Overview
Friendly Computers franchisees offer an affordable alternative to IT Solutions for both the SMB market and the home user.
With the cost of hiring an IT specialist reaching $56,950 plus
benefits, it’s not practical for the SMB owner to employ an IT
Department.
Many
companies are now using outsourcing as a key strategy in growing their
business. By outsourcing, they lower their labor cost, which directly
affects the bottom line thereby allowing them to become more
competitive in the marketplace.
Whether
it’s setting up an email address or building a custom PC. Networking to
complete IT solutions, Friendly Computers franchisees are at the
forefront of the high tech world.
Don’t let the low investment fool you; this is a high demand, high profit potential opportunity with a low investment.

Your business starts with a weeks worth of training here at the corporate headquarters in Las Vegas, NV, and is followed by 6 months of weekly and monthly teleconferences with the corporate staff members as well as current franchisees. You’ll learn, from the success of other’s, how to handle the day-to-day activities of setting up and running a profitable business.
