In general, is franchising right for you?

Why spend months or years developing any business from scratch?  Do your own research and you'll find that private and government sponsored studies conclude that franchise businesses are much more likely to succeed.  The findings are numerous and conclusive.  There's a reason for that; you'll uncover it in your research.  

If you would like to own and operate your own business that follows a proven model and begins with great deal of momentum from day one, then becoming a franchise owner may be a good choice for you,  no matter the industry or type of business.

Our Franchise Program

We are looking for bright, creative people who are interested in running their own business built on a successful, proven business model.  Franchise owners are licensing the exclusive use of our system for specific areas of the country in a protected territory model.

We provide everything you need to operate your own media preservation business beginning with comprehensive in-person training at our Atlanta headquarters.  If awarded a franchise, you'll spend time in Atlanta working side-by-side our staff in a production environment.  When you get back to own your hometown, you'll have the necessary working experience to put our proprietary software, hardware and methods into action.

We provide you with guidance on about 150 items needed to operate one of our franchises.   This is everything you need from specific computer systems, bar-code scanners, thermal disc printers, our own branded media bought with bulk-purchasing power to name a few.  We provide every detail down to a box-cutter.  Why?  You'll need the box-cutter to open sealed packages that arrive via courier.   With our program, no stone is left unturned.

We have online step by step policies and procedures, available at a private franchisee portion of our website.  Uniform training, procedures and "the franchise recipe" ensure a consistent, highly-uniform, repeatable and successful brand deliverable.

Once you're in business for yourself, our corporate office provides you with ongoing marketing support, telephone support, a complete accounting system, ongoing technical research and development and general technical support.

Literally, nothing is unplanned:  we have spent years and made a substantial capital investment to develop our own proprietary formula.

From agreement date, it takes roughly 45 calendar days to have a non-retail franchise trained, stocked and ready to process regional orders.
