These include food, automotive, computer and internet services, fitness, senior care, home cleaning or maintenance, spa or pet services.
These businesses tend to do better than B2B businesses in slow times because people use the services on a regular basis especially home services and automotive. Many of these franchises have growing markets. As more and more people use home computers, renovate their homes rather than sell them, grow older, and seek out ways to look and feel better, these businesses will do well.
Who will be successful in a B2C franchise? Someone who enjoys helping people solve problems, reach goals and meet personal needs. Someone who likes having a diverse customer base, and would prefer a faster sales cycle with greater cash flow and little or no collections since payment is usually expected at the time of service.
