Family Financial Centers

Cash Investment (Liquid): $100,000

Minimum Net Worth: $500,000

Family Financial Centers is the closest thing to owning a neighborhood branch bank. We have a bank look and feel, and we offer a full menu of financial services to the "un-banked" or "under-banked" customer, typically a middle-income working family. Our services include check cashing, money orders, wire transfer, electronic bill payment, pre-paid debit card, gift card and buyback program and gold and precious metals purchasing. We are located in attractive suburban strip centers close to the customer's home or work. The underlying business model is exceptional, providing good income and high return on investment. Our only inventory is cash, and we open and close our 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 is ramped up. We are doing acquisitions (for candidates who prefer an existing cash flow), new stores, and a "store in a store" kiosk concept that can go inside of an existing business (convenience store, grocery store, tax prep office, etc.). We offer single units, multiple units, and area development on a selective basis. Our typical candidate is an upper level corporate executive making a good income and with reasonably strong net worth, or an entrepreneur that is selling their business and looking to get into something else, or diversify into another business.  The current economic climate is actually conducive to our business, and this presents an opportunity for candidates to open and build a successful business at a time when other franchise concepts are struggling. With FFC they will be operating a branch bank for the ever-growing market of individuals that live “paycheck to paycheck” and depend on our services.

IFG 50/50 (The Interface Financial Group)
Cash Investment (Liquid): $50,000

Minimum Net Worth: $100,000-150,000

The Interface Financial Group - IFG 50/50 is an affordable home-based franchise that provides short-term working capital to businesses by purchasing current, quality invoices at a discount, thus accelerating their cash flow and growth.

The Interface Financial Group (IFG) has been in the Invoice Discounting business since 1972.

In IFG 50/50, all transactions are handled by both the franchisee and the franchisor. Both handle due diligence and funding. The franchisor, however, handles 90% of the paperwork, leaving the franchisee free to handle the ‘people’ part of the franchise.

By doing transactions together, IFG essentially limits the capital requirements from franchisees and ensures that both parties have a financial stake in each transaction.

The franchisor has built into the funding structure leverage for their franchisees to enable them to earn a return proportionately well above their capital contribution. This leverage facility is free to franchisees with no cost or obligation due from a franchisee. All franchisees automatically qualify for this facility. IFG 50/50 franchisees show traits that embrace, excellent communication skills, problem-solving ability, decision-making capability, self-discipline and determination, and all will have a solid proven business background.
