What is a Franchise?
In a Franchise business model, the franchisee (you,
the entrepreneur) will pay fees to the franchisor (the franchising company) to
set up your business using the franchisors trade name, branding, logo, promotional
materials, etc. The franchisor will
provide training, operations manuals, and a variety of other tools that you can
and must use. The fees paid by the
franchisee include an upfront franchise fee as well as an ongoing royalty paid
on a regular basis. Typically the
geographic area in which a franchisee can operate is limited by the franchisor.
The fast food industry is a good example of the franchise business model. The
benefits to this model are that you typically have a well structured business
model that hopefully is “tried and true”. The downside is the franchisor will
have very strict controls over how you can run your business.
What is a Business Opportunity?
A Business Opportunity
model is a bit different, and is a bit more varied. In a nutshell, when you purchase a business
opportunity, you are given the products to sell, but are free to run your
business as you see fit. This gives you, the business owner, much more freedom
to operate your company the way you want to without the requirements imposed by
franchise procedures and policies.
However, in many scenarios, you will not get much support from the host
corporation. Usually there is only an upfront fee to purchase the
business. After that, you’re on your
own. There are exceptions, however, And EASI is one of them. Read on…
What is an EASI Business Opportunity
This brings us to… us. Here at EASI, we technically offer a
business opportunity, but is more of a hybrid business model. You’ll be in business for yourself, but not by yourself. EASI has developed and
assembled proven technologies that form a complete, generally passive energy
savings system that saves electricity on motors, lights, air conditioning,
refrigeration, etc. You’ll be part of the “green” movement by reducing the energy
consumption, and thus energy costs, for other businesses. With our Energy
Saving Business Opportunity, as an Authorized Affiliate of EASI, you will own
your own business, with your own business name, promotional materials, etc. You
will only pay a one-time fee for this business opportunity. However, the
difference with EASI is our ongoing support. Our Affiliates receive ongoing
training, sales and marketing materials, and regular seminars and conferences.
Also, in our business model we work with you directly with every one of your
projects. Our staff and engineers are an extension of your business.
