			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The FiltaFry franchise is one the best in profitable businesses. This internationally recognized company provides vans around the world. There are over two hundred and fifty units worldwide and there is no cap when it comes to earning with them.  Buying into a franchise such as this costs up to $88.5 thousand dollars. This is the total investment, however. The highest liquid capital required is $30,000 and the lowest is $15,000. There is a franchising fee of $31,000 but it is more than worth it when the profits start coming.<br />
When going with Filta there is a residual income that comes from a weekly service. This weekly service only requires a fairly small customer base that ranges from thirty to forty customers. When it comes to administration and labor almost anyone can handle the work from home. There are low overheads, a small amount of stock, and the most simplistic of administration.<br />
There is a promise of initial customers and even provides a service that appeals to those that are interested in environmental sustainability. This franchise provides a way to use less oil with their fryers which will make the customer&#8217;s business overhead increase while decreasing the use of oil. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>FiltaFry vans can be profitable in many ways. Filta is an internationally recognized company. They have residual income due to repeat service each work. There is an added benefit of the territory that is covered being an exclusive and protected customer base. Not only that but the customer base does not need to be large and on average is thirty to forty customers. </p>
<p>The other benefits of FiltaFry are fantastic. This can be a telecommuting position and can be run from the comfort of your own home. There are low overheads, very simple administration, and such a small stock that it makes the work from home easy. </p>
<p>FiltaFry guarantees an initial client/customer base and there is room to grow as much as one would want to by having either a single or a multiple van business. There are three different aspects to the Filta franchise. There are FiltaFry, FiltaCool, and FiltaBio. FiltaFry, FiltaCool, and FiltaBio all join together to benefit workers and the environment. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Interested in opening your own business? Find the start up and building from the ground up to be a bit intimidating? Why not buy into a franchise?

Due to the minimum stock, small overheads, and simplistic administration there will never be a time that you will feel too overwhelmed to make money.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Find a franchise that will be profitable and easy to buy into. Consider going into business with FiltaFry and save the world at the same time. This company is a brand name that is recognized all over the world. Buying into FiltaFry will end up providing a residual income weekly from the same clients every time. There only needs to be a small base of customers and that ranges from thirty to forty of them.<br />
You may be wondering how thirty to forty customers can help you make a fantastic salary? Well, there are a few services that a FiltaFry Van will provide. The customers will benefit from oil filtration &#038; fry management upkeep, moisture control systems for their walk in coolers, and the pick up of used cooking oil. When Filta picks up the cooking oil it filters the oil and then sends it off to be turned into bio-diesel. Recycling the oils you already use in your business everyday will help make the planet better and safer by not using up all of the resources that it provides.<br />
Consider buying into FiltaFry and remember that there is a fantastic customer base with brand name companies that find this service beneficial. The company will provide complete support as soon as you are accepted as a franchise owner. Travel down to Orlando, Florida and be trained to run the business in house and even hands on training outside with an experienced franchise owner. With so much support who needs to look any further?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When it comes to an environmental kitchen solution then Filta is your best bet. Invest in a FiltaFry van and see where it can go. Filta is an original concept of having kitchen equipment that is environmentally responsible.<br />
There are over two hundred and fifty Filtafry units in the United States and several other countries. They have the market corned with it&#8217;s international popularity. They are recognized in most countries and have begun providing services that go hand in hand for kitchen work.<br />
The company Filta provides a few different utilities. The first is FiltaFry. FiltaFry is an oil filtration and fryer management business. This is one of the most eco friendly business as it is mobile and provides on site service for all of the customers in the area. There is no real competition due to this being such an original product and you will be given your own clientele.<br />
Filta provides one of the most ideal solutions when it comes to the quality of food, saving money on cooking oil and frying costs, and all the while reducing potential liabilities.<br />
