This franchise helps businesses make decisions about telecom services and products. They only charge the client a fee if they save the client money, which makes client acquisition an easy process. 

 

The franchisees are independent of all suppliers of telecom - no commissions, residuals, or kickbacks from suppliers. They always look out for the client's best interest. Quick (ROI) Return On Investment- low cash investment, revenue driven business, and can be operated from home or office. Franchisees can do business anywhere in North America. This is an ideal franchise for executives.

 

The basic service, referred to as Existing Systems Review, is really quite simple. You review all the services and equipment that a business client uses to communicate.  Once completed, the professional report summarizing the services received and costs incurred is given to the client. You then advise the client about how to recover overpayments and how to receive equal or improved service for less expense. The client's fee is an equal portion of the savings for a specified period of time.

 

During the term of the contract with the client, you will continue to evaluate their needs and bring forward additional recommendations that create additional savings for the client. Ultimately, you're creating a recurring revenue stream with your existing clientele.

Franchise Within Fastest Growing Industry
Cash needed: $50K
Total Investment: $250K
  

Health & Wellness is the fastest growing segment in business today. Americans (and especially aging Baby Boomers) spend more on health and anti-aging products than ever before. Consumers are spending over six billion dollars a year on massage therapy! The percentage of Americans using massage therapy has doubled since 1998. Doctors now recognize massage as a legitimate medical treatment. There is immense awareness of the effects of stress and the link between stress and disease. This is the time to get into the health and wellness industry.

 

The business model is designed to instill and maintain consumer loyalty, standards for superior customer service are exceptional. Clients always feel welcomed and pampered. The franchisor's concept was born from intense research of the rapidly emerging massage industry. The massage business is changing at an ever fast pace. Typically, most communities have facilities offering an add-on of massage therapy to existing businesses. Generally, these businesses are female oriented and have a very limited selection of available appointments per day. This franshise has changed the typical concept of massage.

 

The business plan is simple. Centers are located in convenient locations, while offering thousands of available time slots per month. They offer affordable pricing, and pay particular attention to having a non-intimidating and gender neutral environment. Centers have between 10 and 14 rooms, are open 7 days a week with extended daily hours; giving your clients an affordable, convenient, comfortable massage everyday!

 

Here are some key aspects to their business model:

 

*Recurring monthly membership dues.

*Affordable and attractive price point for the general public.

*Allowing walk-in appointments at anytime.

*The flexibility of offering a 30, 60, and 90 minute massage to fit their lifestyle.

*A center layout that is attractive for both men and women.

*Having the ability to offer the client either a male or female massage therapist.

*Locations set in convenient surroundings, always making it easy to fit a massage into the customer's daily schedule.

*Web based software allowing our clients to book their own appointments online.
