"When
you call Sign Biz, Inc. any work day of the year,
you reach a real-- and knowledgeable-- person.
The policy is-- you're too important for voicemail."
Sign
Biz Inc. does not employ brokers to sell to you on commission. Their
$8,000 to $12,000 average fees are instead channeled back into product
and services for each new Network Member. You get far more for your
investment this way! There can be other disadvantages to the
"broker format" of business solicitation as well. To learn
more, click on "Broker Beware."
Why
not a franchise?
If you read a franchise contract
carefully, you will see that the percentage paid
every month to the franchisor by its franchisees
is strictly for the use of a common name.
 According
to the Woodrow Wilson Institute of Scholarly
Research in Washington, DC, some industries merit
a franchise format, i.e. when the name
can bring business. The fast-food industry is
such as case, where uniformity is key and
consumer advertising is relevant.
Whereas
a franchise organization will collect 6 to 8% of
their business owners' gross sales each and every
month, whether or not that business is operating
in the black, Sign Biz Inc operates as the only
full-service VAR for all of the industry's leading
software and hardware suppliers.
That means that by assisting
our stores in channeling their profits back in to
their local marketplace and their business, we
can create the phenomenal success that leads to
prolific sales of products and services. We call this the Sign
Biz Merit System.
We
offer a free business plan
tutorial you can visit right now
to learn how different business formats impact on
business revenues. Warning: This is not
for the faint-hearted!
What
about the
UFOC?
Here is an important document if you take the time to
read it carefully. Near the front of the document you
will find disclosure of all lawsuits filed by
franchisees against the franchisor in progress,
completed, or pending. Note too that franchisors are
required to disclose which franchisees "left the
system" in the past 12 months. This information
is usually located near the end of the Uniform
Franchise Offering Circular. You may find anywhere
from 12 to 36 former franchisees listed there, for the most recent
12-month period. The
Federal Trade Commission states that as part of
normal due diligence, it is important to contact
these individuals to learn why they left the
franchise operation behind.
 According
to the same study mentioned above by the Woodrow
Wilson Institute of Scholarly Research, 42% of
franchise location close or are resold by the
franchisor. In this way the franchisor does not
have to include those resales in their total of
"failed" locations. A franchisor that
resells a failed location more than once is suspect
for "churning"-- wherein the franchisor can
be accused of having an interest only in gaining
hefty franchise fees, transfer fees and training fees
during the resale, rather than an interest in the
ultimate success of a franchisee in that location.
Sign
Biz Inc, a full-service business development company,
provides a disclosure document (the business
opportunity equivalent to a franchise's UFOC) which
reveals the following:
-
Sign
Biz Inc. has had fewer than one-half of one percent of
its stores available for resale in any
of the past 12 years.
-
Sign
Biz Inc. has never had a lawsuit filed
against it by any of its Network Members.
