& Benefits
FRANCHISE
FEES AND ROYALTIES
An
important part of POSTAL CENTER USA is that our consultant fee is included
in the one time turnkey price. There are no royalties or franchise fees
to be paid. The average royalty fee for the industry is 6% with a 1%-2%
advertising fee. This substantially reduces your net profit. With POSTAL
CENTER USA, that stays as part of your bottom line.
LOW
OVERHEAD AND LOW START-UP COSTS
POSTAL
CENTER USA can be operated with only one full time and one part-time employee.
This keeps overhead low and profits high. POSTAL CENTER USA has one of
the lowest start-up costs in the industry and, with our many businesses
in one store concept, it easily makes it the best package in the industry.
INDEPENDENCE
POSTAL
CENTER USA allows the owner complete independence in operating his own
center but he still has the many advantages in being associated with a
chain. U.S. Department of Commerce records indicate that 85% of all national
chain businesses in the U.S. are still flourishing after 5 years -whereas
80% of all independent businesses are out of business within the same
5 year period.
