The Postal Connections Advantages are Extraordinary
Ask about how we can help you get into business.
Postal Connections has many options to finance your store.
One way is to lease your store with a $1 buyout at the end of five years. This method does not require “putting up” your home or other assets to buy our franchise. For those who qualify, you will be able to finance most of the initial investment and get funded rapidly once you qualify. We offer a free pre-qualification analysis to determine if your information indicates that you will qualify.
Postal Connections is a Small Business Administration (SBA) approved franchise, which makes it easier for you to obtain financing and also speeds up the loan process for you. We have SBA sourcing firms available to identify a lender for you and we will assist you through the process. SBA funding usually requires 30% cash from you to fund the initial investment. We offer a free pre-qualification analysis to determine if your information indicates that you will qualify.
Your 401K or IRA also can be used to fund your franchise business. Postal Connections makes available to you a financial source to help establish your franchise business as a 401K or IRA investment. This option is becoming popular with people who are tried of working for others and want to own their own business. We are happy to introduce you to advisors who can guide you with this method.
Self funding is the most economical way to finance your franchise business. We will work with you to open an attractive and efficient store by helping to hold down cost, install a turn-key store without delays, and source vendors and supplies. Our comprehensive training and operations and marketing guidance will have you in business rapidly.
When you join Postal Connections you receive an extraordinary value at 4% royalty and no ad fee.
We provide you with assistance for opening, grand opening marketing, and operating your store. A total of nine days of comprehensive training is provided.
