  1. Good post! I think if you are a beginner in business, franchise will be good variant to try. It is because a franchise is your own business with the restrictions imposed by the franchisor. The franchisor will give you a proven system for making money in their industry. If you want examples, check this restaurant franchise, in my opinion cool opportunity.
