Use Your IRA/401K
to Fund Your Business
If you have retirement funds that you have not yet paid taxes on, you can access those funds to capitalize a business. You can then
use those funds to buy a business, for any business expense, and to pay salary!
You are in control, you decide how much of your retirement funds you wish to use for the business. When working with a company that specializes in this
funding option, and follows all of the IRS guidelines, you are able to buy a business Debt Free and Equity Rich (from the rollover of your IRA/401K funds).
Additionally, you'll have a new 401K/Profit Sharing Plan that you can begin to contribute Tax Deferred.

The Fear Factor of Buying a Franchise
Author and Philosopher Bertrand Russell once said "To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom."
Buying a franchise is one of the biggest decisions you will ever make, so feeling fear is not only normal, it is entirely appropriate to the situation.
Who has fear? Everyone! Fear prevents us (most of us, anyway) from jumping out of a moving car or going over a waterfall in a barrel. Fear helps us make choices that are less likely to endanger our lives. Fear also prevents us from gambling our life's savings on a horse race or marrying someone we've known only a few days.
However, when we feel we have enough information about a subject, we can often get over fear and do things that were beyond our comfort zone.
If you are one of those people who has done your homework and found the franchise opportunity you've always dreamed of but can't seem to commit to a decision, then the final doubts you have are probably about your own abilities rather than the franchise itself.
This is where a qualified franchise consultant can help you. By assessing your interests, skills and experience, a consultant can guide you to a decision where risks are at an acceptable level and the benefits, while not certain, are well worth the effort.
The only problem with fear is when you allow it to stop you from doing something you know will make a positive difference in your life.
Don't let fear stop you from reaching your goals!

SNA provides an expansive line of nutrition and dietary supplements; while eliminating the nutrition "clutter" that so many consumers get bogged down with. Their goal is to help their customers achieve healthy fit lives, whether you are an avid gym goer, weight lifter, weekend warrior, recreational or lifestyle user.
SNA offers their franchisees territory exclusivity to the products they carry, ensuring that no one in your area will be able to compete with you and these products are not available online. This creates a winning combination in this fast growing industry.
Sports Nutrition Authority franchisees will receive coaching/training directly from the franchisor co-founders. With Sports Nutrition Authority, there are several avenues to generate additional revenue streams through partnerships at local levels.
Three quarters of U.S. consumers say that maintaining a balanced and healthy lifestyle is important to them. There has been a rise in "lifestyle users" who look to sports nutrition above benefits of exercise related nutrition. SNA presents an opportunity to be part of a franchise in a growing industry with big gains.

What is an Area Representative or Master Franchise?
Some franchises have opportunities known as Area Representative or Master Franchise. An Area Representative Franchise involves the development of a geographic region that can be as small as a single city or as large as an entire state; while a Master Franchise is normally reserved for the development of an entire country. You purchase the right to develop a designated area and share in the franchise fees and royalties with the franchisor. You work closely with commercial real estate agents, business brokers and consultants in the development of your area. The investment needed to secure an Area Representative or Master Franchise opportunity can start as low as $150K depending the franchise, size of the population and the geographic area.