There are other aspects to the business too that appeals to whatever the customers need. There is also FiltaCool that is a moisture control system. This helps controlling moisture in walk in coolers to prevent ruining materials and inevitably saving money in the long run.<br />
There is also FiltaBio that helps business owners get used cooking oils removed to prevent wasting space and attracting pests on oil drums. When they get the oil they purify it and then they send the purified oil in to make it into biodiesel. With so many aspects of this business, there are multiple services offered with not much in the way of a workload.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At some point, everyone realizes that they just don&#8217;t want to belong to the rat race any longer. You may find yourself looking into Filtafry and wondering just what this franchise can do for you, and how Filta may be able to help you reach both the financial and the life goals you have set for yourself. Quite a few people have been where you are, wondering if the franchises they were looking into held the potential that they promise to, and wondering if perhaps Filtafry may not be an answer that they are looking for. As we go into this, you will find some answers to some of the more commonly asked questions about Filtafry and just what kind of support you will find as you do begin to work with your own Filtafry franchise. There is no real reason to feel overwhelmed with information- a good franchise can provide concise and direct listings of not only the training, support and information that they have to offer during your initial days, but also, the advantages and benefits of teaming up with them. Here, we&#8217;ll go into a few of the good reasons for going with Filtafry.</p>
<p>The best franchises are the ones that there is already a demand. If you have had a look at Filtafry&#8217;s literature already you might know that the service is one of which any food service establishment that runs a deep fryer can use. Have you looked around your local restaurants lately? It&#8217;s almost all fried foods, or predominately things cooked in cooking oil. The problem is, though, that oil degrades so quickly and normal staff simply cannot clean the oil, and the fryers well enough to make it last. As a FiltaFry technician, you would run the oil through a special micro filtration system while you vacuum clean the deep fryer. This typically takes many hours for a typical restaurant employee to handle, and often is not done well- many times causing accidents. However, as a Filtafry technician, it would take just about an hour for you to perform a service, often, working twice weekly to maintain some establishments. </p>
<p>Another thing that often concerns people who are looking into franchises is support. One of the biggest appeals to buying a franchise as opposed to starting up an independent business, is that you do have someone who already has a standard and a way of doing things- and usually the franchise is more than happy to help. Filtafry is no different. Offering a great deal of training, Filtafry makes sure that each and every franchisee is immersed in just what it takes not only to run a home office, learning things like advertising, sales and administration, but also, technical repairs and understanding. For two weeks, a new Filta franchisee is paired up with a Business Development Manager who will teach the franchisee to be able to run things smoothly, and also help them to build up a solid customer and client base. After that, the Regional Developer stands by to advise and to make sure that certain goals are met so that then, the franchisee has the best chances for success. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You know that you would like to get on with a franchise that really has your success in mind. Typically, being able to go into a franchise takes a great deal of research and seeking information, and perhaps you have been considering becoming a FiltaFry franchise and working for yourself. Maybe you, like so many others, have decided that it is time you took the steps you need to break free of corporate life, or you&#8217;d just feel more stable owning your own business. No matter what reason you are looking into buying a franchise, you&#8217;ll find an opportunity with Filtafry, and a great many reasons why this may be an option to consider strongly in your search. We&#8217;ll go into just a few of the reasons why teaming up with Filtafry can really turn your life around and set you on the path to financial stability and business ownership.</p>
<p>Most restaurants throw away the cooking oil as it degrades, and anyone who has ever worked in the food service industry can tell you, cooking oil goes fast. The reason is, tiny particles of carbon, food and other debris get into the oil, breaking down the fat itself, which not only causes poor tasting food, but more frequent need to change the oil out. The Filtafry system changes all of that for food service owners, making cleaner, better tasting oil last longer and save them money every cycle. Through a comprehensive fryer management program, as a FiltaFry franchise owner, you, or someone you hire will service restaurants and other food service establishments on a weekly basis, offering a micro-filtering of their cooking oil, making sure their thermostat is working correctly and at the right temperature, and vacuum cleaning the deep fryers, to a sparkling almost like new state. Each Filtafry territory roughly encompasses about 30 to 40 commercial customers a week and each service call takes right around an hour. This is definitely a beneficial service, and one that has a demand.</p>
