Unusual Franchise
Opportunities - Funny Business |

The most unusual franchise opportunity that
I have come across specializes in cleaning mattresses! They have turned
this business into an art form. The way I clean my mattresses is by
taking them out on a cold day and hitting them with a hard brush. The
brush dislodges all the loose material whilst the cold kills any bed
bugs.
This franchise has all the specialist equipment needed including hi
powered cleaners, UV radiation equipment and specialist hygiene sprays.
They claim that a properly cleaned mattress will also reduce many
allergies. It can also help in reducing Asthma attacks by removing dust
& tiny skin particles from the mattress and thereby reducing the amount
of dust in the air. If you are scared of bed bugs or creepy crawlies
then this franchise opportunity is not right for you!
Another franchise that I found unusual was a window cleaning franchise -
why would any one buy this type of franchise? Surely all you need is a
van, a decent ladder, some cleaning material and you are ready? Not all
window cleaners are the same…
This window cleaning franchise I looked at can also clear your gutters,
decks and fences, roofs, patios and a whole lot more. Their aim is to
make what was simply window cleaning turn into a full time business
opportunity offering a wide variety of cleaning functions.
All their franchisees are insured specially for the job and use special
cleaning solutions to get rid of the dirt and grime as efficiently as
possible! They have high pressure washers and use "high tech" ladders
and all the safety equipment that you can think of. Not one for people
who are scared of heights!
I found an even more unusual franchise that specializes in bird feeding
and watching. They find a great location near a busy road which is
renowned for the different types of birds that visit the area and create
a business which specializes in displays and merchandise for bird
watchers. According to their marketing material bird feeding & watching
is a 4.7 billion dollar industry!
There is a retail chain franchise in the USA that specializes in cigars,
pies and other gifts for the smoker. I don't know how this will fare in
today's environment where it's getting more and more difficult to smoke
in planes, trains, cafes, bars and shopping molls! This would be an
ideal business for someone who loves his pipes!
There are many franchise opportunities available today and some of the
more unusual franchises can also be the most lucrative as the standard
types of franchise businesses usually have a lot of competition. It is
also important to get into a business that you enjoy and one which suits
your lifestyle.
By investing in a franchise you are taking the gamble out of starting a
business as you are buying into a business model that has already been
proven to be successful. Just make sure that the franchise you choose is
in a niche that you will enjoy.
Always ensure that you get the best possible advice from experts in the
field of franchising before you buy a franchise.
