jbi dealership versus a franchise

many of you are wondering what is the difference between a jbi dealership and a franchise. well the difference is drastic. the first major difference is we have waived all franchise fees...some of you think there is a catch. well there is no catch (if you really want we will charge you a $50,000.00 fee) the reason we can do this is because we are banking on having a large dealer network, each one purchasing the products from us (10%markup) we know this will happen because, with most of you researching our two services the kitchen cabinet restoration service and the garage makeover service, you will see the the markets are massive and the potential is unlimited, with a great profit margin. when you combine both of these services, you have no competition. there is no large startup costs other than for the in depth training that you receive. when you complete the jbi training program ,you join a dealer network that cares,(and if you know the owners you will see why)  our training program is intense,with ongoing support.  our products have been specifically designed for our services,we do not simply use products from any store. our ongoing support provides assistance with ongoing training,in management and production.  we are always upgrading ,or improving our services, and we are always adding new products and services, keeping you ahead of the competition. during the length of your contract you can simply add new jbi products and services, to your contract free of charge, except for any training that might be required. another major advantage of being a jbi dealer,is that you have full control over how your business is run.we will provide assistance, or guidance to help you succeed.  whereas owning a franchise you are required and controlled in most decision making. this could be a problem especially for those of you who decided that you wanted to own your own business to have that freedom. purchasing a franchise can be very expensive,and there is no guarantee of success. franchise agreements are usually drafted by the franchisor and they favor the franchisor over the franchisee.  the jbi dealer contract is the most simplisic in the industry.everything is upfront with no hidden clauses. a lot of franchisors promise training and support,but they may not be as good as promised.with some franchises,franchisees are charged large amounts for products,and in many cases franchisees are charged ,for advertising and other items. 
the difference is huge..........................you decide................................
