“What’s contained in this report could be the most important information you’ve ever read for creating true financial security and exponential growth of your income, even if you aren’t the one doing all the work!”
Kevin Pattah
Director, Franchise Development
You’ve probably noticed that everywhere you look today, you see FRANCHISES!
With no slow down of this business model in site, it’s no wonder smart business people across the country are turning to Franchising as a way to succeed in today’s marketplace.
In fact, financial experts have said that franchising is the “wave of the future.”
In the next 10 years, Franchising could comprise OVER 50% of all retail businesses. But, this growth should be no surprise based on the simple logic of the Franchise concept.
Franchising offers SUCCESS, with the least amount of risk, to aspiring business owners.
When I started my first business, Grocery Market, I was constantly struggling. I was struggling to attract prospects, and struggling to keep myself feeling like I was on the right track. I spent all my time trying to figure out how to market myself effectively, and then after that I was trying to keep the clients I did have coming back to me for more. Notice I’m using the struggle word “trying.” Overall, my business growth was SLOW, especially compared to how much and how hard I was working each week. It was really taking a toll on me.
Let’s face it. It is a real challenge to join in the business world today.
That is, if you don’t have a properly Franchised system behind you.
That’s why once I learned about the concept of Franchising I latched onto it like a kid to a lollipop. I began to research and explore all the different choices and opportunities in this vast new frontier. It really is fascinating. I became immersed with learning about it, and it has paid off dearly. Not only for me, but also for my clients who I help to achieve their goals through The American Dream of business ownership.
You might be asking,
“What’s the big deal? What really separates owning a Franchise
from just starting a business myself?”
What I’ve found from my experience is that Franchises already have the systems in place that business owners need to reach their goals. On the other hand, it might take a regular business owner 10 years or more to create tested and proven systems. There’s a lot to create, from brand and marketing development, to operating budget and management structures. By owning a Franchise and adhering to their proven business model and process, you won’t lose money wasted on costly trial-and-error techniques. When you call we’ll discuss some more of these “insider secrets to success” with Franchising.
And then there’s the issue of funding your business.
By purchasing a franchise you can be pre-approved for SBA financing, and often approved for what’s called “Fast Track Financing.” This is basically the quickest and easiest type of business funding around. So instead of struggling to find all the necessary cash to start your company, I can help you get on the Fast Track and you won’t have to worry about where the money will come from. There are a few simple questions I’ll ask to learn if you qualify. It couldn’t be any easier.
“Well, I’ve heard starting a business is risky”
Sure, it might be. But compared to what? Certainly not compared to dedicating your entire life working for some corporation that is not dedicated to you. Can anyone say Enron?
The truth is that starting a franchise is 9 times more likely to be successful than someone who starts their own business from scratch. I’m sure you’ve heard these facts before,
9 out of 10 businesses fail in their first five years, while 9 out of 10 franchises are successful.
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could practically guarantee your success?
Most everybody would love to make their own schedule. And making more money than your boss doesn’t sound too bad either does it? People who own franchises have their business supporting THEM, instead of them supporting their boss’. They’re earning a positive CASH FLOW even when they aren’t there to work it. That’s what they call “living the life.”
Franchisors are a HUGE part of the American economy.
Just look at some of the facts…
Even though only 1 out of 12 businesses is a Franchise, Franchises account for nearly 50% of all retail sales in theUnited States.
The International Franchise Association reported that franchising is responsible for 760,000 businesses, 18 million jobs, and over $500 billion in payroll!
From January, 2000 to December, 2004 the Stock Index of the top 50 franchisors increased 35%, compared to a drop of 20% in the S&P 500 over the same period.
A study by The United States Chamber of Commerce found that 86% of franchises opened within the last five years were still under the same ownership and 97% of them were still open for business. How’s that for a success rate?
Total sales by franchised businesses are projected to reach over $2 trillion, this year!
With statistics like those, what has been holding you back?
Are you like many other people and simply don’t know where to start?
That’s how I felt when I began to look into owning a franchise. Aimlessly looking around on the internet and in magazines, I didn’t even know what I was looking for. There were so many choices, not to mention questions and fears I had. I felt overwhelmed. That is exactly what got me doing what I do today, because I’ve been there. I know what it’s like to want the life of owning a successful business. But, at the same time I did not want to jeopardize my future by investing into the wrong business. That’s why…
I guarantee you there is NOBODY more committed to helping you select that Perfect
Business than the people at my company, Best Franchise Now
We call it Best Franchise Now because you truly become empowered when you have an expert like us on YOUR side to help you every step of the way. Even my system is a process. It’s a proven system THAT WORKS to find the right business for you, regardless of your education, background, or previous beliefs about owning a business.
We watch your back.
