The Kids are Back to School, What Should I Do With All of This Free Time?

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!  The kids are heading back to school.  Whether you have older kids heading to college or younger kids heading to elementary, the house might be a bit quieter than it has been for the past three months.

What might you accomplish with all of this time on your hands?  Could you imagine starting a business?

Depending on your financial situation, starting a business may be a viable opportunity for you.  With a proven franchise concept, you could reduce the risk of owning a successful business.

Semi-absentee Ownership Still Will Give You Time With Your Kids
The semi-absentee ownership model puts the operating responsibilities on a manager that you hire.  After getting the business off the ground, you focus on supervising from the 10,000 foot level.

Business Ownership Could Be An Investment Towards Your Children’s College Education
College is expensive.  Bank savings accounts and CDs don’t offer that much interest.  What if you can invest in yourself right now, and in essence, be investing in your children’s future?  Running a successful business can help you towards the goal of paying for your children’s college, or adding retirement security

Owning a Business Can Provide a Job For Your Soon-To-Be College Graduate
Have a child that’s about to enter the “real world?”  What if you can groom your child to be the next manager of your business?  With job markets being tougher and tougher, you can give your child a head start on landing a job and getting great experience.

If You Love Kids, You Will Love Running a Child-related Franchise

As you explore into different types of franchise opportunities, you will see that there are numerous types of franchises out there. Do you love kids? Then these types of franchises might be just the right fit.

• Tutoring / Learning Centers: Some children need a little bit of an extra hand, and you can help them achieve their goals. A little extra care and a little extra academic instruction can help a student reach for the A. 
• Art/Music: Extra curricular art and music enrichment programs are critical to academic performance and lifelong success. With funding for arts and music being cut from many school curriculums, parents are seeking programs outside of the traditional school setting. The demand is there! 
• Children’s Events/Party Planning: Celebrating children's life events has become a booming industry as parents try to enrich their children's lives with more creative parties. Character entertainment has become a popular option for children's events - there are business out there than can make it much easier. 
• Children’s Fitness: Allow kids to keep running and running, playing various sports at your location. Development of motor, coordination and social skills benefit overall development. The kids will appreciate the fun, and the parents will enjoy their worn-out kids. 

This is just a handful of potential business concepts that focuses on children and child development. Not quite for you? There are hundreds of other franchise business concepts that FranNet can help you explore.
