WHY CHOOSE ABSOLUTE FRANCHISING?

Absolute Franchising was formed as a totally unique approach to assisting the entrepreneur in starting and rolling out a franchise program. We're not just a consultant, we're an entrepreneurial partner. This means that most of the risk and details are eliminated for you, the franchisor.

Retail franchising is our only business and we are unparalleled in expertise and resources. We have more than 50 years experience in the franchise industry including experience both as franchisees and franchisors. We are active in the franchise industry. As the franchisor of HobbyTown USA, we are involved in the day-to-day operations of a franchise system and are in tune with the needs of both the franchisor and franchisees. This gives us a unique perspective and offers you an insight into operation of a successful franchise system.

ABSOLUTE FRANCHISING PROGRAMS

Quick Start Program The Quick Start Program is aimed at those entrepreneurs that need expertise to "jump start" their business expansion vision. This program provides the essential franchise documents and services needed to begin a franchise venture for a business that already has comprehensive support staff and support documentation in place. The Quick Start Program includes the following:

• A Uniform Franchise Offering Circular (UFOC) that meets Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requirements
• A Franchise Agreement
• Trade Name Registration
• Web Domain Name Registration

Turn Key Program Absolute Franchising's Turn Key Program is designed to provide all of the necessary supplementary documents, services and materials needed to complete a comprehensive franchise system. The Turn Key Program includes all of the documents and services in the Quick Start Program plus the following:

• Comprehensive Operations Manual
• Franchise Marketing/Sales Materials
• Franchise Sales Manual
• Franchise Rollout Marketing Plan
• Control and Documentation System

Partnership Program In place of fee-based programs that offer documentation and services but have no guarantee of success, Absolute Franchising offers a unique program called the Partnership Program. Under this program, Absolute Franchising shares the risk of development and start-up, and profits only if the program is successful. With the Partnership Program, you enter in a joint partnership venture with Absolute Franchising. We combine your business expertise with our expertise in franchise rollout and management offering you a greater chance for success.

The Partnership Program offers all of the documents and services provided in the Quick Start Program and Turn Key Program as well as many of the On-Going Support services offered by Absolute Franchising. There are minimal costs associated with program development, but these costs are only a fraction of the normal expense involved with the development and rollout of a franchise system. Absolute Franchising, like the franchisor, has a vested financial interest in the program and therefore maintains a sincere desire to see positive results.

Not all qualify for development under our Partnership Program. Each applicant is carefully reviewed and analyzed for acceptance. This selectivity protects the resources of Absolute Franchising's associates and guarantees time and attention for each franchisor - large or small.

Let us help you franchise your business and put you on a fast track to successon how to franchise your business.
