Top 10 Business Service Franchises By Candice Clem At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

Too many people, when thinking of business opportunities, focus solely on franchises that serve consumers directly, completely missing a wide spectrum of opportunities that address the various needs that other businesses have. Especially now, when consumer spending has fallen off a great deal, working with other existing businesses to help them increase their profitability is a great way to make your own way in the business world. Of course, with the list of business service franchises being as large as it is, it can be hard to determine exactly which business opportunity is the best on the list and, more specifically, the best one for you. To make your decision just that much easier, here are 10 of the finest business service franchises available.

1) Liberty Tax Service

Striving to be the "#1 tax preparation business in the universe," Liberty Tax Service was built from the ground up by John Hewitt, a 39-year tax veteran who began his career with H&R Block. This comprehensive turnkey franchise packet comes with a one-of-a-kind tax-preparation software, a complete marketing system that brings clients right to your door, and a communication system allowing franchisees and franchisor to freely discuss the best methods of operation that they all have found.

2) Breathtesters USA

This home based business is one of the latest developments in the world of vending. Found in increasing numbers of bars and restaurants across the country, the Breathtesters USA machine is a pay-per-use, automated machine that tests each customer's blood alcohol content (BAC). This business is entirely cash-operated and requires no stocking or refilling on the part of the franchisee, because there is no physical product to sell.

3) 1-800-WATER-DAMAGE

This national brand name is known for the one thing that they do exceptionally well: fixing flood damage to homes. Unlike many businesses, this is a truly recession-proof business because they specialize in emergency services and are only called into action by insurance companies, so they are not at the mercy of consumer spending trends. There is one name, one website, and one phone number, so even though each franchisee has a protected territory, clients have an easy time scheduling an appointment with the franchisee in their area.

4) ServiceMaster Clean

One of the best commercial cleaning businesses in the world, ServiceMaster Clean is ranked #12 in Entrepreneur's top 500 franchises. Join the ranks with 4,500 other franchisees who have seen great success using the ServiceMaster Clean name on the side of their van to build their own local cleaning business. Everything is provided right from the start, from products and equipment to initial client leads.

5) Nerds We Can Fix That

At a much smaller initial purchase cost than the other guys, this computer-repair business for sale has everything necessary to turn a computer geek into a business whiz. To date, Nerds We Can Fix That has the largest customer base of all the franchised businesses of its kind, and the company is focused on expanding that client list, funneling a great deal of ongoing franchise fees to marketing, and not just national marketing, but localized to each franchisee's area, ensuring that they see the effects of their fee dollars.

6) Blue Coast Financial Group

Providing business clients with expense recovery and cost-saving services, Blue Coast Financial Group franchisees are seeing exceptional growth in the midst of the nation's current economic downturn, because now, more than ever, businesses need their services. Cost segregation studies, equipment lease brokering, and commercial funding are just a few of the services Blue Coast Financial Group franchisees offer their clients. And the franchisor provides everything a new entrepreneur needs to succeed under the Blue Coast Financial Group name, including one-on-one training and online tutorials.

7) Intelligent Office

Many small and mid-sized businesses don't have the financial resources to provide themselves with even simple positions, like a fulltime receptionist, even though having that would be a huge advantage. Intelligent Office gives smaller business owners access to such services for a much lower fee than it would cost to hire in-house. Remote receptionists, address services, and meeting spaces are just a few of the services that clients receive for their investment.

8) High Speed Service

In his own specific territory, the High Speed Service mobile franchisee serves the dental community by performing on-site dental equipment repairs. Trained and overseen by ProDrive, one of the most noteworthy names in the world of dental hand tools, home business franchisees receive first-class initial and ongoing training for everything about tool function, tool development, and cutting edge product innovation. Undoubtedly they are equipped to handle any dentist and any equipment malfunction.

9) AlphaGraphics

At the forefront of the printing and visual communications industry for the last 35 years, AlphaGraphics has revolutionized the way the world does document creation and marketing communications. The central facility works to keep all franchises up on the latest trends in printing, and the research and development team keeps them on the cusp of that trend. Though it comes with a relatively high initial cost (anywhere from $240,000 to $375,000 depending on size), the success that 260 other franchisees have had in all 50 states and abroad proves the worth of this investment.

10) Barmetrix

Barmetrix, in its franchising debut, is seeking franchise candidates with the entrepreneurial drive, management skills, and a dedication to meet company objectives. Working with bar owners and managers to refine systems and strategies for optimum business performance, this business has been so successful in the last 10 years that they are now opening up the business opportunity to franchisees as well, allowing them to turn this concept into a work from home business in their regions as well.

These 10 names provide some of the best business opportunities in the business-to-business industry, but the decision as to which is the best for you is yours to make. Seek further information about these and other franchises and compare your options.
