With rising unemployment, instability in the financial markets, a downturn in real-estate, etc.... what are the best options for today's investor? One good bet is a solid franchise concept. Everything from lease rates on real-estate to the franchise fees themselves is negotiable today. Locking in a lower cost of overhead can lower your break-even point and pay you handsome dividends a year or more from now as the business and overall market return to a moderate level of normalcy. Whether its a concept like Lillys Gourmet Pasta or furniture restoration, or an auto repair concept, there are many recession resistant models to choose from.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.

Fast Food Franchise for today's economy
Lillys Gourmet Pasta Express continues to see growth in revenue and customers despite the news we keep hearing about the economy. Catering to the customer who wants the combination of convenience, great food, and affordable prices, this concept fits the bill. See www.lillysgourmetpasta.com to learn more about this terrific concept.
They are a new franchise and are looking for the right investors to help them build it out in the Northeast and eventually the U.S. This is an excellent multi-unit concept which provides some great scaleability with its operations, excellent margins, cash flow, and low overhead.

Happy Holidays & Welcome to my Blog
Happy holidays! Its the beginning of Christmas week and I'm launching my first blog. Finally! I hope you find this space to be of interest to you and we can have some lively discussions about all sorts of topics.
Today, I will suggest that if you are one of the thousands who has recently been laid off or downsized or given early retirement, etc. from corporate america, and you are thinking of going out on your own...its a great time to do it! One path to success is through franchising. Investing in the right franchise right now, can be very lucrative. Some franchisors are more willing to negotiate, if you need to lease space, rates are down and vacancies are up, some concepts are doing very well in this economic downturn. Some concepts are not, and some you want to steer well clear of. Recognized brands don't ensure success. Finding the right system that matches your skill set and interests and makes sense, is much more important. More to follow...in the meantime, happy holidays and best wishes for the new year!!
