Description:
I have been working in the franchise and business opportunity industry for 7 years. Actually my position was advertising and closing deals. If there was a website like this one, we would have had no choice to join and become a member!! ( Not even a second thought!!!)

We spent $40,000.00 having this custom website built and 6 months. The only reason it has failed up to this point is because the business plan calls for it to be in the top six as a sponsered link on all major search engines. We were miss-qouted by a company that always was right on the money as far as costs on other projects. They told us it would take $15,000.00 per month, when it really takes about $8,000.00 per day!! ( big differance)

The way that website has to be marketed is a way that the fanchise and business business opportunity sellers would in a way be forced to join our website.

The National Franchise Business Bueau is similer to the BBB, however when I used to work for a business opportunity seller we would get complaints from the BBB and all we would do is send in a copy of our agreement and show where we were covered and the complaint always was dismissed!! Why... the BBB is not equiped to handle complaints for this industry. The National Franchise Business Bureau entire complaint system is based on the laws and possible violations of the Federal Trade Commission(FTC Franchise Rule). Meaning that we would be the go to source before anyone considers buying a franchise or business opportunity.

The website itself is amazing and the back end of it( the admin section) Basically it works on auto pilot. It is 100% turnkey!! We are willing to give up a percentage of the company and most important we are not asking for a check to move forward, rather we are looking for someone/group to pay the advertising until we start breaking even and the most important matter to consider, we very easily chould be showing a profit after a few months, no longer than 6 months and than comes directly from the way the business plan is based on, by being at the top of all major search engines for tens of thousands of keywords and phrases.

Please contact me and I would be happy to explain in greater detail. The main reason I came up with this website is because I was involved with a business opportunity that was shut down by the FTC and if there was a website like this we would have known that we were not operating correctly and would still be in business.

The crazy part to this whole thing is that the FTC does not require registration when someone starts selling a franchise or business opportunity, they only require that you hand out the proper disclosures and abide by there rules.

We have almost 4,000 companies in our database, built in the website. Profits, just on annual membership fee's are around 30 million and on the advertising side we are looking at monthly billing that adds up to be an additional 30 to 50 million a year.

Please contact me with any addistional questions you might have.

Thank You,
Andrew Steinberg
