As usual, by mentioning a franchise or business opportunity, you are cautioned to do your own DUE DILIGENCE before purchasing or investing. OK? I saw this franchise mentioned as having 60 home based franchisees and wanted to mention it to you.
Currently Friendly Computers has 60 home based franchisees. Long term they want to be 100% “retail” oriented. But perhaps you can get in before that happens if you’re looking for a home based franchise? Interesting.
Founded in 1992, Friendly Computers is now the largest on-site and retail computer repair chain in the country. The company, which began out of a college dorm, provides quick, affordable, and no-hassle computer repair services. In addition to repairing, maintaining and upgrading computer systems, the acquisition of Computer Renaissance better equipped Friendly Computers to offer new, refurbished, and custom-built computers.

Keep away from Friendly Computers. They have wiped out the life savings of dozens of people. They don’t have a working marketing plan. In fact they recently sold their flagship stores in Las Vegas which went bust after only 4 months. They have since reopened under the name Computer Renaissance. These are very shady characters.
