What could they offer that would make a franchise a better option than
setting up on your own??


To me that looks very similar to the way some SOHO IT support outfits
are currently working, and their 'staff wanted' adverts placed via the
directgov's job centre don't exactly entice my interest.

e.g.

"This is a self employed vacancy. Must have experience in software,
hardware, fault finding and a minimum A plus qualification. Must have
full driving licence, own transport and mobile phone. Duties include
fault finding, the repair and replacement of parts and any other
associated tasks. Could applicants state availability when applying. The
company has given an assurance that this vacancy enables workers to
achieve a wage equivalent to the National Minimum Wage rate.
Self-employed people are responsible for paying their own National
Insurance contributions and Tax. "

So if ye are so qualified what's the point of offering yourself for
these pimps, or going it alone?

Stick a business profile up on facebook/linkin, or a card in a phone box
and ye will be run off your feet with new leads, as each unstable PC and
user eventually succumbs to the inevitable windows inspired tradegy...
