There are many new franchise owners every day. In fact, over 2000 people every day decide to go into business for themselves in one capacity or another. With so many new franchises available, it’s easy to understand that it’s not a niche market for a franchise owner anymore. All types of businesspeople whether young or old, men or women, previously experienced or new franchise owners, can be successful and profitable in the franchise market. While the franchise market in it’s growing popularity appeals to all types of franchise owners, there are specific franchise businesses and opportunities that need a specific type of owner and operator; namely women franchisees.

Women have emerged as equals in the corporate workforce and need to continue to prove their capacity for success in the home based business and small business franchise worlds. There are a number of small business opportunities that are specifically in need of women franchisees because of the unique type of product or service they provide and the expectation that customers have that they know require a woman franchise owner to provide.

#1 Roni Deutch Tax Center

Many people tend to have a greater initial trust of a female tax accountant. Whether or not that is factually based, it does serve as a launch pad for a successful tax franchise. This franchise option can be run as a traditional high-season income tax franchise and also offers small business training to assist franchise owners in creating a market for their services year round.

#2 Liberty Weight Loss
These weight loss centers operated as small business franchises provide multiple revenue streams that capitalize on the medical need for American’s to shed excess pounds and stay fit and healthy. Women make up the majority of this market as consumers of weight loss related products.  Although Liberty Weight Loss offers programs for both women and men, women are significantly more likely to visit a woman operated weight loss facility because of self-image and self-confidence issues making them less comfortable about the need for weight loss products in the presence of a male business owner.

#3 Cruise Planners Franchising
Cruise Planners LLC is one of the largest privately owned nationally recognized cruise selling agencies in the country. The ability to book, market, and assist customers with their travel plans is a niche market in the growing vacation industry. While there is no specific gender benefit to a cruise planning franchise statistically a majority of the most successful travel agencies and cruise booking companies are operated by women owners.

#4 CompuChild
