The <strong>International</strong> <strong>Franchise</strong> <strong>Association</strong>’s<br />

<strong>Franchise</strong> Opportunities Guide describes the many<br />

reasons franchising is an excellent way to be “in<br />

business for yourself, but not by yourself.” It also<br />

helps entrepreneurs determine if franchising is right<br />

for them and identifies potential mistakes and<br />

challenges posed when purchasing a franchise.<br />

The information and worksheets presented in the<br />

Guide are specifically designed to assist prospective<br />

franchise owners in their search for the best<br />

opportunity that matches their qualifications and<br />

personal goals, and serves as a reference guide<br />

throughout the purchasing decision.<br />

The <strong>Franchise</strong> Opportunities Guide includes more than<br />

1,100+ <strong>Franchise</strong> Opportunities listed by industry and<br />

sorted alphabetically. Each listing includes the history<br />

and description of the business, the required cash<br />

investment, the training and support provided by the<br />

franchisor, the necessary qualifications to be a<br />

successful franchisee, and detailed contact information<br />

for the franchise development department.<br />

The Guide also includes the IFA Supplier Forum—a<br />

listing of IFA Supplier members including franchise<br />

attorneys, accountants, consultants, business and<br />

financial services, and many other firms that specialize<br />

in the franchising field. As IFA members committed to<br />

franchising, IFA Supplier Forum members can serve as<br />

a valuable resource to the entrepreneur entering into<br />

franchise ownership, and continue to be of assistance<br />

as the entrepreneur becomes a seasoned franchisee.<br />

WHY ADVERTISE<br />

Veterans qualify<br />

for a special franchise<br />

fee discount.<br />

“After I retired from 30 years with municipal<br />

government, I decided to fulfill the dream of<br />

starting my own business. Coverall provided<br />

me with the opportunity to become a<br />

franchise owner, and with low start-up costs<br />

including a U.S. military veteran discount.<br />

The hands-on training helped me get my<br />

business up and running quickly. For veterans<br />

of any age, owning a franchise is a good<br />

opportunity to start your own full-time<br />

business or to take on a few accounts as<br />

a way to supplement your income.”<br />

stone to its original beauty! Ceramic tile sales<br />

have grown 43.7 percent in the past five years,<br />

there has been a demand for someone to do grout<br />

repair and minor tile repairs. The Grout Doctor ®<br />

was founded to fill that niche in the market. In<br />

1992-93, franchises were sold in California and<br />

Arizona. The Grout Doctor ® then continued<br />

expanding through area developers offering an<br />

independent contractor program. Grout Doctor<br />

Global <strong>Franchise</strong> Corp. was subsequently formed<br />

in 2001 and promptly began offering franchises<br />

throughout The United States.<br />

and operate your own business. The Grout<br />