For starters we take the guess work out of it for you. With us on your side, there’s no wondering which Franchises are really great and which ones just advertise a lot and talk a good game. That is a big thing to watch out for if you were handling this adventure all alone. Many times the big friendly sounding names in Franchises are not the most profitable, or any fun to own for that matter…
Choosing the right Franchise is like choosing a partner to marry!
That may sound funny, but it’s true. Choosing the right Franchise is a lot like deciding if you want to be married to someone for the rest of your life. How the Franchise communicates with you will most likely be very important to the success of this marriage. Now judging by our divorce rate here inAmerica, I’d say not everybody is taking their time and checking all their facts before taking the plunge!
We only work with A rated companies,
so you don’t have to risk marrying a dead beat Franchise.

With SO MANY CHOICES, There are lots of factors to consider
and questions you will need the answers to, like…
With over 6,000 franchises available, how do I know which one is right one for me?
Through our customized personality profile, we will take your information, and we’ll narrow the choices down to just a few franchises for us to research together.
Do I need industry specific experience to own each type of business?
No, in fact many Franchisors are looking for people with little or no experience in their industry. This is because they want you to focus on the business and not the manual labor. In other words, they want you to work ON your business, not be stuck working IN it. Franchisors need people who can be effective in areas like hiring and motivating good employees (which they teach you how to do), and making sure the marketing and operations are being run efficiently. Your role as a franchisee is typically one of manager rather than labor, unless you so desire.
How strong is each particular Franchise?
We have access to each company’s financial records. Things like how many lawsuits they’ve had, how many years in business, how many Franchisees are in your area, how much money the typical Franchisee earns, future expansion plans, and most of all how they treat their Franchisees.
I don’t have any experience running my own business; do they fully train me?
Franchises give varying levels of training. It’s important to know which ones train thoroughly and which ones simply have minimal training or involvement with your training. We’ll give you this information, and then only present you with options that will meet your experience level.
How much investment will I need?
There are many different levels of investment depending on the Franchise. Most Franchises require a minimum of $35,000 in liquid cash available. Some have net worth requirements. However, there are a handful of great opportunities which are well-kept secrets that we can share with you during the consultation.
What about working capital while I get it off the ground?
That’s one of the best parts, your working capital is part of the funding you get through the eager lenders we have waiting to provide the financial assistance you need to fund your dream. By using a Franchise system the banks are already confident in the investment, which makes the process a breeze!
Can I use my 401k or self directed IRA for my portion of the investment?
Absolutely, in fact you can receive a much higher return on your money than leaving it in one of the typical “check the box” choices of mutual funds. And don’t forget, the money you use for your business remains tax free. Make sure you call Best Franchise Now for more details.
Do I need to operate the business myself, or can I hire someone to run it for me?
This is where we reach the pinnacle of financial freedom. You can choose to be an owner-operator, passive owner, or a semi-passive ownership model. Even with the owner-operator model they have systems in place to keep your business on the right track once you decide to take a step back and let your money machine run without you.
Can I open more than one store?
Yes, and if you qualify many Franchisors offer package deals for the purchase of multi-unit Franchises where in many cases you can buy 2 licenses and get the 3rd one FREE.
Does owning a Franchise help me gain U.S. citizenship?
There is a green card program which allows you to stay in the country legally while you operate your business.
And many other questions you might not think to ask until you speak with us.
This is where our No Obligation and Absolutely FREE CONSULTATION comes in.
“Ok, what exactly is this Free Consultation?”
Our role in this is simple, to find the absolute best business for you that will make you the most money possible and that you’ll love to be a part of. We first get to know you a little so we have a gauge on your lifestyle, your background, and your financial and time requirements. We then help you focus on a few available opportunities that best fit you and the life you want to live. Once we determine together that you are qualified for the business you choose, we will present you to the franchises that you have an interest in. This introduction is vital since most
Franchisors don’t have time to sort out who is a good fit for them, so they trust us to only bring them prospects that we feel will be a great match. We have built that relationship. Our experience with this part of the process will help make sure you’re selected and actually get awarded the Franchise by the company you choose.
Remember, there is no obligation for you to choose a Franchise. It’s merely fact finding.
Let’s look at why you should take advantage of this Free and No Obligation Service instead of going direct to the franchisor.
We will educate you in the intricacies of franchising.
The Franchisor will tell you all the advantages of their franchise, but WE will also tell you any disadvantages that should be considered.
The franchisor will tell you how great their franchise is, but WE can give you the real scoop and help you consider any competitors that may be even better.
We don’t work for any of the franchises so we aren’t biased towards one over the other. Therefore you get the benefit of an outside expert with inside knowledge.
Avoid spending excruciating amounts of time and effort trying to find the perfect franchise on your own, but never finding it.
Don’t settle for the wrong franchise, when we can steer you to a better one.
