We at Franchise Growth Systems (FGS) have two super-hot fitness franchises that will help get you in shape both physically and financially in the new year!  SuperSlow Zone offers a unique exercise regimen that gives you a 20-minute workout twice a week, and is guaranteed to build muscle, drop fat, and all without breaking a sweat!

Like SuperSlow Zone, Stretch U is also a great investment choice for those who want to operate an attractive service program in the growth industry of health and fitness, and benefit from relatively low entry cost and potentially high ROI.  Both companies also offer businesses and individuals a terrific corporate wellness option.

With either of these franchising options, you get to invest in companies with innovative, forward-thinking franchisors who are truly offering the marketplace something new and different in their approach to health and wellness. They both feature “user friendly” exercise regimens that are designed to save patrons time, money, energy, and which promote wellness in body and mind as a result.

We at FGS believe in bringing the marketplace something value-added – not just the run-of-the-mill franchised companies only interested in making a buck. These two franchises are no exceptions to that code of business ethics which we employ.  And, imagining their respective applications as “wellness services” in a corporate culture that demands relief from day-to-day life and business stresses opens up the possibilities in the modern marketplace in a big way!

And with these hot-out-of-the-gate companies, you’re getting big, value-added payoffs not only potentially financially, but also by offering the public a much-needed service that enhances their quality of life as well.  If you don’t value being your own boss and making a true investment in your financial future, then this opportunity isn’t for you.

We represent 20 brands in the Top 25 growth industries you can take your pick from, if fitness isn’t quite your thing.  As well, if you’ve looked into investing in a franchised business opportunity before, and either weren’t qualified, or just couldn’t make the commitment – we invite you to look again at how easy it truly is to become a franchise owner ruling your own financial destiny with FGS!

We bring you two health and fitness-industry powerhouses – just right for those looking for a great franchise investment opportunity in a hot industry!

There are many myths out there regarding the franchising experience which we here at Franchise Growth Systems (FGS) want to shed some light upon.

One of the biggest myths out there regarding this industry is that a franchisee needs to have experience in the particular market represented by the business model he intends to operate.

This is patently false.

All you need is the passion and drive to succeed at owning and operating your own business. Period. Sure, experience in a given field or industry helps, but it certainly IS NOT a requirement in order to be a successful franchise owner.

Another big myth is that you have to quit a current position in order to devote yourself full-time to your new franchise endeavor.

Also false.

Many franchising situations allow you to have a relatively passive presence, and instead assign the daily supervisory duties to a small management staff – sometimes even one person, allowing you to work a principal job and oversee your new business endeavor on the side.

Yet another huge myth about franchising is that you need to be very wealthy to do it successfully.

This is also proven to be false.

$100,000, even under $50,000 – especially with our new cost-deferment program for up-front franchise fees.  For many this simply means a small SBA loan or mortgage re-financing, and they’re off to the races toward the realm of financial freedom and independence – and best of all, adding a “quality of life” aspect to their business experience.

As you can see, with these myths exploded and the facts about franchising revealed – franchising is actually quite easy to get into, and also seriously hard to fail at, with all of the team support that goes along with a franchise investment from FGS brand development experts.

So, what are you waiting for? Give us a call at (480) 223-1500, or email us at info@franchisegrowth.com and get started on achieving your franchising and financial goals today!

When you buy a franchise business at the Master Program level from Franchise Growth Systems (FGS), you get more than a new lucrative occupation in a hot industry – and potentially high ROI on your investment. You also get full, comprehensive pre-opening training for you and your staff, as well as ongoing support from the franchisor and FGS! This is in addition to the other, myriad benefits you reap by opting to invest at the Master – or Regional Development level.

What this means is that you’re getting the most cost-effective, investment-friendly version of our franchising offerings possible, and will have the ongoing support, in the form of franchise marketing consulting, advertising, and other tutelary provisos designed to bolster your ability to sell your brand, services, and further franchises. The Master Program, at the same time, also allows you to develop your brand in multiple locations across entire cities, markets, states, regions, and even entire countries, on an international scale!

