Considering striking out on your own, but afraid of the risk? Want your own business, but don’t necessarily want to start from scratch? Franchises are one way to own your own business without starting from scratch and without having to do everything on your own. And, franchising can present less risk than other business startup options. Because someone else has already developed a business with systems that work, a franchisee can start a new business with fewer growing pains.
Like all types of business ventures, there are advantages and disadvantages to owing a franchise. You should investigate all aspects thoroughly before diving in.
If you’re in the DC metro area and interested in exploring further, check out the International Franchise Expo, April 11-13th in downtown DC.

I happened to catch a segment on the Today show yesterday, Jobs for Stay-at-Home Moms, about alternative work arrangements — though it could apply to anyone, not just moms. Danielle Babb, author, professor and technologist offered an encouraging picture for moms who want to earn a living while at home with the kids.
She offers tips on getting started in teaching online, selling on e-bay, bookkeeping, and professional shopping. Babb believes that there is an online job for everyone — moms and dads and those interested in working part-time, full-time or want to supplement an existing income. Learn more about Dr. Babb and do let us know if you land a gig as a result.
