Probably the Greatest Business Opportunity
in the Firefighting Industry
Waterway is the nation’s fastest growing provider of vital, annually required fire hose testing to America’s Fire Departments.

Waterway Franchise Franchise Opportunity_3Our state-of-the-art, ISO-certified, proprietary equipment delivers the most efficient testing system for Fire Departments and virtually guarantees repeat business. You benefit from our 20 years of experience and trade secrets. This is a low risk, steady growth, recession-proof business. Hose testing is an annual requirement of the NFPA, the official fire safety body. In most states, no formal competition anywhere means you can build your given territory your way.
This opportunity brings substantial benefits:Waterway Franchise Franchise Opportunity_4

* A huge market - there are approximately 60,000 fire stations in the US.
* There is a US government recommendation that every fire station has their hose tested each year. Every year you build on the year before. You rarely lose your customers.
* No formal fire-hose testing service currently exists in the USA with the right, time-tested equipment and experience that we have.
* There is an increase in federal and state pressure to place a higher priority on fire protection.
* Waterway has its own proprietary equipment and software recording system.
* In addition to testing, cleaning services can be sold to create an additional revenue stream.
* Extra revenue streams from ladder testing from 2009 and industrial testing - factories/plants which are subject to the NFPA regulations.
* Individual fire departments have 24/7 access to their records with their own individual user ID and password.
* There is a ready labor market - off duty firefighters are ideal and it gives them the opportunity to earn extra cash on their days off.
* Labor costs are low as no special skills are required.Waterway Franchise Franchise Opportunity_2
* Financial control systems and marketing materials have been specifically designed for our franchisees.
* Three days of practical and business training, using the equipment and learning to service the business, mean you’ll be able to make a start straight away.
* It’s an affordable investment.

In addition, you will operate in your own exclusive territory and can build a business that could be passed to the next generation of your family. You’ll run an enterprise that services the most respected community of all - the Fire Departments.
Is this the franchise opportunity for you?

Our ideal franchise partner is a career or volunteer firefighter, a retired firefighter or a person who knows someone with that background who can participate. While our franchise owners do not have to test hose themselves, many of them do. Their primary purpose is to run the business - promoting and selling the services, dealing with the Fire Departments and growing the enterprise. Importantly, they need to be good at leading a small team (usually a crew of eight, at least one of whom should be an off duty firefighter or similar), have a respect for the nation’s fire service and have connections with it, ideally through someone they know.

It’s a great environment to be a part of. It’s fun and it keeps the franchisee and crew in touch with the world they know and love.

An Affordable Home Based Business That
Helps Parents Protect Their Children

If you are interested in a unique opportunity to earn a great income while providing a valued service for your community, DIGIKIDS® could be the ideal franchise opportunity for you.

In about the time it takes to read this page, two more children will be reported lost, missing or separated from their parents in the United States. With more than 2,200 children reported lost or missing each day in America, authorities know that access to quality photos and accurate descriptions in the first 20 minutes are key to a safe and speedy recovery. DIGIKIDS® can provide that access quickly and effectively through its highly developed child ID system.
DIGIKIDS® Franchise Opportunity_2A product that works in seconds

The DIGIKIDS® Child ID Program is offered at schools, preschools and business-sponsored safety events. The process only takes about two minutes for each child, and the completed ID is available immediately on a CD. Our patent-pending software cannot create a database, and we never take anything offsite to process.

Small enough to carry in a wallet, pocket or purse, the CD contains our easy-to-use Quick Response™ software that will immediately broadcast a child´s high-resolution photos, identifying and medical information, and automatically print or email missing child flyers to anyone with access to the Internet - anywhere in the world.

“What set DIGIKIDS® apart for us was the CD provided to the family, instead of just an ID card, and the fact that everything is done onsite. DIGIKIDS® is the one we knew people would trust, since it is the one we trust.” - Sara Hinojosa, DIGIKIDS® Laredo
A winning franchise systemDIGIKIDS® Franchise Opportunity_1

As a DIGIKIDS® franchise owner, you will offer the most advanced and effective child ID available anywhere. You will launch your new business with proven marketing systems, proprietary, patent-pending software, a well-established and nationally recognized trademark, national purchasing power, and thorough training and support. You will receive a large protected area in which to exclusively operate your business, plus all equipment and a generous start-up inventory. You will also receive two full days of onsite initial training and unlimited ongoing support. Significant additional benefits include:

* Low start up costs - large, all inclusive territories only $28,700
* Very low overhead - work from an office in your home
* Great earnings potential - 60 million children need our service
* The freedom to set your own hours - enjoy a schedule that works for you

“Thanks to a lot of no-compromise dedication from some very exceptional people, we have quickly built a reputation for safe, confidential and highly effective child safety ID. I invite you to contact us to learn how you can become part of the DIGIKIDS® team helping parents protect their children.” - Michael J. Childs, President/CEO, DIGIKIDS®

Own your own businesses.
Clean up with a powerful brand.