For many franchise buyers, this is the only choice, as it truly anticipates making as big a splash as possible in multiple markets, and really plants the seeds for “legacy empire” building – the true goal of any Regional Developer (a.k.a. “RD” – or, a franchisee who oversees multiple locations in the aforementioned geographic areas). RDs have tremendous advantage over single-unit franchisees, who tend to have a more limited “mom and pop” attitude toward franchising. Not that the mom and pop philosophy is necessarily a bad one for running a business; it’s just that RDs tend to think in much broader terms, with a much more forward-looking, expansive outlook on franchising and their own business acumen.

You have to ask yourself a key question: “How much success do I want?” Are you content to run a single, successful business, pay your bills, take home a bit of profit, and rest on your laurels? Or, are you the more ambitious type, who’s built for bigger brand presence in entire regions – and ultimately, much greater profit? If you’re nodding your head to these latter questions, then spending the extra dollar amount on a Master Franchise program with one of our many hot brands in growth-oriented industries is definitely the way to go.

With an FGS Master Franchising program working for you and your financial future, you’ve got an ace in the hole maximizing your potential profitability, brand recognition, longevity in the business world, and legacy empire possibilities. Over the course of the last decade or so, our staff of franchise development experts has helped numerous franchisees realize their financial goals, with sometimes astronomical returns on their initial investments.

The FGS Master Franchising Program – brand-replicable profitability for those who reach out and take it!

The word franchising, with the root “Franc” from the Anglo-French, meaning “Free,” almost literally means “Freeing” – which makes perfect sense when you realize the freedom that investing in a franchise operation imparts to the franchisee.  It is a certain freeing up from the burden of going it solo, and having to scramble in uncertainty for where your advertising and marketing dollars will come from.  It’s certainly a freeing up from the question, “How am I going to package and sell my business?”

And it’s certainly a freeing up of the other nagging questions that burn away at non-franchised business owners, such as, “Will this concept really succeed?” and “Will I be able to make a profit at this, and feed my family and save for the future?”

In the world of franchising, one of the main reasons franchisee candidates are enticed to invest is that there is a demonstrably-shown ability of the brand and business to turn a profit and replicate, or market itself successfully. All of these are best evidence of the concept of “freeing” of franchise business owners from the burdens and stresses of these aforementioned questions.

So, it is a freeing up from nagging doubt, at last, which is a great burden lifted indeed! Sure, there are still the nominal, manageable stresses of running a business day-to-day, but by and large the freeing that’s part and parcel with the concept of franchising produces a “quality of life” effect that is franchising’s own best advertisement.

And as far as the franchise development experts at Franchise Growth Systems (FGS) are concerned, our job is to facilitate that freeing up of the burdens of an average business owner that franchising in its best light imparts. We have hundreds of years in combined experience helping facilitate the freeing from the doubts, fears, and isolation that plague and corrode the non-franchised business owner’s outlook and chances of success.

We at FGS have been building our winning team of franchised business families for over a decade now, and look forward to helping many more just like yourself attain the financial freedom and general freeing from the bondage of doing business all alone – with a line-up of brands that shine with 21^st Century approaches to doing business as part of the Top 25 hottest industries!

Whether you’re talking about a quick-serve restaurant with something for everybody on the menu – that’s also relatively low-cal and healthy for you – or, a frozen yogurt establishment who’s goal is to purvey the healthiest, tastiest froyo at the best prices; an auto repair chain that truly values customer relations over monetary profit; or, a fitness program that saves you, literally, tons of time, money, and energy – all 20 Franchise Growth Systems (FGS) brands provide huge, value-added perks for franchisees and the marketplace alike!

FGS seeks out and cultivates brands with that extra something – a leading edge aspect that brings something more remarkable to the table than the average brand. We have branded companies that offer revolutionary, state-of-the-art solutions for cosmetics, swimming pool construction, web development, home health care, weight loss, and much more.

SuperSlow Zone, the revolutionary fitness program headed by CEO Madeline Ross, has 34 locations in the United States, and is now making waves half a world away in Istanbul, Turkey, with 2 locations there. Recently, two different referrals from Turkey have sought out locations in the U.S. in order to continue their fitness regimen, in one case, and the other wanting to sign up, as she’d heard such wonderful things about SSZ back in Istanbul.

