Are you interested in Internet franchises?

I read an interesting article on internet franchising on ecommercetimes.com on the concept and popularity of franchises on the internet. The listings that come up when the words 'internet franchise' are entered in a search box are endless. If you are on the lookout for a new business opportunity, then you could look into this form of business, but you must also do your own research before handing over your money.

Getting involved in an Internet franchise could be riskier than surfing the Web without a firewall . A safer approach is to investigate short-term, renewable partnership affiliations rather than more costly franchises.

"Partnerships work better on the Internet. I don't see why franchises exist," Thomas Harpointner, CEO of AIS Media, told the E-Commerce Times. "Cookie-cutter franchises don't cut it anymore."