You’ve got the capital. We’ve got a name everybody knows.

Maytag® Commercial Laundry is the most recognized and preferred laundry brand,* which means we’ve got the reputation to get you started on the road to success. So what else do you need to know right up front? Consider this:

* No franchising fees are required (it’s your business).
* $100,000 liquid cash/capital is needed to invest.
* Our outstanding distributor network will eagerly provide start-up planning and ongoing support.

Take a step back. Let’s look at a promising industry.

An entrepreneurial spirit is one thing, but choosing the right business is quite another. Currently, there are around 35,000 coin laundries in the United States, and they generate approximately $8 billion in annual sales. Would you like a share in this kind of strong profitability? It might help to have some points of comparison to know why this is a sound investment:

* Relatively high rates of return on your investment are possible.
* Minimal time and labor are involved (customers do most of your work).
* It’s a cash business, so no accounts receivable are needed.
* There’s a market of over 35 million customers in renters alone.
* Coin laundries are recession-resistant (people always need clean clothes).

“Maytag equipped.” It makes a difference.

Why invest in a Maytag equipped coin laundry? Beyond the instant credibility our name has with customers, no franchise fees and a well-known distributor network, we offer you these advantages:

* The broadest lineup of energy-, water- and cost-saving commercial laundry products.
* Famously reliable, heavy-duty equipment keeps businesses up and running
* Our 5-year limited coverage on all parts is the best in the industry.

What should you do next? We suggest a conversation.

An authorized Maytag Commercial Laundry distributor will be glad to share more information and answer your questions about getting started. They have the expertise to help you evaluate locations, leases, equipment choices and more.

A Financial Franchise That Helps Everyone Win

Our mission at Lender Franchise System, LLC is to help customers take delivery of a vehicle when their credit is not up to current standards, help the auto dealer sell a vehicle, along with additional products, give the dealer and the customer a fair deal, and earn income while helping everyone win. We are now offering non-prime financing franchises to qualified candidates with the ambition, determination and investment capability to develop their own non-prime loan offering. Our franchises include protected territories with comprehensive training in the following areas:Lender to Lender Franchise System

* Sales
* Collection process
* Customer service
* Electronic payments

There are three major categories to deal with in the non-prime financing world:

1. Funding
How much does one fund the auto dealership that sold a vehicle? The funding is directly related to the probability of repayment for each customer.

2. Risk vs reward
What is the potential return on each loan if the customer pays up to the probability that is expected?

3. Probability of repayment
This is the amount of money the customer is expected to repay on the loan, based on history.

Lender to Lender Franchise System Franchise Opportunity_2With our non-prime financing program franchise, your company will fund and collect the payments using the Lender to Lender Franchise System. Your group will control the funding and the financing. Your odds for reliable profits dramatically increase when you can reasonably calculate repayment probabilities, know how much to fund deals and know the potential ROI upfront.

With our system and our training, you should be able to take the mystery out of non-prime auto financing while adding additional sales to each of your dealerships, building a larger customer base and earning significant income.Lender to Lender Franchise System

Our franchise system includes our proprietary ‘probability of repayment’ software. Over the years, we have found that the probability of repayment of a loan is based on several factors. Taking into account over 12,000 different calculations, and with the help of software and several thousand contracts, we have established a basic probability of repayment. There are still factors that cannot be evaluated technologically, such as the helpfulness of the dealership, the quality of the vehicle, the attitude of the customer, the honesty of the information received from the dealership, etc. Those are the responsibility of the dealership. However, our probability report should give a good overall outlook on the repayment of the loan.

Your dealer group will do the funding, which is directly related to the probability of repayment. You will assess your risk and your potential reward and you make the decision. As a National Account you will make the difference in your dealerships and build a larger customer base.

