IMPORTANT:
As you read this keep in mind that
we are selling the “parent company”, NOT just an individual “franchise” or
territory.
Overview
The company for sale, “TowerCam
Your “niche” will be in the form
of a tripod (or mast system) that
raises up about 60 feet with a digital camera secured up top. This camera is
controlled via a laptop from ground-level. The opportunity is for your customer,
the owners of the system you supply, to make profits shooting residential and
commercial real estate, advertisements, provide an elevated security system for
venues, assist in field studies and so on. This type of system has been
available in Europe for a few years but is almost new to North America. TowerCam
Technically we (you) are NOT a
“franchise” though we use that term loosely in our marketing, and make it clear
to our customers prior to closing a deal that we are NOT a franchise, and make
it clear that there are not any franchise fees, royalties, legal or accounting
fees, etc. That said we also do not
provide any services (accounting,
legal, tax, etc) beyond the selling of the business assets.
What you will provide to new
owners is an all-inclusive, fully tested and ready for operation and profits
photography system that is a business opportunity to your customers and that
provides them a ‘niche’ market to grow in. The new (“franchise”) owner will be
required to own nothing else (beyond a vehicle, a printer to print invoices etc,
and a cell phone). Marketing TowerCam
USA A direct sales approach to
marketing has been used in the past. Almost everything is handled via email and
phone. Details regarding marketing efforts can be discussed after an “NDA/No
Compete” is signed. More specifically TowerCam USA
marketed on the internet on selected websites, I take a few calls from
interested parties, I gather needed gear both locally and internationally (this
is painfully easy), and supply the customer with a great system that they all,
100% are excited to get, can't wait to use, and are terrifically enthusiastic
once they use it. That has ALWAYS been the experience, bar
none. Technology – ease of
use The TowerCam system is reliable
and very simple to use. There is no
technology involved in our system that most people have not already used. As the supplier of this equipment you
will be fully trained on its use so you may speak about
it with authority. It is designed for the masses and is very simple for your
customers to learn. A written manual will be provided as well. We could also put
together a training DVD for you to distribute to your new
owners. MONEY Here is a table of deposits made into the TowerCam account (High Definition LLC). Truthfully, this represents NOTHING compare to what a motivated business owner could do in sales. If you invest more than the 7-10 hours a week that I did then you'll probably do quite well. ASKING PRICE Asking price for this niche, profitable company is $105,000. No financing, I will not carry a note. You may call me directly with questions, I'm happy to help! My reason for selling is I have other business interests taking my time.
Training
Upon sale of the business I will
come to your location and spend 2-3 days training the new owners on the
system we provide (takes about half a day to learn), how to set it up, use it,
support it, we'll talk alot about the customer, marketing, supply sources,
importing etc..
