AUSTIN, Texas – CMIT Solutions announced today that it has been named to Entrepreneur Magazine’s 2016 Franchise 500® list, considered the “best and most comprehensive franchise ranking” in the industry.

We’re focused on continuing our growth, and that means satisfying the intense IT needs of our clients while expanding into new markets in the US and Canada.”

CMIT Solutions’ franchise offices are independently owned and operated.

Today, CMIT Solutions has more than 150 operating territories in North America.
Entrepreneurially spirited individuals interested in owning a CMIT Solutions franchise should have the ability to invest between $125,000 to $175,000, which includes working capital and a typical franchise fee of $49,950-$60,000.
