A pandemic can really bring out the entrepreneurial spirit, forcing Americans to think outside the box and find new streams of revenue better suited to an altered consumer landscape. Specialty services like virtual assistants, copywriting and dropshipping are <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/nextavenue/2021/02/07/small-businesses-to-start-in-2021/?sh=92b72fc73cd2&utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=what-are-2021s-top-small-businesses-2716718" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">on the rise</a>.&nbsp;In fact, new business applications were the <a href="https://eig.org/news/the-startup-surge-business-formation-trends-in-2020?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=what-are-2021s-top-small-businesses-2716718" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">highest on record</a> in 2020, according to the Census Bureau. Nearly 4.5 million applications were filed by the end of 2020, which is a 24.3% increase from the previous year.&nbsp;It makes sense, too, as once-standard operations like dine-in restaurants and in-office meetings have given way to curbside pickup and Zoom video calls. With all our COVID-influenced new behaviors in mind, here are 10 of the most common emerging types of small businesses we’ve seen opening up in 2021.&nbsp;<h4>Digital Consultant</h4>Anyone with expert knowledge on a specific topic can act as a consultant, but in today’s world, offering digital services is a huge benefit. For example, plenty of companies are lost when it comes to social media marketing. Becoming a consultant for a platform like Instagram could be lucrative, as clients will pay for services like caption and copy creation, comment response and creating ads.&nbsp;<h4>Online Education</h4>This type of small business casts a wide net. All sorts of employees are interested in continuing education, so consider teaching skills for specific programs like navigating spreadsheets in Microsoft Excel or producing videos in Apple Final Cut Pro. Teachers with experience can find fulfilling opportunities with online tutoring centers like <a href="https://www.sylvanlearning.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=what-are-2021s-top-small-businesses-2716718" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Sylvan Learning</a>’s, or teach English immersion classes online with popular platform <a href="https://www.vipkid.com/teach?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=what-are-2021s-top-small-businesses-2716718" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">VIPKid</a>.&nbsp;College prep courses are always a valuable resource for students, and IBISWorld.com recently <a href="https://www.ibisworld.com/industry-statistics/market-size/testing-educational-support-united-states/">reported</a> the size of the testing and educational support industry in 2021 is $17.9 billion. Focus on specific tests like the ACT or SAT and advertise services to high school seniors.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h4>Cleaning Service</h4>Overhead for a cleaning service is minimal. All that’s necessary is a mode of transportation, cleaning supplies and someone to use them. The <a href="https://www.thumbtack.com/p/house-cleaning-prices?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=what-are-2021s-top-small-businesses-2716718" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">national average</a> for house cleaning is $40 to $65 per hour, per cleaner. Consider cleaning everything from one-bedroom apartments to commercial buildings, if the price is right and the cleaning products are plentiful.&nbsp;<h4>Content and Copywriting</h4>Bill Gates knew what he was talking about when he said “content is king” way back in 1996, and that still <a href="https://socialplanner.io/blog/content-is-king/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=what-are-2021s-top-small-businesses-2716718" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">rings true</a> today. Any company or influencer with an internet presence needs content or copywriting, and there are countless <a href="https://remote.co/remote-jobs/writing/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=what-are-2021s-top-small-businesses-2716718" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">websites</a> and Facebook groups to connect freelance writers with customers.&nbsp;<h4>Meals-To-Go Service or Food Truck</h4>When COVID shut down most indoor dining, food trucks <a href="https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2020/09/food-trucks-one-way-to-eat-out-during-pandemic.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=what-are-2021s-top-small-businesses-2716718" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">endured</a>. Customers can visit in an outdoor setting and socialize at a distance.&nbsp;Another food-related option for anyone with talent in the kitchen is a meal-to-go service. Sure, there are the big names like Blue Apron and Hello Fresh. But local home cooks or trained chefs interested in additional income can find resources to start their own to-go service. Check out <a href="https://www.thekitchendoor.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=what-are-2021s-top-small-businesses-2716718" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">The Kitchen Door</a> for a listing of shared-use kitchens to collaborate with other like-minded chefs.&nbsp;<h4>Dropshipping</h4>An entrepreneur interested in dropshipping would be able to run an e-commerce site without actually keeping any physical products in stock. Instead, they’d set up an online store and partner with suppliers who keep everything in stock and then ship to customers. Search “dropshipping” in a mobile device’s app store to find helpful apps, like <a href="https://apps.shopify.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=what-are-2021s-top-small-businesses-2716718" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Shopify</a>, to get started in this field.<h4>Photographer</h4>After many people postponed weddings and important events due to the pandemic, the industry is now <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/13/business/economy/coronavirus-weddings-economy-.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=what-are-2021s-top-small-businesses-2716718" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">booming</a> in 2021, creating a heightened demand for wedding vendors. As far as vendors go, the photographer is typically going to be the most mobile and have the least amount of overhead, needing only a camera and a car to get them to the venue on time. Or skip the weddings and just get out and about with a camera, taking photos of everything and anything. Stock photo websites like <a href="https://submit.shutterstock.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=what-are-2021s-top-small-businesses-2716718" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Shutterstock</a> will pay royalty fees for downloads from their platform.&nbsp;<h4>Gardening or Landscape Service</h4>Homeowners interested in gardening and lawn care hit <a href="https://axiomcom.com/2021-garden-survey/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=what-are-2021s-top-small-businesses-2716718#:~:text=The%20spring%20and%20summer%20of,to%20continue%20gardening%20in%202021." target="_blank" rel="nofollow">record numbers</a> in the spring and summer of 2020, and Axiom Marketing research showed that 86% of homeowners planned to keep gardening into 2021. Nearly half of those polled said they’d be planting more and expanding their gardens.&nbsp;Anyone with a green thumb and a passion for plants can run a flora-focused business, like teaching gardening classes or offering lawn care services.&nbsp;<h4>Pet-Sitting or Dog-Walking</h4>Pet <a href="https://www.npr.org/2021/06/06/1003713898/pet-adoption-soared-during-the-pandemic-but-now-shelters-report-overcrowding?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=what-are-2021s-top-small-businesses-2716718" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">adoption</a> hit record highs during the pandemic. Fox Business <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/american-spent-a-record-breaking-amount-on-their-pets-during-the-pandemic?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=what-are-2021s-top-small-businesses-2716718" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">reported</a> the pet industry generated $103.6 billion in annual sales in 2020. Right now, any pet-related business should prosper with demand that high. Try advertising services as a pet sitter or dog walker.

