America's Top 101 Homebased Franchises
IN THE YEAR 2000, location, location, location is still the key to success. The difference? That location is often not in the malls of America, but rather in the homes of our suburbs.
With the increasing accessibility of cutting-edge technology and strong consumer demand for services, entrepreneurs now have the option their predecessors didn't: to operate a competitive company that just happens to be homebased. And more people are, in fact, taking that option, in the pursuit of lower overhead, a one-minute commute and overall balance between their personal and business lives.

Not surprisingly, the demand for franchises that can be run from home is booming. And franchisors are rising to the challenge, as is evident in the following listing. Scan the list and you'll see opportunities offering everything from maintenance services to magazine publishing, from management training to science activities for children.
This year's top 101 homebased franchises are listed in order of their ranking in Entrepreneur's 2000 Franchise 500 (R), the world's most comprehensive ranking of franchise companies (Franchise 500 (R) ranks appear in parentheses).
This ranking does not intend to endorse, promote or recommend any particular franchise company. Instead, it's a tool you can use while doing your personal research, which should include interviews with existing franchisees, counsel from your attorney and accountant, and literature such as the UFOC. As with any business purchase, a thorough, independent investigation is the only logical first step to success.
