World-Famous Trademark; World-Class Opportunity
The 7-Eleven Franchise System offers a world-class opportunity to franchise and operate a neighborhood convenience store under the auspices of a world-famous trademark.

7-Eleven's relationship with its Franchisees is multi-faceted. We are not only a franchisor; we also serve as landlord, financing source, record keeper and consultant to the Franchisee. We take an active role in the Franchisee’s business because our success is predicated on their success.

Exceptional Services
7-Eleven provides many services some franchisors either do not provide or, if available, require additional fees. For example:

We obtain and bear the ongoing cost of the land, building and store equipment
We pay water, sewer, gas and electric utilities
We pay for any building rent and property taxes
We provide financing for all normal store operating expenses
We provide record keeping, bill paying and payroll services for store operations
We provide a support structure and a field consultant who meets weekly with the Franchisee to help provide the opportunity to maximize store performance and profitability

Investment in Technology
Our investment in technology and ordering systems leads the industry, and our business model uses technology to put the customer at the center of every decision. We’ve constructed innovative processes to understand and respond to the immediate needs of our customers, and have invested hundreds of millions in the development of a proprietary Retail Information POS scanning system that can:

Enable the Franchisee to always have the products their customers want
Help simplify store operations
Facilitate staffing and delegation

Reasonable Financial Investment
With a moderate investment, you can have an opportunity to reap the benefits of the longevity, stability and proven results of a global company:

Franchise Fee –The Franchisee pays a one-time Franchise Fee. The amount of this fee is based on the individual store’s gross profit, which may vary significantly depending on the area.
Gasoline Fee – If the store is a gasoline location, the Franchisee pays a one-time Gasoline Fee in addition to the Franchise Fee. The amount of this one-time fee is based on the store’s annual total gallons sold for the prior year.
Initial Cash Payment – The Franchisee makes a one-time cash payment in an amount equal to the cost of the store's initial inventory, supplies, business licenses, permits, bonds and cash register fund. As with the Franchise Fee, the amount of this cash payment may vary significantly depending on the area.
“Goodwill” Sales – A prospective Franchisee may wish to purchase a current Franchisee's interest in his or her business for which the prospective Franchisee must negotiate a price with the current Franchisee. This is called a “premium” or "goodwill" sale, although no Trademark goodwill is included. The goodwill price is paid to the current Franchisee and is over and above the Franchise Fee and initial cash payment made to 7-Eleven.

Gross Profit Sharing Arrangement
Once you become a Franchisee, your royalty is a portion of the store’s gross profits. In other words, we have a mutually vested interest in your store’s profitability, not just its sales.

Other Advantage
There are many other “no additional cost” advantages to joining the 7-Eleven Franchise System. Here are just a few:

Training – Prior to taking over the operation of the store, we provide comprehensive training to the Franchisee. We also provide ongoing training opportunities, including in-store computer-based training programs to help the Franchisee train their employees on virtually every aspect of the business.
Indemnification – We provide individual contractual indemnification to Franchisees to help protect them from many of the risks against which most small business persons must insure.
Franchisee “Voice” – Through our Presidents Leadership Council, Franchisee leaders and 7-Eleven management work together to constantly improve our system.

FRANCHISE OPPORTUNITY

THE MARKET

The World
English is a universal language in the business world as well as in other disciplines like Science, Medicine, Law, etc. However, almost 90% of all countries in the world have a mother language other than English and at least two-thirds of the world population do not speak English.

Pressing Need
The new millennium is fast approaching. The Globalization Era is here. More and more foreign companies will establish businesses in Indonesia due to our rich natural resources, relatively cheap labor and a huge potential market. We have a pressing need to train our people to command good English. There is a market throughout the world for English education centers. The time is ripe to deliver these services. The market is huge, the demand pressing and the expanding economies can well afford it.

Indonesia
Mastery of English is the ticket to job employment, higher pay and promotion, thus leading to a better living standard. This has been proven by the presence of so many 'mom and pop" English learning centers in Indonesia, as well as the growing number of students sent to private school, that emphasize teaching English or using English as medium.
An English Learning Center is undoubtedly a Major Business Opportunity - a recession resilient industry.

ILP's Vision
To establish ILP outlets in all major cities in Indonesia and in countries where English is not the official language.
In order to spread opportunities for everyone in all provinces to get International Quality English Learning programs, ILP is now offering a Full Business Format Franchise to any enterpreneur or company or any institution (government, non-profit organization) which is ready to be it's partner and has a serious interest in the education business.

