It's a pretty fair statement that most people, if they had the choice, would choose to have a home based business, especially a home based franchise. I'm sure you can already envision yourself waking up when you feel like it, taking that extremely long walk from the bedroom to the office (don't get too tired), you're probably still in your pajamas and you know that no one can say a thing about it. To me, that's the American Dream!

There's really a lot of reasons that new entrepreneurs or new business owners would choose a franchise model over a traditional business model, but for the purpose of this article, we're not going to talk about that. What we will cover in this article is 5 main factors in why you should consider a home based franchise opportunity over a regular franchise opportunity. You might find that what you hear is something you've never considered before or never thought about that much. Either way, let get this article started!

1. High Costs To Entry - When it comes to starting a franchise, the total initial investment usually is around $250,000 and that doesn't include the real estate. With a lot of franchises, not only do you have to get real estate, but don't forget the large equipment that might have to be leased, don't forget the initial inventory costs and remember that you're going to need initial capital to cover all the costs until the business gets up and running with some cash flow. In a home based franchise opportunity, these costs become virtually eliminated.


2. Continued Costs - After the initial costs, you now have continuing costs. These include the monthly rent, utilities, payments on equipment, inventory, employee wages and benefits, fixed costs, variable costs, breathing the air costs (okay I felt like a bank commercial right there charging for everything), and much much more. However, in a home based franchise, your overall house expenses might go up a little bit, but it's nothing compared to the costs of a physical location

3. Tax Benefits - You might be thinking that you get tax benefits on any franchise... and you'd be right. Let's look at it this way. Most of the equipment and supplies you need to run your home based franchise is the same stuff you already have. I'm talking about a computer, a phone, a high speed Internet connection and maybe a fax. The difference is now you're not increasing your costs and you get to write off all the business expenses that you're already using anyway.

4. Scalability - One of the pitfalls of owning a franchise is that you usually have to own multiple operations to make some serious dough. With home based franchise opportunities, that's not necessarily true. For instance, if you bought an Internet franchise, you can usually make the size of your business as big or as small as you want because there's no physical size online. You have a model that's scalable.


5. Bora Bora - The biggest benefit of a home based franchise opportunity is the fact that you can usually be 100% virtual and work it anywhere in the world, including Bora Bora. This isn't always the case, but I can safely say that if you have a physical location, the business happens there. You can leverage others to run it for you and still achieve the same result, but you can sometimes skip that step with a home based franchise opportunity.
