  • 200+ Investor Views
The Shree Chanakya Education Society (SCES) was established 30 years ago, under the visionary leadership of Dr. Tarita Shankar, with the aim of providing top-quality post-graduate education in the fields of Business Management, International Business, and Information Technology. - At a time when India was struggling to put its economy back on its feet after the nation having pawned the “family jewels” just to keep afloat, Dr. Tarita Shankar sensed that education too would have to become more broad-based and more vocational in nature if India was to stand up to the world competition in quality and price for its products, as indeed the then Finance Minister had prescribed for the economy and so, in 1994, began a saga of growth and quality in education; a story that is just reaching its zenith with 14 full-fledged Institutes registering a strong presence on Pune’s educational horizon. Since inception, the Institutes managed by SCES, have maintained high academic standards and have successfully provided trained manpower to the industrial and services sector of the country. - With a modest strength of 60 students pursuing a single course, SCES has grown steadily and today boasts 14 Institutes, having more than 8,000 students from all over India pursuing multi-disciplinary, graduate & post-graduate programs. - The objective of the institute is to provide ‘Management education in a corporate environment’, which has been possible due to the sincere and dedicated efforts of the members of SCES, who have invaluable experience in varied areas like academics, industry, service, and social work. - We have a CBSE affiliation license and society registration. - All the branches are generating the mentioned revenue with the investment amount required.

SUMSUM, 6 Franchisees, Est'd in 2016, Miami HQ
  • 900+ Page Views
  • 200+ Investor Views
SUMSUM was founded 8 years ago and opened its first store in Amsterdam on the lively Heiligeweg street. SUMSUM stores offer unique premium Middle Eastern Confectionary. Our Sesame-based products’ quality and flavors are nowhere to be found. Our products include Halva, Tahini, Covered nuts, and Premium Tea Fusions. Owning a SUMSUM store means having the most stand-out store in your area. The design and the assortment are like no other store. SUMSUM franchise will offer its rich experience in retail and marketing to our franchisees with the supply of SUMSUM premium products. Currently, SUMSUM has 2 stores in the US and stores in Amsterdam, London, Hawaii and Germany. - Seasonality. Generally, in Europe and the US, retail revenues of the second half of the year comprise 60% of total annual revenues. This is due to the increased sales in the summer and in the holiday season. In Dubai and Kuwait, retail revenues are more evenly distributed during the year. This is due to the more comfortable weather and the higher concentration of retail in shopping malls. - Business Strategy: Expanding in the US to obtain a strong foothold. Since SUMSUM’s management has extensive and successful experience in the US retail market, it was decided that the US would be the natural route for expansion. - Wholesaling to retail chains. SUMSUM recognizes the organic food retail chains, such as Whole Foods and Trader Joe's, as a major growth factor. This might require a partnership with an acquainted figure in the retail space. Since there is a risk that the premium prices of SUMSUM stores will be affected, products sold via retail chains will be under a separate brand, to disassociate between the SUMSUM franchise brand and the wholesale brand. - Online Store and e-Commerce. As part of SUMSUM's strategy to reach a larger audience, SUMSUM has an online store and is in the final stages of opening a store on Amazon. The stores will be a complimentary channel to the traditional brick-and-mortar channel. It is expected that the online store and the Amazon store will be more lucrative in the US, due to the higher usage of US customers in online channels in comparison to other regions. - In-house – Manufacturing & Packaging in the US: Halva factory in the US. As part of the extensive expenditure to the US via retail stores (franchise and self-owned), e-commerce, and wholesaling to retail chains, it is a necessity to establish a Halva factory in the US. Subject to minimal volumes, the US Halva factory will: - Reduce immensely shipping costs; - Gain SUMSUM full control of inventory and product development; - Enable the wholesale operation of large retail chains; and. - Allow higher growth in franchise stores by eliminating logistics barriers. - Expenditure of product portfolio. - Development of new products. SUMSUM is a continuous effort to expand its portfolio of Halva and Tahini products in its stores. This will be easily achieved at an in-house factory. - Embedding 3rd party complementary products. SUMSUM is collaborating with 3rd party suppliers of confectionary and savory products that complement the SUMSUM assortment. The main focus is date-based products and sesame-based products, which have a long shelf life and are a natural fit for SUMSUM’s product portfolio. - Franchising in the US, Dubai, and Kuwait. As SUMSUM launched its franchise store in Hawaii and Philadelphia, the franchise is on the verge of engaging with 2 master franchises in Dubai and Kuwait and expanding the Hawaii franchise in Hawaii and other states in the US. The agreement denotes the terms for the opening of several potential franchise stores. - The mentioned sales figures for the franchise format are based on our existing sales. These figures are based on an assumption of getting 40 to 50 customers in a day. The promoter is based out of Israel and the company is registered in Miami, USA. The business is fully compliant with all necessary certificates and licenses.

