Why Franchise? Be In Business For Yourself, Not By Yourself.* Franchising provides a business model and system to help you build your future. The combination of driven small businesses with the experience of a large company creates a rewarding partnership. By opening a franchise, you benefit from a proven system with years of experience without suffering the many pitfalls new businesses endure. Why not benefit from a system that works hard for you? • IFA (International Franchise Association) statistics show over 767,000 franchise businesses contribute to the U.S. economy. • Franchises provide over 9.8 million jobs with a payroll of over $229 billion. • According to the IFA, statistics show that 95% of franchise operations succeed, while at least four out of every five independent businesses fail before their third year.** Quick and Easy Start-Up • Nationwide chains are more recognized by lenders than private businesses, creating more accessible financing. • The TAN Company® builds on the franchise model. • A successful system with years of experience • An ongoing training program covering tanning memberships, employee certification, sales & marketing techniques, management methods, software, product knowledge and more. • By taking advantage of mass buying power, our franchisees benefit by buying more for less, ultimately increasing the bottom line. • Powerful advertising support • Choice of single location or multiple-unit locations to qualified franchise applicants These are a few reasons it makes sense to join a winning team— The TAN Company® Team!
