Consider Franchising

    I am wanting to start a land clearing business on a very small scale in the Oxford Mississippi area. I am already a groundskeeper at UM. When I say small, what I mean is weedeating small, troublesome areas that the owner doesn't want to be burdened with and then ease my way into doing bigger and more involved areas as my success builds. I do want to look into franchise opportunities for when the time is right to go bigger. Can you provide me with a list of franchises in this business?
