You may say it doesn’t matter, but it probably does.
You may be able to fool yourself into believing the following statement:
“I don’t care what others think about me.”
The fact is , you do. We do.
For the most part.

Does It Matter?
Let’s say you’re on the hunt. You want to be your own boss, and the business model of franchising is attractive to you.
Let’s also say you’re willing to learn how to buy a franchise-the right way.
Let’s even go as far as saying you feel pretty confident when it comes to understanding what franchising is and what is isn’t.
In other words, you don’t want to be like most people who buy franchises. You’re totally committed to doing everything you can to lower your risk.

Now, let’s say you’ve found two franchise opportunities that you’re interested in.
The first one is in the health and beauty business-and is considered a high-class business. The clientele is well-heeled, and they’re willing to pay top dollar to look younger.
The second franchise opportunity-and you feel it has equal income potential, is not considered to be a classy business. Your customers would not necessarily all be high-end.
But, it’s still a compelling opportunity.
A gentle tip from The Franchise King®:
Do not buy a franchise until you know EXACTLY how to do thorough research.

Franchise Opportunities: Getting Down And Dirty
Remember what I wrote at the beginning of this post?
Did it get you thinking?
Do you care what others think of you?
In this case, do you care what they think of you based on the type of franchise business you own?
I really want you to think about this.
Imagine yourself out to dinner with your favorite couple-at a fine restaurant.
You start discussing your ideas. You tell them you really want to buy a franchise that’s going to require you to get “down and dirty.”
A junk-hauling business…or maybe a commercial-cleaning business.
Does their reaction to your idea matter?
Think this through. Make sure the franchise business you purchase reflects the image you want it to.
Of course, if image doesn’t matter to you at all…
Just go for it.
Get Down And Dirty.
Buy a window-cleaning business that does so much more.
Purchase a franchise in the automotive field.
Buy a franchise that offers furniture and leather repair services.
Get a little dirty helping seniors in your neighborhood.
Dirt washes off.

I am a recently retired teacher in the Chicago area. I am currently seeking out a franchise opportunity in education. Some friends had suggested me to look at Kumon Math & Reading centers. Initially, I was toying the idea of approaching Kumon Math & Reading to explore opportunities. I began researching and found that many children have been sexually molested Kumon Math and Reading. From speaking to friends I find that Kumon Math & Reading have a bad image within the public school system, in addition to the reputation of sex crimes against children.
Could you suggest/recommend me an educational opportunity within the $100,000 investment range.
Sounds like this really isn’t about finding a franchise.
But, if it is, there are several tutoring franchises to choose from. Not sure if one would be right for you. Do you have small business experience?

I don’t have any business experience, but my husband does. We plan to run a business together. The only problem is that our budget is limited to $100,000 and most tutoring companies have investment requirements of over $100K
Let’s talk. I may have some ideas for you guys.