ILP Brand Equity
The importance and long-term value of a brand name cannot be over estimated. A well-known brand name makes it easier to enter a new market or to compete in an established one. As an ILP Franchisee, you automatically inherit the credibility, reputation and goodwill that normally takes a new business many years to achieve.
Over the past 5 years, ILP has invested billions of Rupiah in building brand awareness via a broad spectrum of media that includes television, radio, newspapers and magazines, and newer media such as Internet & WWW.

What being an ILP Franchisee means for you

The ILP Franchise Program is a business system with distinct advantages over "mom and pop" operations from the initial training and ongoing support of a solid corporation to the opportunity to have personal satisfaction that comes from helping people to learn English and become enriched.

A Proven Record of Success System and a Shortened Learning Curve
By becoming an ILP Franchisee, you will automatically acquire a system with a proven record of success that assures you a much higher business success rate than that of an independent business, thereby enjoying a shortened learning curve because you no longer have to start from zero.

Frequently Asked Franchise Questions

2008-02-19T00:24:00.000+07:00

Frequently Asked Franchise Questions

Why Should I Own My Own Business?
- Business ownership offers you the opportunity to take control of your career, finances, schedule and future. You will be your own boss, work hard for yourself, and potentially reap the rewards that business ownership can offer.

How Do I Choose The Right Franchise?
- Deciding which franchise is right for you is a huge decision. The right business should not only interest you, but the initial investment amount must fit into your budget and it should enable you to live the lifestyle you desire (do you want more free time, more money, control over your work environment?). Additionally, any business you choose to buy must meet a market demand in your community. If there is no market demand or the area is already saturated with similar businesses, your new business will not have a bright, long future ahead of it. The best advice is to do your research before signing a franchise agreement. Speak with current and past franchise owners and make sure there is in fact a demand for the business in the area you'd like to open the business.

Why Should I Buy a Franchise?
- Regardless of whether you have industry or business ownership experience, you can purchase most franchises because they offer complete training, comprehensive support from the home office, a proven business system, and a product or service that has proven itself to be popular and in-demand.

How Much Does A Franchise Cost?
- The cost to buy a franchise varies greatly depending on what industry you choose to start the business in, whether the concept requires a storefront, office, home office, or is mobile, what state you buy the business in, and how much overhead your business will require. There are concepts that cost under $10,000 to start and other franchise businesses that require the investor to have millions of dollars in available liquid capital. Additionally, many franchise concepts offer financing or can help you gain financing if you're interested.

Can I Have A Business Partner?
- This varies depending on the preferences of the franchisor but yes, most concepts will allow you to have a financial partner who may also be an operating partner, if you choose.

Can I Own More Than One Franchise?
- Yes, but again, this can vary by franchise concept. Many franchisors will sell area or master franchises within a certain specified territory. These larger territories can be costly. If you own a single franchise and are successful, most franchisors will be pleased to sell you another territory. If you own one concept and would like to purchase another franchise from a different, unrelated brand, this is usually possible unless you plan to buy a competing concept. Make sure to read the entire franchise agreement and also have an attorney who specializes in franchise law look over the agreement before you sign it. Let your attorney know that you plan to purchase another franchise concept in the future, so he can ensure you won't have problems.

How Can I Receive an UFOC from a Franchise Company?
- Inquire to franchise concepts listed on Franchise.com. You will then be contacted by the company. If you are seriously interested in potentially purchasing the concept, they will most likely offer you a copy of their UFOC for review before you make a final decision.

Which States Are Franchise Registration States?
- Fifteen states have franchise investment laws that require franchisors to provide pre-sale disclosures, known as UFOC's to potential purchasers. These states are California, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin.

What Is A Franchise

2008-02-19T00:22:00.000+07:00

What Is A Franchise?

Franchising is a way of doing business. It is a method and marketing tool for companies to expand their market share more rapidly and less expensively.

Some companies, which are thought to franchises, are in fact not franchises. All stores are owned and operated by the company itself (ex. Starbucks, Gap, Victoria's Secret).

