COMPUTER TROUBLESHOOTERS
RANKED TOP COMPUTER REPAIR FRANCHISE

LOUISVILLE, KY (January 10, 2008) – Computer Troubleshooters USA has been named a leading franchise in the January 2008 edition of Entrepreneur. The respected business publication ranked Computer Troubleshooters as the top technology support franchise.

Entrepreneur recently released its 29^th annual list of the 500 hottest franchises. Computer Troubleshooters placed 251^st overall, higher than any other computer repair, support, sales and technology consulting organization. More than 800 franchises requested inclusion in the magazine’s 29^th Annual Franchise 500 list.

Computer Troubleshooters, which is represented in the Louisville area by Erik Eckel, was founded in 1997. Services range from onsite and remote support services on demand to monthly monitoring and service plans, virus and spyware remediation and protection, Web development and more. Computer Troubleshooters also offers the world’s only “No-Downtime-Guarantee” for customers on their BEST service plan. Whether computer problems are hardware- or software-related, Computer Troubleshooters technicians work to solve client problems.

 “That’s what we do,” says Eckel. “The Computer Troubleshooters national office develops advertising and marketing efforts, builds strong strategic vendor relationships and designs effective operational systems that free me to concentrate on solving my client’s computer problems.”

Entrepreneur bases its franchise rankings on several factors. The magazine uses the same criteria for each listing: objective, quantifiable measures of franchise operations. The magazine also factors an organization’s financial strength and stability, growth and system size into its formula.

“Computer Troubleshooters’ commitment to customer satisfaction and proven operations methods and business systems powers our success,” says Computer Troubleshooters USA National Director Chip Reaves. “We believe our efforts to ensure Computer Troubleshooters offices are well prepared to compete in the technology sector and manage its inevitable changes are what help maintain our consistently high Entrepreneur ranking year after year.”
