April 16, 2008 - ATLANTA – Dick Duvall of Berryville, Virginia today shared his story of entrepreneurial success using Franchise Gator. Through www.franchisegator.com, Duvall was able to find a franchise that met his needs in owning his own business.

In the fall of 2006, after selling his retail business which had seen many ups and downs, Duvall was in search of a franchise opportunity. After researching a variety of franchises, he came across www.franchisegator.com. The website featured a particular franchise that caught his attention, Guard-A-Kid.

Duvall learned Guard-A-Kid would give him the liberty to work from home, allowing him more time to spend with his family. Additionally, the Guard-A-Kind franchise offered Duvall the freedom to work at the pace adequate for his lifestyle, an important factor he considered when searching for a business.

Having started owned his own business in the past, Duvall opted for a franchise because he understood the many benefits, support network and proven track record franchising provides. Because of www.franchisegator.com, Duvall found and franchised his own successful branch of Guard-A-Kid.