<p>The second thing that most people find appealing about any franchise, is that you aren&#8217;t left to fend for yourself. Filtafry offers an extensive four part training program that involves day to day operations, administration and advertising concerns as well as sales and the technical aspects of the equipment a Filtafry franchisee will be using. In addition to this, there is also a minimum of two weeks where a new franchisee will work directly with a FiltaFry Business Development manager to make sure that each new franchise is off to a running start with a good, solid customer base. Once this is completed, then a Regional Developer will help to further educate and advise new franchisees until income is stable and goals are met. As you can see, Filtafry takes the success of its franchisees very seriously and there will be support each and every step of the way.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Looking over your options in franchising can be a bit of a puzzle. Many people out there now are seeking out better ways of doing business but may not be able to afford a great deal of overhead- so, franchises that are out of home are often a great resource to them. As you do your research on home based franchises you have no doubt seen the name Filtafry come up more than once. There&#8217;s a good reason. Since the early nineties, Filtafry has been one of the biggest things in at home franchises because it is not only a service that offers a plentiful client and customer base, but it&#8217;s something that&#8217;s fairly easily managed and has a relatively low overhead. So, what can you expect when looking into buying a Filtafry franchise? </p>
<p>The What? In Filtafry is it is a really innovative way of managing the fryers that many restaurants and food service businesses use in their day to day operations. This not only prolongs the life of the oil, saving money in that area, but also, extends the life of the fryer itself by keeping it well maintained and in excellent running condition. Being able to continue to move through each and every business day is very important in any business, but in food service, often the down time needed for fryer maintenance is a major downfall. However, using the Filtafry service, what once was a dreaded and dangerous job for usually not adequately trained employees that took hours- becomes a twice weekly, sometimes hour long visit, at best. A Filtafry technician is well educated and trained so that the entire process from start to finish is not only as safe but as efficient as possible, leaving almost nothing for the staff to really have to do in that. </p>
<p>But there are many other benefits to using the service itself- for one thing, the environmental impact is strong. Better running equipment always equals out to less power to run them, as well as less waste for the owner of the establishment itself. Not having to dispose of the oil in those huge oil drums, is also less of an impact on the environment as cardboard and other material usage is down. However, that&#8217;s not really where Filta stops its environmentally friendly action. Many franchisees are actively involved in a number of local environmental groups, causes and fundraisers, all around the United States. The company itself began with an environmental image and continues to strive for a greener way of doing things. As you can see, the service itself actually reduces the wastes of fast food, sit down restaurants and basically any place that serves fried foods, but also, with the FiltaCool system, more loss and waste is avoided. Just one more way, FiltaFry and their franchisees are making a difference in food service, waste oil management and making the world a little bit greener for their efforts.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The allure of franchise ownership is undeniable, and rightfully so.  For the investor looking to start up a new business, franchising offers some incredible benefits over independent business ownership.  However, all franchisors are not equal.  How does one ensure that he/she picks the right franchise for his/her individual business needs and goals?</p>
<p>What Are the Benefits?</p>
<p>Buying a franchise offers some distinctive advantages when compared to independent business.  These benefits give the franchise a much better chance of getting off on the right foot.  The support offered to franchise owners can help the business succeed in a stiffly competitive market or a troubled economy.</p>
<p>Franchisors want their franchises to succeed.  What is good for the individual franchises is good for the trademark company.  As such, any franchisor with an eye on the future offers some key tools to help their franchisees along.  </p>
<p>Franchisors will often offer support from the very onset their relationship with the franchisee, helping in selecting location and offering training to help enable the franchisee to effectively run his/her business.  Many franchisors also offer basic training tools to assist the franchise owner in building a skilled and knowledgeable staff.  </p>
