COMMENTS: THIS IS UNDOUBTEDLY THE BEST NATIONWIDE FRANCHISE DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY AVAILABLE IN CANADA!

THIS AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY FRANCHISE SYSTEM PROVIDES SERVICES TO VEHICLE DEALERSHIPS, FLEET OPERATORS AND DIRECTLY TO THE VEHICLE OWNER. FRANCHISEES ARE EITHER MOBILE, FIXED BASED, OR BOTH.

THE FRANCHISE SYSTEM IS ALREADY ESTABLISHED AND VERY SUCCESSFUL IN 9 EUROPEAN COUNTRIES AND IS THE WORLD'S LARGEST FRANCHISE SYSTEM OF ITS KIND. IT IS NOW BEING OFFERED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN CANADA.

IN 1994 FRANCHISE DEVELOPMENT OPERATIONS BEGAN IN THE UNITED KINGDOM. TODAY, THEY HAVE OVER 350 ACTIVE FRANCHISEES. FRANCHISES IN THE UK SELL FOR BETWEEN £22,500 (APPROXIMATELY CDN$39,000) AND £35,000 (APPROXIMATELY CDN$62,000) AND EACH FRANCHISEE PAYS THE UK FRANCHISOR A MANAGEMENT FEE OF £75.00 PER WEEK (APPROXIMATELY CDN$135.00).

THE POPULATION OF THE UNITED KINGDOM IS APPROXIMATELY 60 MILLION. THE POPULATION OF CANADA IS APPROXIMATELY 30 MILLION AND IT IS REASONABLE TO EXPECT THAT THE CANADIAN FRANCHISE SYSTEM COULD ULTIMATELY HAVE AS MANY AS 200 FRANCHISEES, GENERATING UP TO $10,000,000 IN FRANCHISE FEES AND WEEKLY MANAGEMENT FEES EQUALING MORE THAN $250,000 PER YEAR. ADDITIONAL REVENUE IS GENERATED THROUGH SUPPLIES THAT WILL BE SOLD BY THE CANADIAN FRANCHISOR TO ALL CANADIAN FRANCHISEES.

THE PURCHASER OF THE EXCLUSIVE CANADIAN FRANCHISE RIGHTS CAN EITHER OFFER FRANCHISES DIRECTLY OR SELL AREA MASTER FRANCHISES FOR EACH PROVINCE (OR OTHER GEOGRAPHIC AREA), OR BOTH.

THIS BUSINESS CAN BE BASED IN AND OPERATED FROM MOST ANY LOCATION IN CANADA.

THE IDEAL PURCHASER OF THE EXCLUSIVE CANADIAN FRANCHISE RIGHTS FOR THIS CONCEPT WILL BE AN INDIVIDUAL, TEAM OR ORGANIZATION WITH STRONG SALES AND MANAGEMENT SKILLS. NO SPECIFIC AUTOMOTIVE EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY. FRANCHISE DEVELOPMENT AND FRANCHISEE SUPPORT TRAINING IS ALSO AVAILABLE.

CATEGORY: FRANCHISE

TYPE OF BUSINESS: FRANCHISED REAL ESTATE PUBLICATION

LOCATION: VANCOUVER ISLAND

FULL PRICE: $250,000

DOWN PAYMENT: $250,000

ANNUAL GROSS SALES: $592,000

ADJUSTED ANNUAL PROFIT: $123,000

COMMENTS: THIS VANCOUVER ISLAND INTEGRATED ONLINE/OFFLINE MAGAZINE FRANCHISE IS PART OF A WELL ESTABLISHED 35+ YEAR OLD NORTH AMERICAN BRAND THAT WAS VOTED THE #3 ADVERTISING FRANCHISE ACROSS NORTH AMERICA IN 2008. AS THAT RANKING WAS #3 IN ALL CATEGORIES, ARGUABLY IT WOULD HAVE RANKED #1 IN THE “REAL ESTATE” CATEGORY.

FROM LAUNCH UNTIL NOW (JUST ENTERING ITS 3RD YEAR) THE COMPANY HAS BEEN PROFITABLE AND HAS REMAINED PROFITABLE DURING THE RECENT ECONOMIC DOWNTURN.

REPRESENTING REAL ESTATE OPPORTUNITIES ON THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER COAST IN NORTH AMERICA BY RETIRING BABY BOOMERS, THIS TURN-KEY BUSINESS IS A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY FOR AN OWNER THAT EITHER WANTS TO TAKE IT ON FROM A SALES CAPACITY AND GROW IT TO ITS MAXIMUM POTENTIAL, OR THAT WANTS TO BE SEMI-RETIRED AND SIMPLY MANAGE THE EXISTING OPERATION. THE BUSINESS IS SYSTEMIZED TO THE POINT IT RUNS LIKE A WELL OILED MACHINE WITH THE CURRENT SALES DIRECTOR IN PLACE.

THIS FRANCHISE HAS LITTLE COMPETITION ACROSS NORTH AMERICA AND ON VANCOUVER ISLAND IT IS THE STRONGEST ADVERTISING VALUE PROPOSITION REAL ESTATE COMPANIES HAVE TO REACH POTENTIAL REAL ESTATE BUYERS, ACROSS THE WORLD. THE MARKETING SYSTEM PROVIDES SUCH A RICH, INTEGRATED MARKETING PROGRAM TO REALTORS AND THE REAL ESTATE COMMUNITY, THAT ADVERTISERS RARELY OPT OUT (EVEN IN THE CURRENT MARKET).

THE MAGAZINE PUBLISHES 13-TIMES PER YEAR (EVERY 4 WEEKS A NEW ISSUE HITS THE MARKET) AND IS WIDELY DISTRIBUTED ACROSS VANCOUVER ISLAND. ONLINE, THIS FRANCHISE AUTOMATICALLY SYNDICATES CLIENT’S LISTINGS TO MASSIVE WEB PARTNERS ACROSS THE WORLD.

NOW IN ITS THIRD YEAR, WITH THE MARKET RECOVERING, THE OLYMPICS ON THE WAY AND BABY BOOMERS SET TO RETIRE AND WITH VANCOUVER ISLAND AS A MOST DESIRABLE DESTINATION, THE INCREASED CASH FLOW OPPORTUNITY IN THE NEAR FUTURE OF THIS BUSINESS IS A MASSIVE. THE FINANCIAL OPPORTUNITY IS IDEAL FOR SOMEONE WITH VISION TO TAKE ON THIS VERY PROFITABLE OPPORTUNITY NOW AND TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL.

NO INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY TO ACQUIRE AND GROW THIS OPPORTUNITY, ALTHOUGH GOOD BUSINESS KNOWLEDGE AND CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS ARE A DEFINITE ASSET FOR ONGOING CLIENT RETENTION AND GROWTH.
