small business opportunity, franchise business opportunityI come from a small, rural town where people wish for various franchises to settle.  I have heard hopes for everything from an Arby's to the Gap followed by the phrase "that would make a lot of money."  So what are the best franchises to invest in today?  If you are interested in this small business opportunity, read the following.

The fast food industry leads the franchise business opportunity list.  Near the top are Subway, Dunkin' Donuts, Pizza Hut, McDonald's, Sonic, Kentucky Fried Chicken and Dominos.  I figured as much as this.  Buying into one of these previously established and reputable names guarantees you will have an excellent chance of turning a profit.

What shocked me was who was leading the top of the franchise business opportunity list.  I figured it to be one of the fast food places previously mentioned, however, it was not.  It was instead, 7-Eleven, even with the increase of gas prices.  Other suprising franchises near the top were Intercontinental Hotel Groups and Re/Max Realty.  Of all of these, I belive that Re/Max Realty suprises me the most with the current housing fiasco.  So if you are hoping to open a little something of your own, please consider these small business opportunity options.
