Running a home based franchise is like running any other home based business. You need to make sure you can ignore the household chores that might be calling to you. You should have a separate office space to work in (preferably with a door between you and the rest of the household). At the least, you'll need room for a desk, a computer or two, some filing cabinets, and some storage space.

You should have a second phone line for your business so callers always get a professional response. In fact, if you're out of your office a lot, consider hiring a service to answer the phone for you rather than using voice mail. It costs more but it's beneficial to you to project an image of professionalism.
