3 franchises to launch your business in the United States
Fast food
Fast food restaurants are the most numerous in terms of franchises. McDonald's, Subway, and Pizza Hut are among the best known, but require millions of dollars in capital. However, there are other alternatives with original concepts to attract customers.
For example, a franchise founded in 2014 launched a savory wafer concept (resembling an ice cream cone) filled with crispy chicken and a choice of sauce. Customers can also choose to order fries and a drink.
This franchise is growing very quickly. For example, three openings are planned in Florida by the end of the year (Fort Lauderdale and St. Pete). It's an original concept that's simple to set up and manage on a daily basis. The starting budget is on average $106,000 per point of sale, with premises ranging from 50 to 10 m². The franchisor helps the franchisee find the location, negotiate the lease, and set up the store. Launch is quick and can take place between 6 and 8 weeks after signing the lease. Training is available in New York or on-site. The franchisee can simply supervise, entrusting the manager with "field" management. Profitability is particularly attractive due to limited expenses.

Seasonal rental
A little-known concept in France in terms of franchising is vacation rentals. The majority of vacation homes are occupied by their owners for only a few months of the year. Similarly, French people who own a second home in the United States cannot enjoy it year-round because they require a visa. This is where this franchise comes in. The goal is to rent out homes not occupied by their owners to vacationers. In order to maintain a personalized and high-quality service, the management of these properties is limited to between 15 and 50 homes. As a property manager, the responsibilities include:
Manage the cleanliness of the property (including the swimming pool) after each guest's departure
Take care of maintenance (burned out light bulb, hole in a wall, garden, etc.)
Being in contact with the owners
Responding to customer requests, …
These tasks can be performed by the franchisee or outsourced. Currently, this franchise is only available in Florida, but plans are underway to expand throughout the United States. Several starter packages are available. For 15 contracts, the initial investment is $125,000, and for 25 contracts, it's $165,000. The franchise can be launched in as little as two weeks.
Home Staging
Home staging is a set of techniques aimed at showcasing a property intended for sale or rental.
This concept now exists as a franchise. It's important to know that a well-appointed home increases the number of potential buyers. Indeed, they can better visualize their vision. In addition, their purchase offers also increase. Real estate agents are enthusiastic because the owners are happy that the sale of their house is going smoothly and quickly. The goal of the home stager is also to prepare the house in advance (temperature, lighting, background music) to reduce the real estate agent's preparation time during a visit.
With the US real estate market thriving, there are always opportunities for home staging. The advantage of this franchise is that you can adjust your schedule. Plus, the investment is low, between $50,000 and $85,000.
