Use Your IRA/401K
to Fund Your Business
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.
To learn more about this option, call Diane Rosenkrantz with

The Fear Factor of Buying a Franchise
Buying a franchise is one of the biggest decisions you will ever make, so feeling fear is not only normal, it is entirely appropriate to the situation.
Who has fear? Everyone! Fear prevents us (most of us, anyway) from jumping out of a moving car or going over a waterfall in a barrel. Fear helps us make choices that are less likely to endanger our lives. Fear also prevents us from gambling our life's savings on a horse race or marrying someone we've known only a few days.
However, when we feel we have enough information about a subject, we can often get over fear and do things that were beyond our comfort zone.
If you are one of those people who has done your homework and found the franchise opportunity you've always dreamed of but can't seem to commit to a decision, then the final doubts you have are probably about your own abilities rather than the franchise itself.
This is where a qualified franchise consultant can help you. By assessing your interests, skills and experience, a consultant can guide you to a decision where risks are at an acceptable level and the benefits, while not certain, are well worth the effort.
The only problem with fear is when you allow it to stop you from doing something you know will make a positive difference in your life. Don't let fear stop you from reaching your goals! | | |

Zoup!
Cash Needed: $150K
Total Investment: $350K
Zoup! began in 1997 as an idea the company's founders pondered as they were building their first soup-related food service business. That original company, which manufactured and distributed wholesale soup and spice products, gave the partners kitchen-door access to some of the top chefs and managers at hundreds of restaurants. And it gave them the chance to confirm what they suspected all along...First, that good soup, really good soup was hard to find. Second, that soup has powerful intangible qualities that elicit feelings of comfort, warmth and well-being for many people. And third, that there was a strong demand in the marketplace for the kind of authentic, hand-crafted, fresh soups that customers love to eat, but seldom cook for themselves.
Encouraged by the enthusiasm of the many chefs they spoke to, and armed with their industry experience and passion for soup, the founders teamed up with a talented chef who understood their aspirations and believed in the strength of their concept. Then they got to work on the careful trial-and-error process that involved hundreds of recipes, and weekly group tastings in which scores of participants completed formal evaluations of each potential recipe.
It was this two-year process that, ultimately, yielded Zoup!'s hundreds of exclusive soup recipes, and that made way for the company's category-defining quick-casual concept. And with this important piece of the puzzle in place, the partners sold their original business and turned their attentions full-time to rolling out the Zoup! concept.
Franchisees Benefit from a Strong Brand in a Fast-Growing Segment. With the same "Everything Matters" philosophy that ensures quality, satisfaction and convenience for their customers, Zoup! has created the infrastructure, systems and support programs that give franchisees the tools they need to build their own successful businesses.

- Strong niche positioning consistent with consumer preferences.
- Low cost of entry relative to other food franchise concepts.
- Single units and, for qualified candidates, multiple units/semi-absentee operation gives candidates greater financial flexibility and security.
- Simplified menu items require little prep and allow for a "front of house" focus.
- Availability of great territories.
- Proprietary web-based POS (Point of Sale) system.
- Z!Net business management system tracks and drives franchisees' productivity and profitability.
- Fast-Casual segment is the fastest growing in the restaurant industry.

What is a Master Franchise?
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.
