Legit Work At Home Jobs - How To Get Started

From the desk of Jay Harris:

How To Get Started

If you currently have a job, you may want to break into your home-based business on a part-time basis until you've built up a large enough earnings base to leave. There will probably be no greater feeling than when you walk out the door and into a business where you call the shots!
If you're between jobs, then by all means go at this full-force. All you need to do is to contact the businesses listed here that interest you and begin the process of determining if this is right for you.

There may be several opportunities here that are franchises. There is no available data that says that electing to go the franchise route to start your business has any lower success rate than beginning a new business from scratch. Again, view these choices with an open mind and investigate the opportunity thoroughly before making the commitment. If you're working part or full time, you can be even choosier, perhaps.

Franchises are regulated by the Federal Trade Commission in Washington, DC. If you have any questions, or you wish to order some of the publications the FTC puts out on franchises, contact them at:

Federal Trade Commission
Bureau of Consumer Protection
Division of Enforcement
Pennsylvania Ave. at 6th Street, NW
Washington, DC 20580
(202) 326-2970
In addition, several states have agencies that specifically administer their own state-specific franchise disclosure laws. This should be part of your evaluation of these business opportunities.

These states are:

As you can see, not every state has a franchise office regulating these businesses. In that case, you can check with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) which acts as a national overseer.
You can also see if the franchise is part of:

International Franchise Association
1350 New York Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20005
628-8000

This way you can see if the franchise you have an interest in is a member of IFA. Members of this organization must meet stringent eligibility requirements, especially regarding financial strength. They also have several publications available on the various aspects of acquiring and starting a franchise business.
