One career recently highlighted by the International Franchise Association is a smart choice for 2012 — senior home care franchising.

The International Franchise Association has ranked the Home Instead Senior Care network among the top 12 premium franchise systems under $50,000. And together with the Small Business Administration, the Home Instead Senior Care network offers would-be franchise owners tips on what to consider before buying a franchise.
