Sharing Economy / Gig Economy Types of Franchises
In recent years, the number of franchises has greatly increased due to modern technology and a stronger than ever attitude of business entrepreneurship.
This means that there are now many kinds of franchise business opportunities to choose from. While many of them do require a brick and mortar building, many of them also can be run from your home.
You have many possibilities, and this enables you to start looking along the line of your interests.
