First thing you'll need is lots of cash upfront (moreso if it's a franchise).

Internet cafes are closing down at a rapid rate. Even EasyInternet (or whagtever Stelio's business is called) is closing down/reducing the size of branches....

Who go's to internet cafe's?Everyone has it at home now.

Also, what are you experienced in to date? Sales? Marketing? Manual? Technical? Retail?

You'd want to hopefully draw on your areas of expertise gained already in your working life to date.

If you're an ex-firefighter, it might be an idea to go down the Health & Safety route. Company public/employers liability insurances are currently sky-high and consequently there's a lot of H&S paranoia about, therefore H&S consulting is doing pretty well at the moment. Enrol on a NEBOSH course & charge companies thousands for knocking up Safety Manuals / Risk Assessments, etc. Your firefighting background should be a good basis as I imagine you will be pretty clued up about fire prevention & risk reduction.

[edit] though it might be a good idea to learn that apostrophes are used in the possessive and not plural sense (for when you're writing the manuals obviously) !
