowing what state you're in makes it difficult to say.  The vast majority of new licensees go to work for a local independent agent to get their feet wet, learn the business, and most importantly to learn which companies are most competetive in the area and meet their marketing reps.  If they like you, they'll appoint you.  From there it's usually pretty easy to get your E&O (errors and ommissions insurance), get a few appointments, hang a sign and go for it.  I am an independent working in Texas for the last ten years and that's exactly how I did it.  Whatever you do, DO NOT invest your life savings on any of the "insurance franchise opportunities" out there.  They are just taking your money to get you appointed to companies you can get appointed to by yourself.  Take the savings and buy the biggest yellow page ad you can afford (I have 3 full pages) because it will always be your best investment.  Also, if you can time your opening with the publication of the yellow pages it will save you thousands in wasted overhead waiting for the phone to ring. Good Luck!

The one that's going to provide you with personal training.  Franchise companies aren't all they are cracked up to be.  They, too, are only as good as the people behind the desk.  What niche market do you want to work in, and which company seems to have the best in-roads into that market?

Well, I used to work for Blockbuster. They have a computer system that prospects enter their information. Some more would be JCPenny, Belk, any department stores. You could also look at major companies like Coca Cola or Pepsi or Wrigleys. The list goes on.. just contact me for more business names.

The Entrepreneur Magazine has profiles on the top franchises and regularly comes out with lists of top franchises. They have the information you need: contact information, company profile, number of employees, number of franchises in and out the United States for the past 5 years, cost and fees, training/support provided, as well as its rankings as measured by Entrepreneur Mag. \n\nAccording to Entrepreneur, following are the costs requirements:\n\nTotal investment: $71.7K-251.1K\nFranchise fee: $10K-25K\nOngoing royalty fee: 7%\nTerm of agreement: 15 years, renewable \nRenewal fee: $1K\n\nQualifications:\n\nNet worth requirement: $125K\nCash liquidity requirement: $60K\nBusiness Experience: Industry experience; General business experience \n\nYou may also want to request for franchise materials straight from Quiznos at  http://www.quiznosfranchises.com/request_franchise_info.asp\n\nQuiznos has always been ranked in the top 10 by Entrepreneur, and in fact it was ranked the #2 franchise opportunity for 2006. So I reckon its ROI for its franchisees is good, considering that it is one of the fastest growing franchises in the country today.\n\nHope the above helps\nIsabel Isidro\nhttp://www.powerhomebiz.com

Where are you going to open this business?\nYour location is extremly important.\nTake a close look at Franchising fees.  Compare these fees\nto others like Cold Stone Creamery, and Maggie Moos.\nDo you need the franchise?  What kind of training do they provide?\n\nThe number one rated franchise for years is Subway.  \nMaybe you would rather serve ice cream than eat fresh but look at all of your options.\n\nI find that dessert franchises tend to only last around 3-5 years before the next dessert trend comes along.  Frozen yogurt is on its way out. (My Opinion)