Lender to Lender Franchise System will train and assign an account manager to your account. We will also establish an ongoing system of communication and support that will help you grow a successful non-prime financing business.

Starting up a new business can be a little nerve-wracking under any conditions, but no less so during an economic decline. It’s tempting to either stay away from new business endeavors entirely or walk into one with serious trepidation, fearing for its survival right from the beginning. It’s a terrible way to start a business, but when you really stop to think about it, the beginning is really one of the most frail times in a franchise’s lifespan, mostly because it takes time to build up business and get cash flowing in on a steady basis. Without that, a business really can’t survive; so to some degree, fear is warranted at the outset of business.

That kind of fear in a franchise business, however, isn’t always necessary, even in recession. If the threat of not having immediate cash flow is more of a weight than you can handle, it’s important to know that there are business opportunities that come with various means of producing cash flow instantly. The following businesses, for one reason or another, are able to provide you with a steady income right off the bat.

Glove Lady

This business for sale provides an instant flow of cash mostly because it provides a product in high demand that few other groups are selling. A low-overhead, work from home business, Glove Lady specializes in selling gloves and other safety equipment. Though it’s a product that many companies need, it’s not one that a lot of companies sell, meaning that a Glove Lady franchisee has a cornered market from day one. And with a state-of-the art management system, customizable marketing system, and personalized website, everything is in place for a highly lucrative local business.

Superior Wash

One of the leading names in the truck-washing industry, Superior Wash has over 25 years of combined experience and can teach any hardworking franchisee how to profit from this simple and well established business model. Everything is provided for each new home based business from the outset: the business plan, cleaning equipment, accounting services, 24/7 support, and best of all, access to a national account list. What the national account list provides is a large number of trucking companies that, with only a call, will prove to be a immediate source of income because they’re already familiar with the Superior Wash name. And with services for each client operating on a weekly, bi-monthly, or monthly basis, that initial income remains a repetitive source of cash flow as new accounts are added.

PIRTEK USA

This is the best franchise opportunity you can find in the manufacturing industry. Universally recognized as a worldwide powerhouse in the hydraulic business, PIRTEK USA provides clients with only the best hoses and other equipment made by the world’s leading makers. What’s more, they’re the only onsite service provider, not only selling hydraulic equipment, but installing, repairing, and maintaining it, all at the customer’s location. Between selling exceptional products and providing exceptional services, it is no wonder that clients new and old recognize PIRTEK USA as a wise choice for servicing their equipment, and thus, there is potential for income immediately.

MOLLY MAID

The biggest name in the home cleaning industry, MOLLY MAID comes to new franchisees with almost instant cash flow, mostly because the name is so widely known. The world’s leading maid service, every new MOLLY MAID home business has instant advertising and brand recognition because nearly everyone has seen a MOLLY MAID car. Even if owned by another franchisee, that publicity bodes well for new franchises. Because advertising is relatively easy, franchisees are mostly just responsible for managing a staff of employed housecleaners, managing business growth, and providing invoicing and accounts receivable.

The Pajama-Man School

They call him the Pajama-Man, and for good reason. Because he works only from home, Andy Ross wears nothing but pajamas while he makes gobs of money brokering health insurance, and with his school, he is more than able to teach others to do the same. By his estimates, Andy makes $500 every day, just off two or three insurance applications from new clients, all without any calling on his part: he simply receives calls and makes sales. His competitors have all asked him numerous times how he has managed such startling success, but he refuses to tell them his secrets; he only tells his students. For only $5,000, you too can become his student and learn how to take advantage of the same kind of business opportunity.

Supercuts

Once again, the key to instant income with one of these franchises is an already strong market presence and a service that everyone needs on an ongoing basis. Everyone recognizes the Supercuts name and logo, and the average person needs a haircut every few weeks or so. Combine those two facts, and you have an instant success as a part of $3bil franchising family with 12,000 functional franchises already in operation. Each store has two streams of income, service and retail sales, and there is already a global marketing system in operation, ensuring that the cash flow you see today will only expand tomorrow.

Getting into business for yourself never comes without its stresses, but wondering whether or not there’s money to be made from the beginning of your franchise’s operational life is not a stress you need to have. As you look for the business opportunity of your dreams, keep an eye peeled for those businesses that provide a steady stream of income from the get-go. Having that little bit more peace of mind goes a long way toward making an even more successful business.

