Q. What Is
Franchising?
A. A franchise is a "business in a
box" concept. Typically, everything is provided for the
Franchisee including a proven product/service, branding,
market and demographic studies, territory in most cases,
advertising, training, equipment if needed, supplies,
on-going support and anything other material things needed
for the business to be successful. A Franchisor licenses its
trademark and proven business methods to a Franchisee in
exchange for an initial investment and, in most cases,
on-going royalties which are usually expressed as a
percentage of one's gross revenues. |

Q. How Can Franchise
Consultants Group Provide Their Valuable Services At No Cost To
Me?
A. At no time do we ever charge you for our
services. Our Franchisors pay us a Referral Fee for introducing
you to them. They expect us to present only well qualified
individuals with a serious interest in their concept, which
saves them a tremendous amount of time and money. We act very
similar to an Employment Agency that introduces qualified
candidates to an Employer with a job opening. This does not
result in you paying one cent more for a franchise than if you
were to approach a Franchisor directly. |

Q. Why Should I Work With
A Franchise Consultants Group Consultant?
A. Our team of experienced and respected
Consultants will save you valuable time and money in your search
process and will be able to introduce you to several franchises,
many of which you may not be aware. You will not waste your time
looking at franchises in which you have no interest or don't
financially qualify. Our Consultants are not salespeople and
will never attempt to "push" you to buy anything. The
decision to buy must be yours, and yours alone. Think of the
role a Realtor plays in assisting you with buying a property and
you'll understand the role Franchise Consultants play in helping
their Clients find the "right" franchise for them. |
|
|
Q. Will I Pay More For A
Franchise If I Work With Franchise Consultants Group?
A. Never!! Franchisors are bound by the
prices they quote in their Disclosure Documents. They are not
allowed, by the FTC, to discriminate by charging different
people different prices. In fact, you'll save money as explained
in the preceding answer. |

Q. To What Types Of
Franchises Does Franchise Consultants Group have access?
A. Our inventory consists of a vast array
of franchises in a wide variety of industries - from Home Based
businesses to small, medium and large storefront operations.

established, others are newly emerging with "hot"
concepts. We have something for everyone. |

Q. How Does Franchise
Consultants Group Differ From Other Franchise Consulting
Companies?
A. We offer every service to you that other
Consultants will promise to perform. However, we will also offer
you services that no other Consultant will be willing to perform
for you. If you decide to buy a franchise introduced to you by
Franchise Consultants Group and you request our assistance, we
will help you with your due diligence process including
arranging legal representation by a Franchise Attorney and we
will offer to reimburse you for any and all fees you are
charged. In other words, we will help you to protect your
investment before you make it. |

Q. Why Does It Make Sense
To Buy A Franchise?
A. The chances of success with a franchise
are far greater than with starting up a business on your own.
92% of franchises are still operational 5 years later while 80%
of start-ups fail in their first 2 years of operation.
- Business ownership typically provides more security and
earning potential than working to help someone else retire
wealthy.
- You will take control of your future and have something of
value to leave your loved ones
- You will be in business FOR yourself but not BY yourself.
On-going support will only be a phone call or email away.
- Franchise opportunities are available to citizens as well as
newly immigrated persons. |
