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!

NEXTAFF 
Cash Needed: $150K
Total Investment: $123K-$152K
Current Locations: 89
NEXTAFF is based on the simple premise that companies are always looking to hire, and people are always looking for jobs - they match companies with employees. Their franchise owners help companies find temporary, temporary-to-hire, or direct hire employees within IT, healthcare, and commercial industries. This is all done through their proprietary X-FACTOR method which has been statistically proven to outperform a traditional staffing competitor or HR department by as much as 100%! NEXTAFF's X-FACTOR method is only one of the ways that they have innovated the staffing industry to create a better system for their franchisees. NEXTAFF has spent the past 25+ years devoted to bettering the staffing industry and their business model for the success of their current and future franchise owners.
One of the biggest differentiators between NEXTAFF and other staffing companies is how they collect royalty payments. At NEXTAFF, their royalty fees are based on gross wages, not gross revenue or gross profit. Because the business is structured this way, NEXTAFF is usually 15%-40% more cost-effective than their competition and their franchisees receive around 30% in savings.
NEXTAFF's franchisees have access to a back-office that supports over 10,000 employees. While their franchisees have their responsibilities, the NEXTAFF support team covers specific aspects needed for the business to run smoothly like employee application compliance, payroll, a CRM platform with marketing and activity tracking, recruiting, and retention strategies, and more.
The staffing industry grew from $81 billion in 2009 to $151 billion in 2019; making it one of the fastest-growing segments. This industry gives people the opportunity to not only focus on their bottom-line but also enjoy the personal fulfillment that comes with helping businesses and individuals in their community.

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.