Henry Gillette was famous for saying ‘Give them the handles but make them buy the blades.’ In the world of Inkjet printing, HP, Canon, Lexmark, Epson and the other manufacturers of inkjet printer have expanded on that same principle, often selling their printers for around $100, while their ‘disposable’ cartridges range in cost from 20 - 60 dollars!

In fact, printer ink costs the consumer seven times more per ounce than the most expensive Dom Perignon champagne. Using the same price per quantity ratio of a color HP 78 ink cartridge, a magnum-sized bottle of ink would cost about $1380!

Become a Franchisee
Put yourself and your customers in the black with Inkjet cartridge refills and a Cartridge Depot franchise.

Cartridge Depot is the exclusive North American distributor of the Ink 3000, a machine that has revolutionized the way people think about ink in Europe and South America.

The value proposition driving Cartridge Depot is simple - if an inkjet cartridge can be refilled without compromising its structural integrity - and that cartridge is able to meet the print standards of the original cartridge as measured by output standards and longevity, than a truly valuable service can be offered to the customer.

What separates Cartridge Depot from the rest of the inkjet refill industry? In three words, it’s the quality of our refill technology, the consistency of our ink refills and the adaptability of our product.

Energy costs and consumption have exploded into the consciousness of homeowners everywhere over the last three years and specifically over recent months. With rising energy prices, the credit crunch and the bursting of the housing bubble, people are no longer consumed with the size of their next house and how fast they can get into it. Instead, they are hunkering down, happy to be where they are and turning their attention inward. They are becoming increasingly vigilant about the energy they consume. Today, energy auditing comprises the fastest growing, most affordable and most valued segment of real estate related services.

Energy auditing is also becoming a “hot” destination for aspiring entrepreneurs. The converging trends of today’s economy combined with the “work-from-home” model afforded to energy auditors, makes it an unusually effective fit for those looking for a sustainable business opportunity.

Welcome to the #1 Recession Proof Industry - Pet Care!

The fastest growing segments of home based
businesses are in the pet care industry!

You can now achieve the success you have always dreamed of, by selling the one thing that every pet owner wants and so many pet owners need; a proven, reliable, low cost and non-invasive pet recovery system. Have you ever suffered through the anxiety and uncertainty of losing a beloved family pet? Or worse, had your lost pet spend countless hours in a shelter because no one knew how to find you? Think of the number of pet owners who have that experience every day in the US!

Return-A-Pet can help prevent your customers from ever going through that emotional ordeal. Our system makes it easy for the person who finds a missing pet to get the beloved family member back to its owners quickly and safely.

“We were looking for a simple way to make extra money, that didn’t take up too much of our free time. Since we love our dogs, we figured this was a great way to earn a few extra dollars. We had NO idea that selling tags and registrations would be so lucrative!” - Vanessa and Lori

Americans spend thousands each year on their dogs alone. Here are just some of the statistics:Return-A-Pet Franchise Opportunity_3

* There are over 72 million licensed dogs in the US.
* 47% of all US households has a dog.
* Americans will spend $43 billion on their dogs this year.
* Despite a slowing economy, spending on the “family dog” is increasing.

Return-A-Pet has launched aggressive plans to capture a lion’s share of the dog owner market by providing pet recovery through immediate identification at a very affordable price. We are now increasing our already substantial market share by expanding our exclusive distributorship program nationwide.

Become a master distributor today. It will change your life forever!

The Return-A-Pet program is the only proactive licensing sales program in the country that provides you with a product that can be purchased by over 70 million dog owners. Now that’s a lot of folks. We view our distributors as the lifeline of our business. Just look at how easy we make it for you to successfully build a business when you represent us:

* One time licensing fee. No monthly royalties.
* Starter pack includes enough products for you to recoup your fee and still earn a 30% profit.Return-A-Pet Franchise Opportunity_1
* We provide the service and enrollment forms, and id tags; as many as you can handle.
* We provide full-time marketing support from the corporate office. Not hired guns or consultants. Our staff of seasoned professionals is on board to guide you. We have TV commercials, brochures and print advertising specifically developed for our distributors.
* We offer protected territories. As a master distributor representing Return-A-Pet you are entitled to the exclusive right to grow your own sales force within the territory which you have selected. No one else may sell Return-A-Pet in your territory unless they purchase the product directly from you.

