Use Your IRA/401K
to Fund Your Business
  
dollar 
If you have retirement funds that you have not yet paid taxes on, you can access those funds to capitalize a business. You can then use those funds to buy a business, for any business expense, and to pay salary!

 

You are in control, you decide how much of your retirement funds you wish to use for the business. When working with a company that specializes in this funding option, and follows all of the IRS guidelines, you are able to buy a business Debt Free and Equity Rich (from the rollover of your IRA/401K funds). Additionally, you'll have a new 401K/Profit Sharing Plan that you can begin to contribute Tax Deferred.

The European, upscale, urban design and feel of the VOM FASS stores is  warm and inviting so customers want to engage, learn and buy their products. VOM FASS focuses on the largest, freshest bulk selection of natural and organic culinary oils and fruit and balsamic vinegars, selected wines, and exclusive spirits direct from the cask. The products are so amazing because they are sealed in patented, airtight containers and shipped fresh from around the world, ensuring they come in contact with air and sunlight only at the moment of tasting or bottling. Customers get to taste the products, make their product selections, then the staff dispenses the product into the type and size of bottles that the customer chooses. This is an environmentally responsible way to package product because customers bring back the empty bottles to be refilled.

 

For people attracted to the restaurant business, VOM FASS is actually much simpler and more affordable, less employees and fewer moving parts. Their Franchise owners also create new customer experiences with culinary workshops, private tastings, food festival sales, and partnerships with local restaurants. As a VOM FASS franchise partner, they will walk with you step by step to ensure you reap the rewards of your investment. As a member of the exclusive group of shop owners, you will benefit from and profit by their years of experience and expertise in creating an internationally renowned franchise concept.

Some franchises have opportunities known as Master or Regional Developers. This involves the development of a geographic region that can be as small as a portion of a state or as large as an entire state. You purchase the right to develop a designated area and share in the franchise fees and royalties with the franchisor. You work closely with commercial real estate agents, business brokers and consultants in the development of your area. The investment needed to secure a Master or Regional Developer opportunity can start as low as $150K depending on the franchise and geographic area.
