What are the best franchises? Even better, what is the best franchise?  There is really no best all-around franchise because everyone is different.  There are some franchises that rank highest in various industries, and top franchise lists are fun but should be taken with a grain of salt.  For most I would suggest a food franchise, but everyone doesn’t want to be tied down to a restaurant or kiosk.  So, for entrepreneurs that want to stay mobile franchises or business opportunities in the mobile auto repair or handyman sector might be best.  If you want to work from home there are dozens of opportunities that will fit well too like an Internet businesses.  The best franchise for you is different than the best franchise for someone else.  Finding your best franchise takes exploration and knowing what you want and need to be happy and satisfied.