“In the past, we tried five different products and services. We finally decided to try the Return-A-Pet brand. The results were tremendous. We sold out our starter kit in three weeks, and have made several reorders since. The results have been so amazing that we are in the process of acquiring three additional territories. I look forward to continued success with this great concept.” - The Jennings Group

Master distributors purchase each enrollment package from us for $5. Each package includes a brochure, a Return-A-Pet enrollment form and the all important Return-A-Pet ID tag with the dog’s exclusive Return-A-Pet ID number. Dog owners purchase the complete package from you for $20. That means you earn $15 for each dog you enroll into the Return-A-Pet registry. Now that’s a profitable program. Your independent sales force (should you choose to grow one) will purchase each enrollment package from you for $10. This will yield you $5 from each of your sales force members. Now, that’s a business opportunity to get excited about!

In general, money can only be made where there is some kind of a person-to-person exchange of goods or services for cash. However, there are some franchise business opportunities that bring in profit even when the franchisee isn’t there to make the transaction. Though, at one time, that might have been a revolutionary concept, today automated businesses are everywhere, turning profits on everything from vended sodas to online gaming, all while the owner is expanding the business, taking on new business endeavors, or maybe just kicking back with a cocktail and one of those little drink umbrellas.

Though it is a common practice these days, not everyone knows how to get a business to make money without constant hands-on involvement, and that is where a good franchisor with a successful home based business comes into play. If you’re interested in profiting from a home business that’s working even when you’re not, here are 5 good franchise options to get you going.

Rocket Vending
Just what you might expect to start off such a list, Rocket Vending is a candy vending business. However, this may not be the kind of candy operation that the average person would anticipate. Selling mints from bright pink, decorative machines, Rocket Vending franchisees are the only candy vendors that use a part of their proceeds to contribute to various breast cancer organizations. In their words, they’re “vending with a conscience.” And in the end, that pays off for both the franchisees and charities, because buyers often purchase candy just to support the cause, even if they would have had no interest in the product otherwise.

Vehicle Tracking Solutions
Though a good deal of this business is built on initial sales, which obviously requires the presence of the franchisee, there is also a steady stream of secondary income that, in the right quantities, could prove to be enough to sustain a franchisee through dry times of business or while on vacation. One of the only suppliers of its kind, Vehicle Tracking Solutions sells GPS tracking equipment to clients for their corporate automobile fleets. But initial sales is only the first stream of income. The second stream comes by client use of the Vehicle Tracking Solutions web-based mapping and historical reporting systems, which requires a paid subscription. Franchises therefore continue to make money even when they aren’t selling products to new clients.

TVME
Similar in form to Vehicle Tracking Solutions, TVME sees the majority of its profits coming in by way of initial sales but also has that secondary stream of income that flows in from client subscription to the company narrowcast. The TVME product is a computerized media center that grants access to over 450,000 songs and virtually all music videos created over the last 40 years. Perfect for bars, restaurants, and other food and entertainment industry locations, this system provides instant access to everything media.

Love Maine Lobster Claw
One of the more interesting vending franchise options available, this franchise business combines an arcade claw-game machine with a lobster tank, allowing shoppers to try their luck at grabbing a live lobster with a joystick-controlled claw for the low, low cost of $2 a try. As with any other vending machine, by nature of the business, the franchisee doesn’t have to be present in order to make a sale, and sales can still be quite impressive. Because people are so intrigued by the machine, and the game is so difficult to control, one machine is capable of making $750 per week, which is completely unlike any other vending operation.

DVDNow
Another vending operation, this work from home franchise also takes a different angle on the now-classic business of vending, distributing rental DVDs instead of candy. Slowly cropping up around the US, this business yet has little competition because the concept is still only a few years old. By renting out movies from automated kiosks, convenient location and much cheaper prices draw in more clients that are increasingly fed up with making the trip to a video store just to pay a higher rental fee. And franchises, who work at home, continue to make money from their machines even when they take a little break from the labor.

There are plenty of ways to make a good income, and many of those are franchises, but there are only so many options to make a continuing stream of income even when you aren’t around. This, of course, is not to say that any of these businesses come without a good deal of effort, because any business requires hard work to succeed. But because you never know what life may throw at you, and there are always those times that you need to stop and take a breather, it’s good to know that your home business can make money even when you’re away.
