As 2018 quickly comes to a close, our sights are now set on finishing out the year strong and embarking on new business ventures in 2019. Franchises are an excellent opportunity to go into business for yourself while having the relative security of brand recognition, and a proven business model. The following are three growing industries in Atlanta and their franchise opportunities that will reach new heights in 2019. These almost infallible business models will take all the guesswork out of the business for you, and will continue to have on-going support for years to come.
Tech
Atlanta is steadily becoming a hub for the highest standards of tech innovation. Driving this innovation is the abundance of readily available talent in the city. Not only is the metro area home to dozens of colleges and universities ripe with the fresh perspective of young hopefuls, but the reasonable cost of living is attracting more and more transplants every day.
The industry is currently dominated by startup ventures, however, startups are risky and may prove more difficult to grow and manage. CMIT Solutions is an IT solutions company dedicated to keeping the IT process for business running efficiently and securely, by protecting and recovering data. They are always looking for motivated entrepreneurs to bring into their franchise system. No IT experience is required, and with high margins and corporate training and support, partnering with CMIT is a great opportunity to meet the high demand for professional IT services.
