Welcome to Crane Business Solutions - The Franchise
Starting your own business from scratch can be a daunting and risky enterprise. But it doesn't have to be that way. We provide a way to bypass most of those challenges with our "business-in-a-box" Crane Business Solutions Franchise. You'll be handed a business that is ready to go from day one! Most of the hard work is already done for you.
Here's what you'll get:
- Consumable products
- No territory limitations
- All the processes
- A ready-to-go business
- Websites, advertising, publicity
- Product sourcing done for you
- Access to unlimited products
What makes our products ideal for a franchise?
We sell products that businesses need on a daily basis. If you take a look around your office, you’ll likely see several (or even dozens) of the kinds of items we sell. Paper, pens, ink, staplers, business cards, stationery, envelopes, promotional gift items (yes, including pens), calendars, desk organisers, and many more. This means that our (potential) customers are just about everywhere.
Crane Franchise Benefits From The Perfect Combination
When I first started, one of my mentors told me to focus on consumable items – and I’m glad I followed his advice! Almost all of the products we sell are used up quickly, so our customers need to get more on a regular basis.
If you look at franchises around you, you’ll probably see McDonalds, KFC, Starbucks, and many other food-related brands. They all offer consumable items. Unfortunately, their items are also perishable, which causes certain challenges.
Our Crane franchise offers the best of both worlds – our products “run out” and need to be replenished, but we don’t have to worry about them actually going bad and having to be thrown out!
Could you run a Crane franchise as a part-time business?
Since we’re doing most of the back office work for you, and you can hire a sales person or three to help you grow your customer base, you could indeed run your new Crane franchise on a part-time basis! Depending on the size of your customers’ businesses, you may be able to break even with as few as 30 accounts. That’s very achievable! Anything beyond that takes you straight into profit!
