A Computer Troubleshooter services business owners and home office users. Many businesses cannot afford to employ a full-time computer person and do not need to do so. It is critical for their business, however, that they receive computer service, support and training on a regular basis.

As a CTS franchisee you can promote yourself as the problem-solver for small businesses and home users in your area. Customers can commission you to troubleshoot a problem without being subjected to the high fees or retainer costs charged by the large repair companies. Most Computer Troubleshooters are one or two-person enterprises operated from home, which means no rent or payroll expenses for you. Your business start-up costs and ongoing expenses are therefore much lower than for comparable franchises. However, as part of a world-class service organization with a reputation for friendly professionalism, you enjoy significant benefits:

Association with a credible, branded, worldwide organisation while retaining your independence as a business owner.

Access to a proven sales and marketing system.

Sharing of expertise with other franchisees in the network.

A strong corporate support team to back you up.

Availability of assistance from other franchisees when you are away or unavailable.

An initial performance maximising training course followed by on-going training, refresher meetings and newsletters.

Comprehensive documentation on how to run your business, plus initial supplies of promotional tools.

In addition, given that all businesses and most homes now have at least one computer, you have a potentially huge market in which to grow. Professional attention to your clients will ensure that you build a base of repeat business while continuing to attract new customers. You have the option of expanding your enterprise as much as you want to and moving to a retail location if growth warrants it. It's your business so you decide how much you want to expand.

Ask yourself the following questions to see if a CTS franchise could be the right one for you:

1. Are you tired of working for someone else?

2. Do you have computer skills and experience, or good management skills?

3. Would you like to own your own computer business, employing yourself and perhaps one other person initially?

4. Are you keen to start up on your own, but lack business and/or marketing experience and would be uncomfortable working in isolation?

5. Are you looking for the support, training, back-up and proven business plan that a professional franchise can offer?

6. Would you like to join "The World's Computer Service Network" franchise team?

If you answered YES to any of these questions, Computer Troubleshooters may be right for you.