There are three basic types of franchises:

Distributorships, which grant the right to sell their parent company's product(s) such as auto dealerships (Toyota, Ford, GM, Mercedes, etc).
Trademark or brand name licensing, which gives the licensees the right to use the parent company's trademark or brand in conjunction with the operation of their own business ie. beverages (CocaCola) and sport franchises (Miami Dolphins, New York Yankees, etc).
Business format franchises, the type most people are familiar with (Subway, Meineke Muffler, Circle K) are the focus of this article.

Business format franchisors offer to their franchisees the license or right to sell its goods or services and/or use its business techniques. The franchisees usually pay an initial fee to acquire this right, and thereafter pay a percentage of their gross sales to the franchisor throughout the term of their franchise contract.

In return for these payments, franchisees gain priveleges, including the right to sell a proven and recognized product or service, to use the franchisor's business practices, and to receive initial training and ongoing support. Additonal responsibilities can and usually do include:

Requirements to meet a variety of quality controls for products and services sold.
Restrictions on what they can sell or how they can operate using the company's name.
Specifications for their business location and site appearance.
Prohibitions on the operation of any similar businesses during or after the term of the franchise agreement.

Franchisees usually have an advantage over their nonfranchisee competitors, since they have the rights to use the franchisor's:

Brand names, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and patents.
Uniform logos, storefronts, and interiors.

By following the franchisor's business practices and offering products that meet the company's standards, franchisees can consistently provide customers with quality goods and services. In the United States the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and certain states can decide if a franchise is acting as a franchisor. If so, they regulate the activities of the franchisor, as to marketing and sales, and distribution of required disclosure information (Offering Circular aka UFOC) about the franchise to prospective purchasers. Certain other countries have similar regulations. Research has shown that the success rate of new franchisees is much higher than that for other new business start-ups.

Franchise Opportunity – Questions To Ask The Franchisor - #33
by: Dennis Schooley

Finding The Right Franchise

Whether it’s hamburgers, pizza, telecom, coffee, Internet, muffler parts, or seniors’ services, there are Franchise opportunities available to evaluate. There are great Franchise systems, good Franchise systems, and bad Franchise systems. The challenge is to ask the right questions to find the right system that will fit your goals and dreams. The key is to ask the questions – and listen closely to the responses. Only then can you determine if the Franchise opportunity is the right fit for you. So whether it’s food services like burgers or coffee, professional services like telecom or IT, or manual services like cleaning or oil changes, ask the questions and record the answers.

How Big Is The Market?

The Franchisor should have a good handle on the available market for the product or service that you will be offering as a Franchisee. Presumably the Franchisor has done extensive research on the current market size, as well as the potential market size for the future.

The Franchisor should be willing to share that information with you so you can assess the data to make sure that the opportunity is going to be of sufficient size to satisfy your own goals. You may have to sign a non-disclosure agreement first, but the information is important to you, so it must be assessed. The whole idea of Franchising is to ensure that the goals and dreams of the Franchisee, and those of the Franchisor, are unified. If the market availability will allow for strategies to be implemented by you, which are consistent with your goals, and those penetration goals are congruent with the Franchisor’s goals, then all is good.

If it’s a long-standing and stable market, then there should be plenty of statistics to back up that conclusion. If it’s a new and burgeoning market, there should be analysis that you can assess to give you a comfort level that you, together with Franchisor, can go get a significant share. If it’s a fad market, or limited life market, then the strategies should reflect that, as should the agreements.

The caution is that if the Franchisor is wishy-washy about the market, or is unwilling to discuss the issue in depth with you, that should be a significant warning sign.

MindLab is the worlds leading provider of life skills education to children. MindLab programmes are offered in school hours or after school and use carefully selected games and puzzles from around the world to develop and sharpen children's thinking, problem-solving and interpersonal skills - all whilst having a wonderful time! Through the well structured curriculum, children learn how to apply these essential life-skills to everyday situations.

Kids can't get enough of it - MindLab is stimulating and great fun

Parents love it - MindLab provides children with the skills they need to succeed in life in an enjoyable and enriching way.

Schools love it – MindLab provides a highly engaging programme which improves children’s scholastic performance, as well as transferable thinking, social and emotional intelligence skills. MindLab provides all the resources needed to bring this enrichment programme to schools including: trained MindLab teachers, games, curriculum and exercise books for the pupils.

Demand for MindLab facilities is huge but you can chose how large to grow your MindLab business and reap the corresponding financial rewards.

