So Why Not Buy A Sign Franchise?

What On-Site Graphics has created is the structure and framework to let your creativity take wings on your customer's designs and projects. A franchise is a very good business model because it is based on systems so that almost anybody can recreate the success of the founders of the concept; however, it has become very expensive to set up a franchise, in most cases nearly $100K just for legal fees. Where franchise fees were once used to support the franchisee, they now have to go to the recouping of these expenses. Un-Franchising is our way of giving you all the benefits of a franchise, the system and support structures, but not the additional recurring costs.

As the developers of the On-Site Graphics system we have made the decision to forego many of the benefits that a franchise would afford us, to make sure that the system works for the small business person. Recurring fees are one of the tests for a business being a franchise, so you the buyer of an On-Site Graphics trailer will never be charged a fee for the use of our intellectual property. The system and the training is really the key to a good franchise, and ours is as thorough as any in the franchise world. Another test of a business being a franchise is the use of a name. You can not name your business On-Site Graphics. Our corporate owned test business is called Island Reflections Corporation, just as your business will require some other name.

Ninety-five percent of businesses fail in the first five years. This is a shame because some of those businesses were very good ideas. What of the good businesses, and if they were good why did they fail? Small business is often described as getting a mountain of small, though not necessarily difficult tasks accomplished in a routine and organized manner. That is where we come in; our manuals and systems create the framework that keeps all the little details of your business in order so you can remain focused on more important issues. We also supply a turnkey solution. If you were to pay yourself while trying to locate, purchase and setup your own business you would easily approach the cost of the On-Site Graphics purchase and you would still not have all the systems and knowledge that we will supply you with. Often people feel that having a system stifles their creativity; in our experience a well-defined system that deals with the mundane allows you more creativity and freedom.

With On-Site Graphics you can have confidence in the system; this is not the first business that either of us has started. With a wealth of experience in many different businesses we are able to refine what works and remove what either doesn't work or does not offer the level of payback that a successful business should be striving for. For any business to be successful you will need capital to get started, time to get to a positive cash flow and the experience to make it there with the least amount of mistakes. On-Site Graphics uses Un-Franchising to keep your capital investment low and have applied our business experience to create a system that will help you in running your business. More importantly we are using the On-Site Graphics system in our own business; this allows the system and training to be modified as new ideas come out.
