Many entrepreneurs want to start businesses where they can work from home, but they want the business support and to be associated with a recognized, trusted company name that a franchise provides. The good news is that in today's start-up marketplace, there are a growing number of home-based franchise opportunities available, and at a lower cost to franchisees.

Home based franchise opportunities can involve the internet or other technology where you work at home full time. However, home based franchises can also include work outside the home. As the name suggests, the business is based at home, but the business owner can operate a mobile business or do work "on site" without having to invest in the costly overhead that a traditional retail location incurs.

Being able to work from home is very attractive to today's entrepreneur, because lower operating costs minimizes the risk of starting a business. Working from home also gives business owners greater freedom and flexibility in a work schedule. They are no longer limited to working in one location or certain hours.

A work from home franchise also enables franchisees to grab a larger market share. There is a growing number of customers who want a product or service delivered to them instead of having to go get it. Being able to provide on-site or delivery service to this market gives franchisees a competitive advantage, making it easier to grow their businesses.

Cell phones, wireless internet service and laptop computers make the traditional office or retail space no longer necessary. With the numerous benefits they provide, it's easy to understand why home-based franchises are growing in popularity.
