The Best kept secret in business today!
This system is one of the best kept secrets in business ownership today. It gives business owners the ability to develop a large business within a short period of time. Recent surveys show that these owners earn yearly incomes of $150,000 to over $1,000,000 per year, while building an increased net worth and developing equity of $500,000 to $10,000,000 and more. Best of all, the success rate is probably even higher than the 97% success rate reported by multiple unit franchisees.
The Master franchise concept.
Imagine coming up with the idea for a new franchise concept that explodes in your area with dozens of new units opening up. Imagine having control of this concept and receiving royalties and franchise fees on a consistent basis.
The best opportunities are often those with brand names that you may not recognize... at first. Have you ever thought about what it would have been like to be a "ground floor" franchisee for McDonald's? Imagine having an idea that exploded into a business with people clamoring to buy your franchise. Imagine having successful entrepreneurs with proven expertise and a time-tested business system available to share advice and help make your dreams a reality.
This unique and powerful business concept is called "Master" franchising. As a Master, you receive the many benefits mentioned above. The Master becomes somewhat of a sub-franchisor for an exclusive territory that is most likely to be a large metropolitan area, an entire state, several states or even a country.
A rare opportunity.
Because relatively few franchisors offer Master franchise opportunities, the ones that become available usually sell quickly. Click here to see if there is a Master franchise in your future.
A pathway to wealth creation.
According to many experts, a Master franchise usually has two to three times the earning power of a normal franchise. While a normal franchise makes money operating units, a Master franchise generates income several ways. These include:
- Operating Units. The Master will usually set up and operate at least one unit that is also used as a training center. Although this person is not likely to be a "hands on" owner, the operating units can be more profitable due to the greatly reduced franchise fee and royalty.
- Franchise Fees. When you sell a franchise, you receive a franchise fee. Most franchise fees run between $20,000 to $30,000 and, in a typical Master franchise program, you keep up to half of the fee.
- Royalties. You receive royalty income or annuity type income for the life of the franchises that operate in your exclusive territory. Imagine making 2% to 4% on every sale in your territory.
- Products or Additional Services. There may be additional income available from distribution of products through the franchisees in your area.
- Turnkey Unit Development. There may be opportunities to sell single or multiple franchise units and make a nice profit on the sale.
- Real Estate. There may be additional income available from real estate interests.
The income available from a Master franchise is extremely lucrative.
A very prestigious business.
The prestige of owning a Master franchise and controlling an entire regional area can give you great satisfaction. Your main job will be to act as a business consultant to your franchisees and help them succeed in their own businesses. As the main developer of an area, you will be associated with the growth and ever increasing brand awareness of the franchise -- even though your franchisees are the ones who are investing their time and money.
An improved quality of life.
Unlike any other business system, Master franchise owners are empowered with the ability to turn their dreams into reality. As a result, they most often achieve greater financial freedom, personal prestige, a privileged lifestyle and the ability to help others. This, together with having time to relax and enjoy family and friends, leads to a greatly improved quality of life.
Listed below are key characteristics of a typical Master franchise:
- Very Few Customers. Your customers are your franchisees. You will help support a small number of franchisees who typically own several franchise units each.
- Very Few Employees. Typically, you will operate a Master franchise by yourself and then expand to add more staff. It is not unusual for Masters, after having worked for 3 to 7 years, to semi-retire and live off an extremely good income while spending only 1-2 days a month in the office.
- Very Little Office Space. Many Masters start with a home office before expanding to an outside office.
- Build Equity Faster. Once you sell a few franchises or open your own stores, you increase the value of your business significantly. Not only do you have an existing business with cash flow, you have additional franchise opportunities to sell.
- Low Overhead. Start with a home office and expand as you go.
- Exclusive Territory. Your exclusive territory is most likely to be a large metropolitan area, an entire state or even several states or country.
- More Freedom. Unlike a normal franchise, a Master franchise allows you much more flexibility.
- No Experience Needed. You will receive industry specific training and ongoing support.
- Best Of All... It's A Franchise! Franchises as a whole enjoy a 92% success rate and Master franchises experience even greater success.
A Master will seldom work "hands on" in a unit franchise. They primarily function as business consultant or coach to their franchisees.
Do you have what it takes?
The franchisor will usually grant the territory to someone or some group with the following qualifications:
- Management and/or sales experience. Real life experience running a business or managing a business for someone else is very helpful but not essential.
- Good people skills. You will be dealing with your franchisees and will need to treat them like customers.
- The ability and desire to follow a proven system. The franchise system offered is a system for success when followed. It is not wise to buy a franchise unless you believe you can follow their system.
- Financially qualified. The fee to purchase the rights to a Master franchise territory typically ranges from $100,000 to $250,000. You should also have the capital required to open open and operate at least one unit (pilot location) and support your operation until you can begin to make money.
Because of the high income potential, the initial investment is really quite low compared to the value that is likely to be built.
The Top RIO and Success Rate.
If you analyzed all possible investments, they would fall into two main categories. The first category is financial instruments. This includes stocks, bonds, etc. The second category includes real estate and businesses.
| The Type of Investment | Success Rate | Return on Investment |
| Real Estate | ? | 25-75% |
| New Unaffiliated Business | 20-25% | 10-40% |
| Existing Unaffiliated Business | 55-65% | 40-75% |
| New Franchise Business | 92-97% | 113-143% |
During the past 75 years, the stock market has been the best performing financial instrument with 12% average annual return. On an overall basis, however, franchised businesses have achieved the highest return on investment and the best rate of success.
More profitable. More successful.
The typical franchise is more profitable and successful than an unaffiliated business. Franchising as a whole has a 92% success rate for business owners. For franchisees who own multiple units, the rate goes up to 97%.
Increased market share equals increased profits and franchising is the best way to gain market share. For example, although retail franchise businesses represent only 8.3% of the businesses on the street, the sales from those franchises represent 40.9% of the total retail sales in the United States.
As a result of their extensive surveys, the International Franchise Association tells us that:
- 93% of the franchisees say that a franchise gives them an advantage
- 88% recommend a franchise over a non-franchised business
- 83% are happy with their franchise
- 65% would purchase the same franchise over again
- In 2004, average yearly net income for a franchisee was $91,630.
- In 2004, the average net income for a single unit franchise was $76,000.
- In 2004, the average net income for a multi-unit franchise was $142,000!
In his best selling book, Megatrends, John Naisbitt describes franchising as "the single most successful marketing strategy ever." Click here to see how this success is confirmed by the results of surveys conducted on behalf of The United States Chamber of Commerce, U.S. Department of Commerce and U.S. Small Business Administration.