Global Floor Safety Network, 15 Dealers, Est'd in 2001, Vancouver HQ
  • 1000+ Page Views
  • 200+ Investor Views
This is a safety technology company. Our niche is preventing slip-fall accidents on hard surface floors - something this director didn’t really think about before they gained personal experience with this. Some time ago the director's wife slipped, instantly went down hard, and ended up suffering head and facial injuries. This was very traumatic and scary for her, and as it turns out - preventable. Slip-fall accidents kill more than 21,000 people a year in North America, and costs are over USD 80 million a day in claims, along with lost time at work, and rehab. A huge issue and largely unknown to most people unless they or a loved one have experienced a fall. The company is named the Global Floor Safety Network (GFSN). We have developed a chemical treatment (not a coating) for almost any hard surface, making it much less likely that someone will slip. It’s proprietary, proven (for over 20 years), and government-approved (even for use in food handling areas). The current markets are hotel lobbies, restaurants, public swimming pools, lobbies of office buildings, banks, assisted-living facilities, and condos. GFSN’s business model is similar to a franchise. We sell licenses (somewhat like a franchise fee) for exclusive “territories”, i. e. a city, county, region, or state that grants the right to sell and apply their treatment solutions within that territory. There are no ongoing royalties or fees and the licensees benefit from all sales made in their territory including national accounts (think of Mcdonald's). The margins are outstanding, it’s a very simple business to operate - and it saves lives, reduces injuries, and can lower insurance costs, anywhere there are people, hard surfaces, and water. We are looking for a number of licensees anywhere in the US or Canada. We believe that there are 3 ideal candidates for this business: 1. People that are thinking about or have already retired from corporate life, the military, fire/police/civil service, and are not ready to stop working entirely. This business is almost risk-free, has a low cost of entry, and is very simple and easy to run, either full-time or part-time. 2. Owners of companies that sell complementary products and services that may be interested in adding an additional, high-margin income stream to their business. These companies would include tiling companies, contractors, commercial cleaning companies, and pool companies. 3. Entrepreneurs that want to run a business in a massive market, earn great margins and help thousands of people.

This article dives deep into the realm of low cost franchises, best franchises to own under 20K, and the allure of diverse opportunities available.

Understanding Franchise Business

A franchise business is a model where the franchisor allows the franchisee to operate a business under its brand. This setup generally includes a proven business model, well-recognized branding, and ongoing training and support. The appeal of franchises lies in their ability to leverage proven success patterns while reducing some of the risks associated with starting a business from scratch. Franchises can be obtained from the brand under various models:

  2. FOFO (Franchise Owned Franchise Operated): You own and operates the outlet, with guidance from the franchisor.
  3. COCO (Company Owned Company Operated): The company owns and operates the outlet, with no involvement from franchisees.
  4. COFO (Company Owned Franchise Operated): The company owns the outlet, but you are a franchise investor manage the operations.
  5. Master Franchise Model: A master franchisee is the a franchise which has to rights to sub-franchise within a specific region or country.
  6. Multi-Unit Franchise Model: A single franchisee operates multiple outlets, often in a specific area.
  7. Area Developer Franchise: The franchisee is granted rights to open and operate a certain number of outlets in a specific area within a defined timeframe.
  8. Single Unit Franchise: The franchisee owns and operates just one outlet as per the franchisor’s standards.

Evaluating Best Franchises to Own in 2023

Before investing, prospective franchisees typically look for the best franchises to own 2023. While this can be subjective and varies based on personal interests and market demands, certain franchises consistently rank high due to their robust business models and potential for profitability. For instance, the cleaning franchise, which includes both residential and commercial cleaning franchise options, continues to be popular due to the steady demand for cleaning services. Even restaurant franchises and education franchises continue to be popular due to the steady demand in these sectors.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Franchise

When considering a franchise, one should evaluate the initial investment, low cost franchise opportunities, ongoing fees, and support structure. Some individuals might opt for franchises under 50k, which include successful models like the fast food franchise, preschool franchise, fitness franchise, retail franchise, healthcare franchise, home inspection franchise, or the handyman franchise. These options typically have lower barriers to entry while still offering comprehensive support.

Rising Demand for Low Cost and Cheap Franchise Opportunities

For aspiring entrepreneurs concerned about capital, low cost franchise opportunities and cheap franchises provide an accessible entry point into the market. Especially for first-time entrepreneurs, this is a great way to begin and test the waters. Options like the senior care franchise and training institute franchise for sale require moderate investment but can yield high returns with the right market focus and strategic operation.

Exploring Niche Markets: Real Estate and Food Franchises

Niche markets offer unique opportunities within the franchise ecosystem. Real estate franchises cater to those interested in property management, while food franchise opportunities appeal to gastronomes looking to blend their passion with business. These industries are diverse and can include everything from a cafe franchise or pizza franchise for sale to a high-end restaurant franchise opportunities.

The Rising Popularity of Small Franchises

For those with limited resources or a desire for a more manageable business, a small franchise business might be an ideal choice. These smaller-scale operations often feature more straightforward business models and require fewer employees. Additionally, they provide a more personalized service, improving customer loyalty and satisfaction.

Affordable and Accessible Franchise Options

Engaging with affordable franchises and finding the cheapest franchise to open can help reduce financial pressures associated with new business ventures. Cheap franchise opportunities provide a broad spectrum of choices, from a spa franchise to the learning experience franchise, allowing individuals to align their business choice with personal passions while managing costs effectively.

New Franchise Opportunities in 2023

With the fluctuating market trends and consumer behaviors post-pandemic, some new exciting franchise opportunities are emerging in 2023. These include eco-friendly businesses, tech-centered models, and health-oriented services. Importantly, franchises like the home care franchise and burgeoning gym franchise for sale can position entrepreneurs for success thanks to the growing focus on health and sustainability.

Conclusion

Exploring franchise opportunities near me requires due diligence, research, and reflection on personal interests and financial capacity. Whether you are drawn to traditional industries or innovative niches, the world of franchising offers a plethora of choices to set you on a successful business path. The key is to align your choice with market needs, emerging trends, and individual strengths, ensuring that the franchise business you choose is not just a financial investment but also a fulfilling career.
