    I im actually looking to open a US based franchise company.
    Im looking for something like Starbucks (they dont do franchise)
    So a gourmet coffee store/shop is what im looking for.

    Do you guys have any suggestions? I was looking at a franchise
    called Maui Wowi, do they have good coffee? They have to be able
    to franchise international because i live in sweden.

    As it got closer to date and so on, found out that i have no say and they have the store how they want and like.

    Which is also not a big deal, at the end of day some franchises are really good and some are just too much of risk in my opinion.

    I did half the money to go into the business other half would have to be borrowed was too much of risk for me to take.

    So i went back to my personal training to save up some more hehehe..

    There are so many franchise beside fastfood which are equally lucrative. Here is a quick example over the top of my head:

    1. wedding and social event planning; here could sell bridal gown and gifts and stuff like that.

    2.Landscape; an easy to start business for commercial clients if u like getting hands dirty or u could provide some immigrant with the tools to do the job and handle the transaction.

    3. Car wash on a busy traffic; all u gotta do is purchase the equipments needed and get a lease.

    4. If u live in big cities: starting a limo service is another option to get u going. You will also meet high profile people

    5. or start your own retail store that especiaize in quality paint only. The idea behind this business strategy is that when customer go to place such HomeDepo they get confuse. Therefore your objective is to remove that confusion when they come or hear about your store....


    Hope that helps.

    My father owns a manufacturing company and is having more and more trouble competing with chinese products. I was thinking about opening a factory in a foreign country. How hard would it be to manage from the U.S. what would be the best country to do this in? Do some countries make it hard for a U.S. resident to open a business in their country? He currently has a plant in my home town and one in Mexico. The products made in mexico are really poor quality though and are sold under a different name. P.S. I FUKKIN HATE FOREIGN MADE PRODUCTS!!! I went to buy some new shoes the other day and they were all made in another country. Mostly china. EXCEPT New Balance shoes which are still made in the U.S.A. BUT all the New Balance styles sucked. I was so fukkin pissed I didnt buy any shoes at all. Im going to go online and see if NB has any decent styles. Another question; If New Balance can make HIGH QUALITY shoes at cometitive prices in the U.S. why cant Nike, Puma, etc...? My guess is greed. Makes me sick!!!!! Oh ya, so I dont sound hypocritical. I hate the idea that a business must go to a foreign country to remain competitive, but until something changes small business owners will do what they have to do to survive. I fukking hate china. Not chinese, just the chinese government

    Taking advice from you is like getting sex advice from DSM. If you listen, you'll end up with shit all over your dick.

    We're dicks! We're reckless, arrogant, stupid dicks. And some members of this board are pvssies. And J431S is an asshole. Pvssies don't like dicks, because pvssies get fvcked by dicks. But dicks also fvck assholes: assholes that just want to shit on everything. Pvssies may think they can deal with assholes their way. But the only thing that can fvck an asshole is a dick, with some balls. The problem with dicks is: they fvck too much or fvck when it isn't appropriate - and it takes a pvssy to show them that. But sometimes, pvssies can be so full of shit that they become assholes themselves... because pvssies are an inch and half away from assholes. I don't know much about this crazy, crazy world, but I do know this: If you don't let us fvck this asshole, we're going to have our dicks and pvssies all covered in shit!

    FVCK YEAH!!

    300k to open a franchise seems REALLLLLLLY cheap. my dad owns his own consulting firm (vague, right?) and makes good money through that, and at one point inquired as to how much it would take to buy a restaurant that was going under in our area. it was a normal sized place, had a more "family" section, but also a nice sized bar section, was usually fairly busy.

    anyway, the owner told him you'd need a few million in worth, and easily 500k in cash flow in case the restaurant stopped making as much money. people still expect to be paid. so i kinda doubt a whole new building and franchise would only be 300k

    franchise licenses run around 300k. not buildings etc.

    For one, I don't believe in what I read; I have a thick skinnned and in many cases I read only what makes sense and ignores what doesn't e.g. response #122 by kratos. I read few lines and skipped his post because I knew wasn't making sense to me. LOL

    holy fvcking shit, you aren't even going to give me the satisfaction of having you try and respond so I can make you look stupider.

    "Kratos (long time buddy) how are u doing? Well it looks like your inability to do and comprehend business financial info is going to make me u "not to ever own anything". I urge u to look again on what are total investment cost and total development cost? and then get back with me why think my estimate was fair."

    Tell me I can't comprehend business financial info, and that I won't own anything. And now my response doesn't make sense so you don't have to respond to it.

    Can someone push the ban button please.
