Find a Business on the Top 10 Franchises List

Find a Business on the Top 10 Franchises List

Finding the right franchise can be a challenge. There are thousands of franchise businesses available. Many businesses have made the top 10 franchise list at some time or another. If you're looking for a franchise business why not start by looking at some of the businesses that made the top 10 franchises list.

How about a health and fitness franchise?

In the 2006 rankings of the top 10 franchises, Curves, the women's health and fitness facility came in third place. They were down one position from both 2004 and 2005. Curves has been in operation since 1992 and began franchising in 1995.

Curves is the largest fitness franchise in the world with 10,000 locations worldwide. Curves Clubs can be found in 60 countries, including the United States, Canada, Europe, South America, The Caribbean, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Japan, and we're still growing. They are the first fitness and weight loss facility dedicated to providing affordable, one-stop exercise and nutritional information for women.

Buying a Curves Franchise

There are two ways to buy a Curves franchise. One is to buy a new franchise territory where there is not currently a Curves in operation and open one. The other is to buy an existing Curves that is owned and operated by a Curves franchisee who is considering selling the franchise.

The availability of these two opportunities varies considerably by country. For example, there are some areas of the U.S. and Canada where new franchise territories are not available, but there are opportunities to purchase an existing Curves. In most other countries, there are a large number of available new franchise territories, but few, if any, existing Curves for sale.

Looking for an automotive franchise?

The Maaco Collision Repair and Auto Painting Franchise has been the leader of the top 10 franchises list, and continues to do very well.

Car enthusiasts love the Maaco Collision Repair and Auto Painting franchise even though they don't have to be experts to run this business. The Maaco system really takes care of everything. With this franchise you will not worry about being out in the market with no support. There is technical expertise available, market development, and even hands on training. Assistance is offered for real estate purchases and financing, and even crew training and recruitment aren't left for you to take care of on your own. Requirements for investment include $75,000 of liquid capital and a net worth of $300,000.

Another automotive franchise that has made the top 10 franchises list in the past is the Mr. Transmission Franchise.

The Mr. Transmission franchise has been considered by some as one of the best business franchises for car enthusiasts. Investment requirements include a total capital investment of $149,000 - $192,000 with $50,000 of liquid capital required. Third part financing is available and support and training are offered. Mr. Transmission franchises offer outstanding opportunities because they provide brand awareness, technical support, development programs, marketing support, management training and support, and much more.

Finding top franchise businesses is not hard, just type in "top 10 franchises" in Google. If you're looking for a franchise business, Google is the best place to find information. You can also find information about an alternative to buying a franchise business at http://afranchisesolution.com. This is not a franchise opportunity, but if it was, I'm sure it would have made the top 10 franchises list.
