A True In-Home Business As a company franchisee, you''ll work out of your home and vehicle. One of the primary selling features of the company concept is convenience - we bring the product to the customer and provide in-home sales consultations. Because of this, and the fact that you order inventory only when you close a sale, you''ll only need to stock inventory immediately prior to installation. Typically this can be accomplished in your garage. No worry about paying monthly rent for a store front and having that expense eating into your profitability. Low Overhead Overhead, which is typically associated with reduced profitability, is the cost of doing business. History has proven that the lower the overhead, the higher the profits. There are many components that can make up overhead, including store rent, advertising and marketing efforts, personnel, administrative costs and stored inventory, to name a few.

No Standing Inventory When a business has to carry standing inventory, cash flow is decreased and the cost of doing business proportionately increased. In order to make your money work for you, ideally you would want to purchase your product only when an order is confirmed. This way there is no cost for holding inventory, and the sale is guaranteed. That''s the way the company franchise network operates! Centralized Marketing Efforts The saying goes “If a customer doesn''t know about your product, how can he buy it?” This is the theory of advertising and marketing - getting the word out! Part of the franchise network is a centralized marketing effort that takes advantage of economies of scale.
