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!

Global has been helping people who want to get into the business of providing loans to real estate investors and small to medium size businesses, who cannot get financing at their local banks.
Why Choose Global?

Today, banks are turning down 80%-90% of loan applicants and only accepting A+ credits. You will be able to approve 40%-60% of those turn downs. You will immediately begin providing loans from $5,000 to $500 million, earning up to 15% commissions. Global's business opportunity is not a franchise, therefore there are no royalties or on-going fees once you finish your training. With Global's Mentoring Program, you will have lifetime support, with no additional fees. The Global Financial Training Program allows you to make a six-figure income quickly. This business can be started from a home or office with very little overhead. Global's graduates have educations of all levels, from housewives to bankers, and everyone in between.

Because they are located in attractive suburban centers close to their customers' home, their customers have all of their financial needs taken care of conveniently and efficiently, in an environment that is upbeat, professional and friendly.

Their underlying business model is exceptional, providing good income and high return on investment. Their only inventory is cash, and they open and close their teller stations daily, just like a bank. The business can be run with one to two people, and the owner can bring on a manager to run the store once the business has ramped up.
If you are an individual looking for a franchise business opportunity that offers real value to the customer and real financial rewards to you, then Family Financial Centers may be the right choice. They offer a variety of investment options including single store, multiple stores, acquisitions (existing stores with cash flow that would be eligible for conversion), and regional development licenses.
The current economic climate is actually conducive to the Family Financial Centers business, so FFC franchisee business owners are able to start and build a successful business at a time when other franchise businesses are suffering. With Family Financial Centers, you will be operating a branch bank for the ever-growing market of people living "paycheck to paycheck" that depend on FFC's services.

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.
