Written By: Pam Gold, Franchise Solutions

As the new year begins, prospective business owners are thinking about the coming year and making plans to purchase a business in 2010. Particularly since experiencing difficult economic times, business buyers have become more frugal, choosing not to spend their entire life savings on a business. In general, people value time with their families, a more flexible schedule, and cutting out the daily commute to work. Franchise Solutions, a leading online business information website, features a comprehensive directory of home-based businesses for sale.

Home-based businesses tend to be more affordable than a traditional business with a store or office front. Owners do not need to rent or purchase real estate and the overhead for a home-based business is typically much lower. Furthermore, owners save time and money by not commuting to work and they may enjoy various tax incentives.

There’s a wide range of interesting and legitimate businesses that can be run from a home office. From part-time, flexible opportunities such as vending machine businesses to professional franchises that cater to the needs of fellow business owners, there is a business to match every budget and personality.

For example, the YTR Distributor businessopportunity enables owners to work from home while providing training, support and brokering services to new and experienced online traders.

Another interesting and diverse franchise is the Office Pride Commercial Cleaning Servicesfranchise, which serves thousands of customers nationwide. Recognized as one of the most admired companies in the commercial cleaning industry, Office Pride is poised for significant growth throughout America and beyond. The franchise requires an affordable investment. Franchisees must have $30,000 in liquid capital.
