Business opportunity 500 - Cover Story - Directory

Entrepreneur, July, 1996

The listings starting on page 170 give you the basic information about 546 business opportunities. If a company sounds interesting, be sure to research it before you buy. Talk to as many people as you can, including others who have bought the opportunity (the seller should have a list); your lawyer and accountant; the Better Business Bureau; and Dun & Bradstreet, which can provide detailed information about a company's financial status.

This listing does not constitute a ranking. Business opportunities are invited to submit information for publication in these listings. Entrepreneur reviewed the companies' sales and marketing literature to better evaluate the opportunities. Entrepreneur does not, however, analyze this information. The Business Opportunity 500 in no way implies, suggests or predicts the superiority of one business opportunity over another, nor does a listing suggest any endorsement by Entrepreneur.