Private equity firm&nbsp;<a href="https://skylineinv.com/">Skyline Investors</a> has acquired rent-to-own franchisor&nbsp;<a href="https://buddysfranchising.com/">Buddy’s Home Furnishings</a> in a deal that signals continued investor confidence in franchise-based retail models, according to a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.retailtouchpoints.com/features/mergers-and-acquisitions/rent-to-own-franchisor-buddys-home-furnishings-purchased-by-private-equity-firm">report from Retail TouchPoints</a>. The transaction, announced Feb. 4, brings new ownership to a system of more than 220 locations across 18 states and Guam, positioning Buddy’s for its next phase of growth within the franchising sector.Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, but the acquisition reflects a broader trend of private equity firms targeting established franchise brands with recurring revenue and strong unit-level performance.

Their involvement adds financial and strategic expertise aimed at supporting capital formation, balance sheet management and disciplined expansion.For franchise operators, the deal offers potential benefits in the form of increased corporate resources, enhanced systems and renewed investment in technology and infrastructure. Private equity-backed franchisors often prioritize scalability, data-driven decision-making and operational consistency, all of which can influence franchisee performance and long-term brand stability.Skyline brings prior experience in the rent-to-own space, including investments in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.gomajik.com/">Majik Rent-to-Own</a>, which may help accelerate Buddy’s development efforts and refine its franchise support model. Company leaders say the firm’s approach is centered on partnership rather than short-term returns.“Buddy’s represents exactly the type of platform opportunity we’re built to support,”&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevintom/">Kevin Tom</a>, founder and managing partner at Skyline Investors, said in a statement. “With Buddy’s proven brand and strong franchise network, there’s a clear runway for growth.”As private equity continues to expand its footprint in franchising, deals like this highlight the sector’s appeal to institutional investors.

Finance recently reported</a>. The bankruptcy filing gives North County Pizza time to restructure its debt and reorganize its business, while pausing any legal actions against the company during the process.The Oceanside, California-based franchisee did not explain why it filed for bankruptcy or whether it plans to close locations or lay off employees. Franchisees across the restaurant industry have pointed to tough competition, higher labor and food costs, and expensive leases as reasons for restructuring or filing for bankruptcy.The franchisee filed for bankruptcy on March 11 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of California, reporting $100,000 to $1 million in assets and $1 million to $10 million in liabilities.The announcement follows recent news that&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/franchise-deep-dive-papa-johns-franchise-costs-fees-profit-and-data-2724607">Papa Johns</a> plans to close 300 underperforming restaurants, including 200 by the end of 2026, and cut 7% of its workforce.

