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.