“What a testimony to the power of our brand when clients come from one country and search out SSZ here in the U.S., to keep up their training and level of health and fitness!” an excited Ms. Ross proclaimed in response to the phenomenal international buzz being created by her innovative exercise program.

SuperSlow Zone delivers the most ideal, results-oriented personal fitness program possible. Based on many years of academic, scientific research and development, SuperSlow Zone presents a clinically-controlled, time and money-saving 20-minute workout program which yields exacting, dramatic results, without its clientele actually breaking a sweat!.

SuperSlow Zone’s list of services/benefits includes:

·         A time and money-saving, results-measured exercise regimen

There is a wealth of statistical information currently published which clearly shows that 2012 will be a time of new and continued growth, indicative of a bounce-back effect from the economic slump of 2009-10. This much venerated and celebrated year should prove to be, overall, one of growth and prosperity in the business world, and Franchise Growth Systems is here to help usher you prosperity-minded venture capitalists through the maze of doubt and into the light of economic recovery.

According to an IHS Global Insight report prepared for the International Franchise Association and published December 2011, employment is slated to rise in 2012 (0.2%), while the number of total establishments doing business will increase by a whopping 2.5%, to nearly 750,000 – not quite pre-recession numbers, to be sure, but a significant improvement over 2009’s calamitous drop of 3.5%. GDP and overall economic output will remain relatively the same, with only a slight drop from 2011’s numbers.

This is good news for those looking at franchising investment(s). 2012 will provide fertile ground for the seeds of new ventures – and with there being no shortage of outside-the-box thinkers brandishing 21^st Century concepts worthy of going viral in the greater marketplace, there literally has been no better time in the history of business to invest in the right idea, in the form of an easy-to-manage business model. The ‘New Economy’ may look different, but it’s a paradigm shift as the old is sloughed off to make way for the novel ideas in franchise venture format.

Franchise Growth Systems (FGS) has deliberately sought out these kinds of innovative companies and ideas – from toy stores that focus on educational, non-violent games and toys, to swimming pool manufacturers who utilize green, earth-friendly technology, to fitness clubs that use state-of-the-art equipment and provide time and money-saving workout regimens. Our franchised businesses are helmed by many in that new crop of “idea makers,” who are helping shape the new economy by putting their vision and talents to work with a novel approach to transacting products and services.

But those are only a few standouts in our portfolio of visionary franchisors. How about 24/7 quick-serve breakfast that delivers a healthy meal? Or, bilingual tax preparers who can quickly calculate accurate accounting and income tax statements for both English and Spanish-speaking customers? What about trustworthy mechanics who worry more about getting the job done right – than lining their own pockets? Our roster contains truly forward-thinking companies doing something revolutionary in one way or another.

Come check out the rest of our portfolio of innovative and easy-to-manage brands representing growth industries. We think you’ll agree, it will be time well spent!

So, you have the capital, but not the will to put your money where your future is. You are driven to succeed in business, but are holding out for that “perfect” investment opportunity. Perhaps you seriously looked into a franchise ownership situation before, but weren’t convinced.  Are you willing to take another look at franchising – in the form of safe bets on hot brands in growth industries?

Franchise Growth Systems (FGS) invites you to look at our incredible lineup of brands that we felt deserved to go “viral”. And, if you’ve looked at our roster and the past and weren’t impressed enough to commit to a franchise ownership – we’ve done some housecleaning in recent months and years, and have brought some truly industry-making brands on board who can go a long way towards helping you establish your financial independence, goals, and dreams.

Our brands represent the top 25 growth industries, according to aggregate statistical data, such as:

• Health and Fitness
• Tax and Accounting
• Quick Serve Restaurants
• Hair and Beauty
• Home Improvement/Leisure
• Advertising
• Medical/Dental
• Frozen Yogurt
• Web Development/Internet Marketing
• Retail Toys and Games
• Automotive Repair

Studies show that franchised businesses are surviving much more long-term than their non-franchised counterparts.  This is due, in large part, to the advertising/marketing apparatus that’s in place and working for franchisees from day one. Add to that the training and ongoing support of you and your staff, low royalty payments and cost-deferment for qualified candidates, and Franchise Growth Systems is serving up one whopper of a good deal to business-savvy, financial freedom seekers.