A MindLab franchisee operates their business in a specific contiguous geographical territory of approximately 40 specified schools within an LEA. A franchisee offers MindLab classes for an hourly fee per student to a variety of pupils in a mix of services which could include after school clubs, school partnerships and holiday programmes.

The revenue a franchisee can earn from running MindLab classes depends entirely on the amount if time they want to invest in their MindLab business. As an example, if a franchise has an average number of 20 students per class and runs 15 hours of MindLab classes per week, in a 44 week year they could make over RP 1000,000,000 ( 1 Billion rupiah) of profit.

Franchisees can make additional income by offering more MindLab classes, running holiday programmes and summer camp programmes which have not been included in the above projections.

MindLab which was developed over 13 years ago, is well established internationally, over one million students in over 30 countries have benefited from MindLab programmes. MindLab Indonesia was launched in September 2007 and is growing at a rapid pace. We, and our new franchisees have had a highly enthusiastic response from pupils, parents and schools who are as excited about the MindLab programme as we are.

You'll love MindLab too! MindLab offers all the rewards of running your own business as well as the job satisfaction of making a real difference to the life of hundreds of school children, their families and the wider community - helping children to improve scholastically, build better personal relationships, relate to and cooperate with others and learn how to tackle life's problems and challenges.

MindLab COST

The cost of a MindLab franchise, which gives you exclusive rights to run MindLab programmes in a specified geographic territory, is RP 260,000,000.

A contract extension fee of RP 180,000,000 is due in five years.

MindLab will receive on ongoing royalty of 12% of student revenues, or the minimum performance targets, which ever is greater, as per the following schedule:

1st year - Rp 1,800,000 per month (commencing 3 months after signing for the next 9 months)

2nd year - RP 2,700,000 per month

3rd year - RP 3,600,000 per month

4th year and hereafter - RP 4,500,000 per month

Seven Secrets to Buying a Franchise

Seven Secrets to Buying a Franchise
by: Joan Yankowitz

There are great benefits to owning a franchise. You often can sell goods and services that have instant name recognition and can obtain training and ongoing support to help you succeed.

But be cautious before you sign on the dotted line.

1. Know How Much You Can Invest - A franchisor may tell you how much you can afford to invest or that you can't afford to pass up this opportunity. Before beginning to explore investment options, consider the amount you feel comfortable investing and the maximum amount you can afford.

2. Know What Type of Business is Right for You - A franchisor may attempt to convince you that an opportunity is perfect for you. Only you can make that determination. Consider the industry that interests you before selecting a specific franchise system. Ask yourself the following questions: Have I considered working in that industry before? Can I see myself engaged in that line of work for the next twenty years?

3. Realistically Evaluate Your Own Background and Skills - If the industry does not appeal to you or you are not suited to work in that industry, do not allow a franchisor to convince you otherwise. Spend your time focusing on those industries that offer a more realistic opportunity.

4. Take the Time to Comparison Shop — Talk to or visit several franchisors engaged in the type of industry that appeals to you. Get answers to the following questions:

• How long has the franchisor been in business?
• How many franchised outlets currently exist?
• Where are they located?
• How much is the initial franchise fee and any additional start-up costs?
• Are there any continuing royalty payments?
• How much?
• What management, technical, and ongoing assistance does the franchisor offer?
• What controls does the franchisor impose?

5. Get Substantiation for Any Earnings Representations — Some franchisors may tell you how much you can earn if you invest in their franchise system or how current franchisees in their system are performing. Be careful. The FTC requires that franchisors who make such claims provide you with written substantiation. Make sure you ask for and obtain written substantiation for any income projections, or income or profit claims. If the franchisor does not have the required substantiation, or refuses to provide it to you, consider its claims to be suspect.

6. Avoid High Pressure Sales Tactics — You may be told that the franchisor's offering is limited, that there is only one territory left, or that this is a one-time reduced franchise sales price. Do not feel pressured to make any commitment. Legitimate franchisors expect you to comparison shop and to investigate their offering. A good deal today should be available tomorrow.

7. Study the Franchisor's Offering — Do not sign any contract or make any payment until you have the opportunity to investigate the franchisor's offering thoroughly. The FTC's Franchise Rule requires the franchisor to provide you with a disclosure document containing important information about the franchise system. Study the disclosure document. Take time to speak with current and former franchisees about their experiences. Because investing in a franchise can entail a significant investment, you should have an attorney review the disclosure document and franchise contract and have an accountant review the company's financial disclosures.
