Find That Money for Franchise Investment

Using Find That Money © for Franchise Investment

Time and profit are always the overriding factors in determining the best investments. A savvy investor, whether investing in the stock market, real estate or baseball cards should always evaluate the likely return he can expect on his investment. This should also be true of franchise investments. Since a franchise purchase involves investments of time and money, the expectations should be higher than you would expect from a passive investment. As businesses seek to find funding online by selling franchises, a smart investor will focus his or her efforts to find franchises on the assistance provided by Find That Money ©.

Assessing a franchise investment with Find That Money ©


Must experts consider capital investment returns of ten to fifteen percent to be very good for passive investments. For example, an investment of $100,000 in the stock market that earned $15,000 would be considered very successful. With a franchise, however, your expectations for ROI should be vastly different than expectations for a return on a passive investment. Franchise investment generally requires investing a fair amount of your time and management talent in addition to your capital. You should be able to achieve a good return on both investments. In truth, you are making two investments (time and money) and the ROI you would expect to receive from a franchise purchase should be much higher than what you would expect for a passive vehicle.

Another assumption people often make is that the less you invest for a franchise, the less you will make in profits. Actually, there is often little correlation between the total investment and the amount of money you can make in the business. Returns in franchising vary greatly, making the ability to use Find That Money © key to a successful search.

Using Find That Money © in your franchise search

The important factor with franchises is the challenge of finding a franchise that meets your ROI expectations. Remember that higher cost does not mean higher returns. You will want to find franchises with great management leverage opportunities to maximize the return on your personal assets of time and talents. These are often franchises with total investments of less than $200,000 and in some cases less than $50,000. Find That Money © has extensive reach and that factor provides many lucrative franchise opportunities for its investors.

One important element when investigating a franchise is to determine the average earnings of a typical unit during the first three years of operation. Many companies provide same-store information that can give you an idea of how your franchise might be expected to perform based on the average. If this information is available for those companies you are researching, you should be able to project the average three- to five-year returns on investment.

We are looking to hire good developers

Notches is hiring developers.

We’re looking to bring on developers to be part of the core engineering team. We want people that can contribute to the product in a myriad of ways beyond coding. We want people who can ask the tough questions and challenge us. We want people who are not afraid to take ownership over an area and really drive it forward.

Our core platform is written in C# / .NET, so familiarity there will help – but ultimately we’re looking for smart, ambitious people with a good background in computer science, algorithms, and so on.

Our offices are currently in downtown New York City (SoHo). We’re certainly flexible in terms of hours but we do want to spend as much time as possible collaborating in person – in other words, we’re not looking for offshore firms or out-of-town developers right now.

You can find a more detailed job description here. If you’re interested or know anyone who might be, please contact us.

Mar 12, Silversea Names New All-Suite Ship Silver Spirit

Silversea Cruises said its newest all-suite ship will be named Silver Spirit. The company made the announcement Tuesday at the Seatrade Cruise Shipping Convention in Miami Beach, Florida. Currently under construction at Fincantieri's Ancona shipyard in Italy, the 540-guest vessel is scheduled to join the fleet in December 2009. Italian architect Giacomo Mortola is overseeing the design of the 36,000-ton vessel. "Silver Spirit's design will mirror the distinctive silhouette of our existing ships and will offer the same standards of luxury that our guests have come to expect," said Manfredi Lefebvre, Silversea's chairman. "But there will also be several significant enhancements, including a new supper club, an Asian-themed restaurant and an expanded spa facility that will rival the best spas on land."



Silversea President and CEO Amerigo Perasso said the ship will have a contemporary feel but with touches reminiscent of the 1930s. The space ratio will be a high 67. With a total of 270 ocean-view suites, the new ship will increase the number of accommodations in the most popular suite categories. Silver Spirit will feature more of the quick-to-sell-out Silver Suites, with a total of 26, and 222 Veranda Suites. There will also be six Grand Suites and two Owner's Suites. All but 12 suites will have balconies.


Plans call for a new supper club called Annabelle's that will serve gourmet cuisine followed by music and dance. Also planned are a new Asian restaurant, the main dining room, The Wine Restaurant and the casual Pool Grille. The new Spa at Silversea, which premiered during Silver Shadow's World Cruise last year, will be rolled out aboard the new vessel with dramatically more space. An aesthetically pleasing sanctuary is planned for guests to relax, de-stress and detox with an expanded menu of treatments. Silver Spirit will feature many of the same public lounges found on the line's existing ships, including an Observation Lounge, Vista Lounge (similar to Panorama Lounge on current fleet), Show Lounge, Humidor and Pool Bar, plus a new Lobby Bar styled along the lines of a European hotel, featuring Italian coffees complemented by champagne, wine and spirits -- all served at no charge.