And with our Master Franchising/Regional Development program, your potential ROI skyrockets, as you add regional/territorial dominance, brand primacy of recognition; multiple, residual income streams; royalties for new franchisee recruitment; real estate ownership options; “legacy empire” building, etc. to your operational “footprint”.

With FGS, we’ve taken care of the details, so you can focus on the quality of life that denotes strong franchise ownership!

These days, with Wall Street stocks on shaky ground, and a failure rate for independent ventures that’s virtually cost-prohibitive, franchising – the greatest marketing strategy yet devised – presents the most viable, and indeed ideal, option for business investors looking for one of the “safest” routes to prosperity.

And who isn’t?

The economic indicators speak loudly for a marketplace that’s been in trouble for years, but whose mainstays tend to be – what else? – franchised businesses.  With a traditional success rate much higher than non-franchised businesses, it’s no wonder that franchises have excelled where the “average” have failed.

They also account for 40% of retail sales, while only accounting for 8% of total business types in the marketplace.  A large portion of all franchises are still in business after 5 years.

And along with the overwhelming evidence that points the way to franchising, is the fact that the coming years are projected to be very favorable for taking that step toward financial freedom.

Regional Developer for Franchise Growth Systems (FGS) heavy hitter Massage Envy Freddy O’Pry had this to say on the subject:  “Franchising is the most ideal business investment for several reasons. First, the franchisor has already made all of the costly mistakes which any business makes and knows what to do and what not to do in order for the franchise to succeed – bypassing what are all too common, costly mistakes.

In addition, owning a franchise means that a franchisee is in business for him or herself but not by themselves. The franchisor and fellow franchisees provide an invaluable support team, helping the franchisee on their road to financial success.

Why gamble with your life and your future? Franchising provides the right opportunity at the right time for the right franchisee.”

Marketing Director of FGS, Brandon Veater: “With franchising, and especially master or regional franchising, you are in control of your own destiny. And by selecting the right opportunity and working hard at it, you can build secure future for not only yourself but for generations to come.”

Indeed, master franchising offers the most ideal franchising scenario possible, and is certainly the most direct express route to enjoying all the financial and “quality of life” aspects inherent in the franchising model.

Kim Marinoff of FGS: “Franchising brings jobs to the economy (1 out of 8), freedom and a more preferred lifestyle to individual owners, and is a vehicle to acquiring ‘The American Dream’. Franchising, if properly financed, can be a catalyst to aid U.S. economic recovery and job recovery. 

Also, banks tend to lend more easily to franchise prospects because there is a proven model for owners to follow and the likelihood of success is much greater than ‘going at it on your own’. There are incredible loan programs available, including rolling over 401K, Keogh, SEP's, etc. without tax or penalty, which allows the investment of tax deferred profits back into the business or pension plan.

There are tremendous franchise concepts that can transform an individual's hard-earned capital into an opportunity where they can experience a life filled with prosperity and freedom. People can create and design the life they dream of through franchising!”

The simple fact is people are turning to franchising for many reasons.  Instability in the job market, Wall Street investment a dangerous washout, forced self-employment, and a lack of loyalty and security in the workplace are all important factors. With over 9000 franchise opportunities today, there is literally a business option available for everyone. And with cost-deferment programs and relatively low-cost total investments on single-units with FGS, there’s never been a better time to invest in as secure an option as franchising.

Little to no experience is the norm for most franchisee candidates, yet in most cases is not a factor. The training programs provided by franchise companies are typically state-of-the-art, providing top notch industry expertise. Franchising, as an answer, provides all the training, and on-going support needed to arm business owners with the tools necessary to be successful in an uncertain, volatile marketplace and economy.

Let the business development and franchising experts at FGS guide you to success today!
