When looking for a franchise opportunity, many people would like to own a business that does something unique and exciting. Even aside from matters of competition and market over-saturation, doing the same old thing is a little boring. For those who would like to take on a business that hits a very specific industry need, eradicating the problems of over-saturation and boredom simultaneously, here is a list of some of the best niche-market business opportunities that are somewhat off the beaten path.

Re-Bath
There are many remodelling companies in the world, but few narrow themselves down to a single room of the house. Re-Bath does just that, concentrating only on the expert remodelling of residential and commercial bathrooms. This franchise believes in two standards upon which the operation is founded: one, the bathroom should be the most beautiful and relaxing room in the house, and two, the act of remodelling a bathroom should not disrupt the peace of the rest of the home. With those two things in mind, Re-Bath provides gorgeous remodels with the least obtrusive work method in the industry, making for very happy clients.

StageAbility
Few franchises specialize in acting, perhaps even fewer specialize in youth acting, but StageAbility is one of the best. Anyone up to 24-years-of-age can join in on weekly after-school acting, singing, and dance lessons at the franchisees' performing arts schools. The best part for the franchisees is that although performance experience is helpful, a StageAbility owner does not have to act or teach dance to run the business; all they have to do is use the franchisor's knowledge to gather a team of arts educators to do the training while they administrate.

Mad Science
Whether the venue is a science classroom or a birthday party, Mad Science franchisees have the specialized task of making science education fun. Whether you work from home or open a retail location, performance and marketing are the two biggest parts of this niche education business. In order to rustle up business, franchisees are trained in all the best ways to advertise and build relationships with nearby schools and other education facilities, so that their entertainment skills can be put to use for local kids. Territories are protected, overhead is very low, and profit margins can be upwards of 80% per performance. Best of all, kids love it.

Villa Marine Lifestyles
Without having to know any HTML, CSS, PHP or a slew of other confusing acronyms, a Villa Marine Lifestyles home based business owner enjoys the freedom of operating his own website that specializes in the rental and sales of yachts, marina villas, and virtually anything that clients want to post. Essentially, franchisees let space on the internet for owners to list high end boats and yachts, and revenues come from anyone and everyone that advertises on the site. There is nothing to sell but ad space, and everything is done from the comfort of a personal computer.

Colourfence
With the object of their work right in the name, there is little question which niche market Colourfence specializes in: fences. Surprisingly, boundary fences are a very profitable product, amounting to a £500mil annual industry, and with the tried and true practices and high-tensile steel product that Colourfence provides, nearly anyone with the physical abilities to install a fence can quickly attain business success. The fences need no maintenance and are aesthetically pleasing, and with the initial two week training, franchisees have no problem selling their product.

XTC Discos
If you are a natural party-lover, this is a one-of-a-kind home business opportunity that is perfect for you, because it is the only franchise business that specializes in mobile dance parties. Clients call XTC Discos when they want to have a party but are in need of a dance floor, music, and lighting, all of which, XTC Discos franchisees carry around in the back of their vans. Training for this unique business is comprehensive and ongoing, and the franchisor creates a customized training pace for every franchisee, not pressing ahead until the franchisee is comfortable to take the step into independent business. Since most work takes place on weekends, this is one work at home franchise that leaves plenty of time for the rest of life.

Allergy Test UK
In the last 20 years, reports say that the demand for allergy tests has gone up 300%. Simply put, the NHS cannot keep up with the number of allergy test requests, even though many people need them. For this reason, Allergy Test UK is not just a profitable and plausible business model, but one that serves a very real need, actively helping the health and well being of people of the UK. There are only two things that successful franchisees with this business must exhibit: empathy for patients and the ability to run a business and conduct daily operations. Any franchisee bringing those two pieces to the table can be taught everything else in the initial training and by the ongoing support team.
