I attended the Franchise Expo today and I have to say it is amazing how the concept of franchising has impacted the American business scene. As Michael Gerber explains in his excellent book, The E-Myth, an entrepreneurial spirit takes you far when you have a system to work within.
From income tax preparation franchises to restaurants and back again, the L.A. convention center sparkled with positive energy as aspiring business owners sized up their options.
For the proprietor of this humble document imaging blog, the franchise mania on display brought to mind thoughts of creating a franchise to specialize in document imaging.
It seems there is at least one document imaging franchise already in existence, but with all the work coming down the pike (electronic medical records), it would be a shame if some clever soul didn't create a document imaging franchise within the next three to six months.
If you're an expert in document imaging, and would like to own your own business, consider building a franchise prototype. If that interests you and at the risk of repeating myself, I do very heartily recommend Mr. Gerber's fine book to lead you through the process.

This is certainly a trend poised to take off. The digital realm moves information in a way that traditional means just can’t touch. It’s no surprise that franchises will sprout up faster than Kinko’s outlets.
This phenomenon also encourages healthy competition among document handlers. Lower prices and better services are soon to follow. the cream always rises to the top in commercial competition.
What I think there is that this is the great way of managing records and documents. It is more compatible and cheaper as compared to keeping hard copy.