We will help provide all the facts, so you don’t end up buying a franchise that doesn’t provide adequate training or back end support.
Also, with your consultation we will give you an EXTREMELY valuable tool for evaluating each Franchise entitled “25 Questions to Ask the Franchisor.” These questions are designed to put them on the spot and force them into giving you only honest answers. This will come in handy whether you decide to use our service or not.
Franchising offers individuals the opportunity to be in business
FOR themselves, but not BY themselves.
I have become absolutely convinced that Franchising is one of the best ways to earn money,
Build security for the future, and help the economy. All while creating a turn-key business that you can pass down to your children and grand-children.
Now, let’s assume I can show you how all these things can become your reality.
Would you be willing to share an hour of your time allowing me to get to know you, and to get a better understanding of your personal business goals?
Let me say that I solemnly promise to be 100% direct and honest with you every step of the way. If what I can offer is of interest to you then great. If not, nothing is lost and we can part friends. Maybe you’ll know someone else who would benefit from my service. In that case I’ll pay you 15% for qualified referrals that use my service to find the right Franchise. There are no tricks or gimmicks when I say that there is unequivocally NO CHARGE to you or any referral you may have for my service, EVER.
That’s right. My company, Best Franchise Now will not charge you a nickel for our service! And there is absolutely no obligation that you buy a Franchise that we present to you.
Now before you go feeling too sorry for me, let me explain, I do not work for free.
I get paid, and very well, it just happens to be not by You…
You see, if you do decide that purchasing a Franchise I offer is right for you, the FRANCHISOR will pay us out of THEIR marketing budget. They are glad to do it. They would much rather pay us for a qualified and well-chosen selectee than to sort through the thousands of inquiries they get themselves every day.
“So hold on, will the Franchise cost more if I go through you to find them?”
Absolutely not. The Franchise cost is the same whether you use our service to assist you, or you contact them directly. In fact, the Federal Trade Commission law dictates that the franchisor must charge you the same price across the board regardless of how you are brought to them. That is the beauty of having a Franchise Specialist on your Team; our cost is someone else’s expense!
“How do I know you’ll do a good job?”
I guess you don’t. On the other hand, I don’t know if you are a good candidate to own a Franchise. We’ll both be following a process and it won’t take too long to figure out if we are able to do what we say we’re going to do. The same goes for you. Not everybody qualifies to own the Franchise they want, but we don’t know until we try, do we?
“What kind of questions will you need to ask me?”
It is our mission to find you an opportunity that will meet your needs, and we are very good at what we do. To be effective, we first have to learn what your needs are, what makes you tick so to say. We will ask you a series of detailed questions. Some sample questions you will be asked are:
- What are your reasons for wanting a business of your own?
- Have you ever owned a business before?
- What hours do you like to work?
- Where do you want you business to be located?
- How do you feel about managing people?
- How much capital do you have to start a business with?
- Will you have partners?
- Do you want to build multiple units?
- How soon do you want your business to open?
- Will you be involved on a full-time or part-time basis?
These are just a few of the many issues we’ll discuss over the course of our consultation process. With this information we can create a personalized profile and model for you to use in evaluating opportunities. We can also usually match our clients with a targeted few opportunities that are consistent with what they’re looking for in order to save time and effort in the process.
Sorting through over 6,800 franchise opportunities can be a long and confusing process. Many people spend months sorting through companies without ever finding an opportunity that has what they really want in a business. We can help!
We’ve done most of the homework for you.
We have pre-screened hundreds of companies from all areas of business. They must meet the standards we have set to be included in our offering list. We do all of this so we can offer the exact opportunity that will be the “perfect fit” for you.
“Ok, it sounds like you’re saying that if I am interested in starting
My own business, whether it’s a Franchise or not,
I at least owe it to myself to give you a call and see what my options are.”
You are catching on.
If you are serious about owning your own business, Best Franchise Now will provide you a Free Consultation Service to help you identify the best franchises and to meet your business ownership dreams.
When you call, we will arrange a phone conversation with a Franchise consultant to gather information about your business goals and preferences. It’s very simple and easy going. We will interview you (like a movie star) to help us identify what will meet your personal, professional, and financial goals. We will then send you a Confidential Questionnaire that will hopefully dig a little deeper into what you want and the kind of business that will be best for you and your family.
Once we have a clear picture of your vision, or at least clear enough to get to work; we will discuss franchise types that match your criteria. The franchise types will be then be narrowed down to those that you feel best fit your goals. Your franchise consultant will then research and identify appropriate franchises and present them to you for your review.
Once you have chosen franchises that you wish to further investigate, the franchise consultant will contact those franchisors and have them forward the appropriate information and disclosure documents. The franchise consultant will also place you in direct contact with the appropriate franchise representative. Best Franchise Now will help you with questions to ask the franchisor, and will be available to you throughout your investigation.