The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.franchise.org/">International Franchise Association</a> has released its annual&nbsp;<a href="https://www.franchise.org/franchising-economic-outlook/">Franchising Economic Outlook</a> report for 2026, painting the picture for a positive year of growth after notable economic turbulence in 2025.“The resilience of franchising has enabled our model to adapt, endure and thrive in the face of challenging macroeconomic headwinds,”&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewhaller">Matt Haller</a>, IFA president and CEO, said in a release. "After a year of recalibration, franchising is better positioned to navigate an improving economic environment than independent businesses due to tax certainty, lower interest rates and investments in AI that will propel brand growth, franchisee unit-level economics and wage growth for the franchise workforce."The report features key industry projections for the year, including:<ul><li>The addition of over 12,000 new franchised businesses</li><li>The addition of over 150,000 jobs — meaning the industry will represent nearly 8.9 million jobs</li><li>An increase in total franchise GDP from $549.9 to $558.4 billion</li><li>An increase in multi-unit ownership as current single-unit franchisees pursue scale</li></ul>In addition to the strength of the industry as a whole, the organization highlighted segment-specific trends.&nbsp;<ul><li>This year, child services and commercial and residential services are recognized as top performers, expected to achieve a 3.2% year-over-year growth rate.</li><li>A focus on experiential dining, rather than value alone, may drive full-service restaurants to outpace quick-service brands in output growth.</li><li>Preventive health care has risen to be the third-largest franchised industry, and it represents strong opportunities as consumer awareness surrounding preventive health care persists.</li></ul>In terms of growth markets, Texas continues to lead the country as the fastest-growing state for franchising, followed by Florida, Georgia, Arizona and North Carolina. Michigan, Ohio and Utah have joined the top 10 this year thanks to their relative affordability and the potential they offer for market leadership and long-term growth.The outlook for 2026 is upbeat, and the drivers behind it look different than they did a few years ago. More brands are putting AI and automation to work in day-to-day operations, which helps franchisees move faster on basics like scheduling and inventory and stay tighter on margins.The growth in multi-unit ownership points to a shift in how people are approaching franchising. More operators are treating it like a scalable investment, focused on building an asset, not just buying themselves a job.As the year ramps up, IFA’s data suggests growth in 2026 will be driven by those leveraging the scale of the franchise model, embracing a tech-forward approach to business ownership, and staying agile in an evolving business landscape.Find the full 2026 Franchising Economic Outlook report&nbsp;<a href="https://www.franchise.org/franchising-economic-outlook/">here</a>.

Highlighting child services and commercial and residential services as top performers, the organization predicts the industry will add over 150,000 jobs and increase its GDP by billions this year.

How much can franchisees make? It’s a question many prospective owners ask before investing in a franchise. While earnings tend to be driven by variables such as industry, location and general management skills, a proper understanding of the key factors driving profitability can help franchise owners develop expectations that are realistic.&nbsp;Multi-unit franchisee&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/mangesh-patel-9368569/">Mangesh Patel</a>, who’s readying the launch of six&nbsp;<a href="https://www.beefobradysfranchise.com/">Beef ‘O’ Brady’s</a> restaurant locations in the Macon, Georgia area, shares insights from his franchising experience.<h2>Understanding Franchise Income</h2>Keeping operational costs in check can have a major impact on overall earnings. Taking a proactive approach to expenses such as food and labor, as well as payroll and scheduling, can help align actual franchise income with general expectations for the business.“I just had a meeting with a couple of people, and they said, ‘You talked about a 25% profit margin, but I’m only doing 12%.’ So, I looked at the figures they sent me,” Patel said. “Their&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/calculate-restaurant-franchise-profit-2730476">restaurant</a> food cost was running at 37%, which should be around 30%. The national average is about 32%. If I do things correctly, my average food cost needs to be at or below 30%. And payroll should run around 18%. But many people run 25 to 28%.”So,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/unraveling-franchise-earnings-how-much-can-you-really-make-2723935">how much can franchisees make</a>?

Overstaffing and inefficiencies can quickly reduce profits.</li><li>Plan For The Opening Surge:&nbsp;Traffic within the first few months of opening is likely to be higher. It’s important to adjust staffing and inventory accordingly, and pay close attention to how those levels change as time goes on.</li><li>Invest In Training:&nbsp;Properly trained workers can help reduce waste and improve overall service, which has a direct effect on net income.</li><li>Understand Your Market:&nbsp;Each market is unique and revenue potential will vary depending upon location, demographics and competition.</li><li>Track Metrics Regularly:&nbsp;Food cost percentages, labor ratios and weekly sales data act as key indicators operations may need to be adjusted.</li></ol><h2>What Profitability Really Comes Down To</h2>Patel notes that if franchise owners manage labor and costs properly, it’s not impossible to achieve strong cash flow even in the first year, bucking some franchising trends.So,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/how-much-can-you-make-as-a-franchise-owner-2724761">how much can franchisees make</a>?
