Internet franchising: on-site computer services
Ok, I’m back to continue writing about Internet and computer franchise opportunities. Last time I was so busy that I managed to write only about the first – providing web-services. So, now I’m going forth.
2. On-site computer services will be the next idea to write about. The franchisee has to hire a specialist(s) in the technical sphere. Usually it’s not necessary to have prior experience in computer repair because franchisor will provide all the training. For example, Geeks On Call® Company says:
“Everything starts with “Geek University,” which is an in-depth, weeklong training program”
The benefits: the market of home and office computers is rather big and it’s growing; franchisor provides training and some other useful stuff for start-up (business plan, results of marketing research and so on); you can reach small business owners and households large service-centers are not interested in.
The potential losses: the competition in the industry is very tight; every technical specialist with even little experience in computer-repairing can provide the same services himself anв for lower cost (as he doesn’t have to pay royalty and other payments to franchisor).
