Tech Support

With a technology franchise, you get the support of a system in a thriving industry.

As a society, it’s obvious we're in love with technology. It permeates our lives so deeply we hardly think about it until there's a snafu somewhere—maybe we can't receive our texts or emails or our social media accounts are not posting instantaneously. Our dependency on technology impacts our daily lives, both professionally and personally. For businesses, technology’s reach touches operations, marketing, cybersecurity, customer service, and a plethora of other areas. When it goes down, business halts.

Technology is the core of what fuels businesses and consumers alike. And for many in the franchise industry, it’s the arena chosen for business ownership. You may not initially think of “technology” as a category in the franchise space, but it is— and there are numerous models and brands available for ownership. The wonderful thing about the franchise industry is that you can find a franchise in the area that interests you most, and for sure, technology brands are a solid and growing choice. They’re exciting, and they’re always advancing. Case in point: Commercial drone franchises are an incredible sector that— just a few years ago—didn’t even exist.

If drones aren’t to your liking, how about franchises providing information technology services to businesses? A huge market, it is estimated at $300 billion and growing. There’s also the electronic repair and services sector that readily fixes damaged phones, tablets, and PCs. Of course, cybersecurity issues are always a factor, so brands that protect the services for a device, data, and the user's identity are quite popular. If your desire is to work strictly b2b (business to business), brand specializing in digital marketing strategies and solutions will pique your interest. Services range the gamut and franchise owners are able to generate leads, sales, and customers for their clients.

Whether you want to be involved in the day-to-day operations of a technology business or manage the overall operations, this is a category that offers numerous opportunities for franchise owners—both immediate and for the future.
