Found the Small business for sale by a fluke, and got a little confused.
It’s a rather nice site, listing different franchise business opportunities (so the name is a bit misleading), you just enter an industry, how much you’re prepared to invest and where you want to set up shop, and they find a franchise that suits you.
But what caught my eye was…
Welcome to SmallBusinessSale.com, owned and operated by Microsoft Corporation.
a template leftover or something left behind from the design, and in my eyes not playing in favor of them, so I had to investigate.
The cool thing is that it’s true!
SBS is operated by Franchise Gator, which is owned by aQuantive, which is in turn a fully owned subsidiary of Microsoft!
Although they got the site(s) when they acquired aQuantive, if find it amusing that Microsoft is in to the franchise business…
