As a contributing writer for Anita Campbell's highly influential Small Business Trends website, I get to choose the topics I write about as they relate to franchising, and small business.

In my most recent column, Anita actually suggested that I do one that ranks some popular Franchise Directories. Here is an excerpt: 

"It used to be if one wanted to find a list of franchises to check out for possible purchase, you would go out and buy a couple of entrepreneurial/business opportunity magazines from a bookstore, spend a Saturday afternoon circling the ones of interest, and then contact them to request more information.

There were even a few “Business Opportunity” directories that one could purchase in order to find out what franchises were available to look at.

Ahhhh. The good old days …."

Franchising In Australia

If you are interested in a franchise, and live down under, the Perth Franchising and Business Opportunities Expo hits the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre May 17th and 18th.

“The franchising sector is extremely dynamic, and is increasingly becoming the best option for anyone looking for a low-risk option to start running their own business,” said Jon Perry, exhibition director, Franchising & Business Opportunities Expo.
“Our alliances with the key industry bodies, such as the Franchise Council of Australia, means we can guarantee visitors to the show will have access to the most up-to-date and relevant information currently available.”

Franchise Choices For Veterans

On one of my other blogs, I have put together a fine directory that lists some franchises that Veterans may want to check out.

This directory is a great place to start...
