The biggest question asked by
potential Franchise owners is
"What do I get for my money?"
or "I could do this on
my own, right?" Once you've
read through these pages, you
will have a better understanding
of what you get for your money
and why being part of Computer
Medics of America®, Inc.
is so important to be a successful
business owner.
Every Franchise
Owner is provided with the tools
necessary to solve just about
any problem. It is our policy
to never just “reformat
a hard drive” unless all
else fails, and we never charge
for a “house call”
that does not fix the problem.
As a Computer
Medics of America®, Inc.
Franchise owner you can potentially
make anywhere from $30,000 to
$100,000 or more per year. A
typical day is 1-4 appointments
at 1-2 hours per appointment
at $40-$95 per hour.
Because almost
all Computer Medics of America®,
Inc. Franchises are mobile services,
the operating costs are minimal
yet the tax breaks available
allow you to write off your
vehicle, computers, and the
portion of your home and the
utilities used for your office/workspace.
National
statistics show
that Franchising
is a much lower
risk compared to
an independent business
(U.S. Statistics): |
| |
| * Franchising accounts
for 40.9% of all retail
sales – International
Franchise Association |
| |
| * More than 60%
of independent businesses
fail while 95% of
Franchises succeed
– U.S. Dept
Of Commerce |
| |
| * The growth rate
of Franchising in
the economy is 6 times
faster than the economy
as a whole –
International Franchise
Association |
| |
| * A study by Arthur
Anderson and Company
of 366 Franchise companies
in 60 industries reported
that nearly 86% of
all Franchise operations
opened were still
under the same ownership
after 5 years. Only
3% of these Franchises
were no longer in
business. |
| |
| * In contrast, a
study by the U.S.
Small Business Administration
revealed that 62.2%
of all new businesses
were dissolved within
the first six years
of their operation,
due to failure, bankruptcy,
retirement or other
reasons. |
