Owner/Managing Partner
VR Located in Newtown, PA

We decided to join VR because after selling our business, we realized something that was missing - a true sense of Valued Representation. VR gives us the opportunity to support business owners and offer the kind of representation we didn't have. Our mission is to create a WIN-WIN situation for everyone involved.

What Clients Are Saying About VR Office Owners

Jeff Child
Owner and Managing Partner
VR Located in Englewood, CO

In all of my business relations with Jeff through the years I have found him to always be not only professional in all that he does but on the point with the issues. Jeff is highly knowledgeable in products, sales, and operations, which gave me confidence I could operate my business during the period it was sold. – Thom Mindala

A Franchise Opportunity Aligned to Your Desired Growth

VR provides you with the freedom to be an entrepreneur, sculpt your professional future, and create your version of the American Dream. Being an entrepreneur is about making your own decisions, and being part of VR offers you the support and resources needed to be successful. No matter the type of business you evolve into selling or specializing in, the choice is yours. If you’re ready to learn more about personal and professional fulfillment continue; it could be the right opportunity at the perfect time.

Leverage Your Career / No Experience Necessary

VR searches for people with different career backgrounds so we can leverage your past experience to make VR stronger. That is the foundation of our slogan found as you walk into the VR corporate offices, “OUR STRENGTH IS OUR PEOPLE”. No experience in business sales, business valuation, or mergers and acquisitions is necessary.

Low Investment

An entrepreneur must consider cost versus the opportunity. Without the expense of expensive furniture, fixtures, and equipment (“FF&E”) or build out of your location the investment cost for a VR franchise is considered low in terms of the typical franchise offered by the average member of the International Franchise Association.

Low overhead

VR offers two different opening options, Executive Franchise, and Standard Franchise which have different overhead basis. The lack of equipment and expensive machinery leases required by many franchises keep your overhead low. VR does not force you to purchase expensive materials or services from us, or a company owned or affiliated to us.

No Inventory

Inventory and shelf stock are a thing of the past.  All VR marketing materials are available in digital format as part of your franchise.  We do operate an online store for those wishing to purchase promotional marketing materials, hardcopy materials, branded clothing, etc., but we have chosen to pass savings on to you rather than receive a referral fee either directly or indirectly from the company operating this service.

No Employees

A VR franchise normally operates without any administrative employees until the owner decides it is necessary due to the large amount of business. All advisors in the VR office are “1099” subcontractors who are responsible for their own tax returns and benefits such as health insurance.

Schedule Control

How many times in your career have you controlled your own schedule?  By following the structured procedures developed by VR to buy or sell a business, you can plan your personal life according to the wants and needs of family life.   Meetings normally do not happen in the evening or on weekends, and with the use of video conferencing these meetings if necessary have become less of a family strain.  VR goes as far as to develop your custom video conference imaging platform.

Fast Franchise Agreement to Open Timely

Though there is a cooling off period from the time an individual is disclosed (delivered the Franchise Disclosure Document (“FDD”)) to when they can execute a Franchise Agreement, we can have a new franchise go through our preopening program, initial owner training, and be open in less than 60 days if you chose. VR works with you individually to set the opening schedule including flexible training dates and times.

Growth and Potential

Some people will want to be sole proprietors, some create a small team of advisors with themselves overseeing every transaction, and others want to manage a large skilled group of professionals. The choice is yours as you control the size of your business and therefore its potential earnings. VR is there to support your decisions and help fulfill your dreams. No matter what size of the business you develop, VR trains your team members at no up-front or continuing cost. If they are successful, you are successful, and we are successful!

VR Value Roll-out Program

Our Value Roll-out Program is at no additional cost to the franchisee. Operating during the past 6 decades VR is aware of what you need to open smoothly and supplies it as part of your Initial Franchise Fee. Gone are the days of franchisors forcing the additional purchase of “start-up”, or “fast track” package as a way to generate hidden income not disclosed as part of the Initial Franchise Fee.

Accelerate Your Opening, Quicken the Learning Curve

We recognize that starting a new venture can be challenging. At VR we are committed to your success, which begins with our Valued Roll-out Program (“VRP”) at no additional cost. The VRP provides the necessary tools and resources to accelerate your opening and quicken the learning curve in your new profession.
Just ask Claudia Luquerna and Ramzi Daklouche who sold their business to open a VR location in Atlanta, GA. Their first sale was completed 4 months and 3 days after opening, followed by their second successful deal just 7 days later. Are these results exceptional by industry standards? You bet!

Or you could ask Ed O’Sullivan and Jennifer Gaynor who opened in Newtown, PA, and were also new to our profession. Their second successful sale in their first year of operation produced a success fee of more than $100,000. Exceptional? You bet!

If you believe you could be the next exception if you had the right tools and support, then reach out to VR so we can discuss if our goals and aspirations match yours. Our goal is not to “sell” you a franchise, but instead to grant a VR business to someone who believes in: Transparency, Honesty, Confidentiality, and who understands the value of putting the client first.