<p>Almost all franchisors also offer marketing support.  This often comes in the forms of broad-sweeping advertising campaigns aimed at targeted demographic groups across the entirety of the franchisor&#8217;s territory.  Franchisors may also offer local marketing support and assist the franchise owner in the development of local promotional campaigns.</p>
<p>How to Pick a Winner</p>
<p>Not all franchisors offer the same level of support in all areas.  When first researching a company to determine its suitability to your needs as a franchise owner it is important to evaluate just what degree of support the franchisor offers.  It is then possible to weigh that against your own desires for autonomy and control of your business so that you can make an informed decision based on your own best interests.</p>
<p>You best source of information in making your decision is the Franchise Disclosure Document that the franchisor is legally obligated to provide to you.  This document will spell out exactly how much support you can expect to receive.  It will also tell you up front what will be required of you as a franchisee.  The FDD will also shed light into any ongoing issues within the franchise that you might need to be aware of in making your decision.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t rely solely on the information presented in the FDD when making your decision.  It is wise to get the perspective of other franchise owners.  Having first-hand accounts from established franchise owners may present you with benefits and problems that are not specifically touched upon in the legal document.</p>
<p>Forewarned is Forearmed</p>
<p>Above all, when undertaking the franchise selection process it is crucial to put in the effort to dig deep and research.  A bit of legwork now can save you a lot of headache later.  Once you&#8217;ve signed a contract, you are committed.  The more knowledge you have going in, the better your chances of making a smart decision and signing on with a financial winner.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When the economy takes a dive, luxury expenses (such as dining out) are the first cuts people make to their personal budgets.  An economic slump can stop a business&#8217;s growth dead in its tracks, and can even threaten it&#8217;s very survival.  However, there are steps you can take to help your franchise weather the storm.</p>
<p>Tightening the Belt</p>
<p>First, it&#8217;s time to pull out the Profit and Loss statement and start going over expenses with a fine toothed comb.  Many of your expenses are unavoidable, but cutting out any unnecessary cost now is going to help you in the future.  Postpone some of those cosmetic repairs or that big redecoration project for the time being.  Instead, focus only on those repairs that are necessary for public safety and official standards.</p>
<p>From the Ground Up</p>
<p>Now it&#8217;s time to head back to the drawing board.  Rethink your marketing promotions, especially if you are well established in your community already.  Everyone loves the wacky arm-waving-inflatable-tube-guy on the roof, but keeping him at his antics isn&#8217;t cheap.  Now is the time to be conservative.  Start focusing on drawing attention to your more economically appealing &#8220;value menu&#8221;.  As long as your quality and service remain reliable the community will understand.</p>
<p>Also take a look at your wastes.  As a franchise owner you may not have much say in where your supplies come from, but it is entirely up to you to ensure that those supplies are put to good use.  When times are good, it&#8217;s easier to overlook or forgive sloppy work.  However, in a crunch, that one extra pickle making its way into the burgers,  those shake that gets dropped on the floor and the food that gets sent back because it just wasn&#8217;t prepared to the customer&#8217;s specification all adds up.  Now is the time to review with your employees and ensure that loss is minimized.</p>
<p>Focus on Quality</p>
<p>When cutting costs in marketing and cosmetic upgrades to your business, ensuring top-notch quality and customer service become more important than ever.  The dining experience your business provides becomes your biggest public draw.  Fortunately, for the savvy business owner and crack management staff, these standards of quality can be met or exceeded at minimal cost.</p>
<p>Focus on the work environment and improving employee morale.  A positive employee is going to be much more likely to provide a positive experience for the customer and will be more prone to following procedures that minimize waste and loss.  Don&#8217;t be afraid to discipline when necessary, but be sure to balance the dynamic with rewards for positive and proactive workmanship.</p>
<p>Flexibility</p>
<p>Above all, remain flexible.  If the old way of conducting your business is costing you more than it&#8217;s bringing in, then it&#8217;s time for a change.  Keep current with the community and it&#8217;s desires.  If you can, cater to the current trends in the community.  It doesn&#8217;t take a whole lot of nonfat decaf latte sales to justify a WiFi connection in your business.   With a willingness to adjust, you can create an environment and experience that will ensure that your loyal customer base will always make room in their budget for your establishment.</p>
