What Clients Are Saying About VR Office Owners
A Franchise Opportunity Aligned to Your Desired Growth
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!
Training & Support
Remember, NO PREVIOUS INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE REQUIRED. Realizing how important education and professional development are to one’s success, VR operates with a blended training approach that encompasses; live in-person training, virtual classrooms, video conferencing and streaming, cloud-based self-study, and study manuals. As a new VR owner, you will enter our profession by completing the educational programs in our three-phase, 3 ½ week comprehensive training.
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
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!
