1. THIS OPPORTUNITY OFFERS THE ABSOLUTELY HIGHEST VALIDATION WE HAVE EVER SEEN IN THE FRANCHISING INDUSTRY. OVER 70% OF THEIR NEW FRANCHISEES LAST YEAR CAME THROUGH REFERRALS FROM THEIR EXISTING FRANCHISEES. OUR TOP SELLER: If you have $40K liquid ..... plus good credit .... don't make the mistake of not investigating this business. We have been told that several of their corporate employees, including a director of franchising, left their positions to buy one of their company's franchises. This is unheard of in the franchising industry. We have heard more than once that if you call their franchisees ..... you will buy. Not surprisingly, they have sold over 1,140 franchises. Without question they are one of the most awarded franchises in history. This is a low cost, high potential, service business that, if you desire, can be operated from your home. Their core business is the billion dollar insurance disaster restoration industry. Now don't be confused ..... they are not in reconstruction of damaged homes ..... they are in the restoration of items that can be restored rather than replaced. In our opinion this appears to be the easiest and most profitable end of the restoration business. Let us explain ..... It is our understanding that approximately 1 out of every 16 homes experience some form of fire or water damage every year. One of the first things a home owner does is call their insurance company for help. They have a corporate national account building team working to continually build & maintain relationships with the insurance community. Insurance companies across the nation rely on this company as one of their primary restoration companies. Up to eighty percent of the business that this company's franchisees do is insurance work. They restore property damaged by fire, smoke and water (floors, floor coverings, furniture, walls, ceilings, drapes, clothes, furniture, etc.) to it's original condition ..... without having to replace it. They are not in the construction business ..... they are in the restoration business. They have state of the art equipment for removing water, stains, mold, mildew and odors. When they are not doing insurance work they are building or maintaining other areas of their commercial and residential business to include duct cleaning. Duct cleaning is the next huge service that is spreading like wildfire across the nation. When you totally understand all of the potential sources of business you can add to your bread and butter insurance work ..... the investment versus opportunity ratio becomes extremely hard to duplicate. A conversation with their franchisees will quickly confirm this. Profile: They looking for people with management and/or sales experience that have the ability to follow a proven system. Financial Qualifications: $40K Liquid Capital plus approved credit required. With a $15K down payment and $25K as liquid working capital - the company will finance the balance of the $66,500 purchase price. They also offer financing (with approved credit) for the additional van requirement.

2. YOU CAN KEEP YOUR FULL TIME JOB WITH THIS ONE AND DEVELOP MULTIPLE UNITS IF YOU DESIRE. NUMBER CRUNCHERS (INCLUDING CPA) AND THOSE THAT HAVE OWNED OTHER BUSINESSES ARE ATTRACTED TO THIS ONE (MASTER FRANCHISES AVAILABLE). Consistently ranked among top opportunities in franchise industry. Some franchisees own in excess of 30 units. They apparently feel so confident about their operating format they will allow you to keep the security of your full-time job if you desire. All units are manager run ..... meaning owner can manage multiple units arms length. Cash business with no receivables and little inventory. Recession-resistant business with built in demand and repeat business in a $50 billion dollar industry. The franchisor will share extremely impressive numbers with you on their existing franchisees. You will quickly see why "Number Crunchers" are buying this one. This franchise offers a necessity service ..... HAIR CUTTING AND STYLING. They have been franchising since 1983 and have over 1,700 locations. OWNER PROFILE: Good management / people skills .....a lot of executives have bought .... with majority being men ......but women that have purchased have made terrific owners. Financial Qualifications: Net worth 250k, 150k Liquid (retirement funds do not count, only 50% of equity will count) Possible to finance with $75K cash ..... you will be encouraged to develop multiple units.

3. NEVER EXPERIENCED A FAILURE??? WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE FOLLOWING COMPANY HAS OVER 110 FRANCHISE UNITS IN 14 STATES, HAS BEEN IN OPERATION FOR OVER 9 YEARS, AND HAS NEVER EXPERIENCED A FAILURE ..... AND THAT IT IS NOT UNCOMMON TO HEAR THEIR FRANCHISEES INDICATE THAT THEY ARE ACTUALLY EXCEEDING THEIR INITIAL EXPECTATIONS. IF THIS IS ACCURATE ..... THIS TRULY IS THE EPITOME OF LOW RISK !!!! In Success Magazine's Gold 100 Franchises ......they were ranked #12 .... remember, there are over 3,000 different franchises available today. The Franchisor will provide you with earnings claims that will validate the earnings potential ..... Plus a list of all of their franchisees to call. This will allow you to very quickly determine if the above is true and if their opportunity meets your financial requirements. We have heard what their existing franchisees are making .....and it is impressive. They have obviously figured out how to tap into the needs of their demographics. They are in the money businesses .... one that is often referred to as a "cash cow" industry. They provide CHECK CASHING & FINANCIAL/BUSINESS SERVICES to a select target market (see description below).

THE NEED AND DEMAND: In the past, most people thought of check cashers as a bank that only serviced low income areas. Today that image is changing. Their customer base includes middle class blue and white collar workers, senior citizens, local and state government employees, and local business workers. They state that 20 to 30% of Americans have no formal banking relationship ..... and need a service like theirs to cash their payroll checks and give them immediate access to the cash they need. Apparently there is an astonishing rate of repeat business in this industry. Even those Americans with established banking patterns are starting to discover the convenience of a Check Cashing Bank. PROFILE: They are looking for people with corporate and entrepreneurial backgrounds that understand the importance of customer service and the necessity of following a proven program. Banking and finance is a bonus but not necessary. Financial Qualifications:  SBA will finance if you have $75K liquid,  good credit and net worth of $450K, total investment of $150K to $180K

4. ONE OF THE FEW AUTHENTIC SBA APPROVED FRANCHISORS: I challenge the competition to go head to head with these guys. They are willing to provide you actual sales and earnings numbers provided from their existing franchisees. Wait till you see these numbers. If you have never thought about investigating the Auto After Market Industry ...... perhaps you should! It is a growing industry .... there are more cars on the road every year ..... we drive more now then we ever have ..... and rising car prices are forcing people to keep their cars longer (average today is 9 years old ..... the oldest it's ever been in the history of car making). This company repairs one of the most expensive problems in the industry ..... transmission problems. Even though a significant number of their customers are in a situation where they need to be towed ..... this company's mission has been to treat customers with fairness, honest and integrity. This attitude has won them the "Better Business Bureau Ethics in Business Award". You can start with as few as 3 employees: A center manager and two professional career oriented technicians. These are generally family oriented people that earn high incomes .... not the high turnover, minimum wage labor required by most franchises. You will be open only 5 1/2 days a week .... no nights. Let your manager work the 1/2 day on Saturday. PROFILE: MECHANICAL EXPERIENCE IS NOT NECESSARY: They are looking for people with good interpersonal and business skills.
