to buy an existing franchise, which one would it be?

a donut shop!!! you get 24/7 police protection free of charge and throw in free wifi and call it a cyber cafe and you just watch the money roll in

i see you put some serious thought into this, "Silly Buns".
but around here, there's a dunkin donuts every 1/4 mile, as i'm guessing it's like that nationwide.

Dunkins are franchises, no? Prob need more than 200k though to invest.

Its really not a bad idea....the advertising is done already the whole world knows that name and the key would be to open up closest to a business district so you get the morning rush hour crew and the caffine freaks at lunch

i'm just ballparking a figure.

the key is to layout the least and have the least overhead!!! A beer and cigarette shop is another great one.....the world is supported by booze and cigarettes!!!

With 200K ...you have a LOT of options if we're talking solely of investing in a franchise.
I'd buy a few Subways ...they are low cost to start up and the overhead is very low.
McDonalds in the right area can be very profitable
Building a Walgreens is very profitable as well. They sign 50 year leases on every store. So for 50 years you have a guaranteed income. EVEN IF THEY CLOSE DOWN
In Illinois there was only 1 walgreens that ever closed down it was on 159th & LaGrange Rd. I think it was only open for a year. Well, when they closed down they were forced to pay 49 years worth of rent to the guy who owned the land. Fucker made out like like a bandit.
Personally, I would buy $200,000 worth (below wholesale) of #1,2, & 3 best selling Philips health and beauty items like Sonicare toothbrushes and sell them. That shit is like gold. You could easily turn that $200,000 into $150,000 profit in one year with a little leg work and basic marketing.

c4 and detonators in the mid-east.
dont worry. i dont like africans either.

honestly, as much as I'd hate to say it either a Mickey D's (the closest one take 15 minutes to drive to). The area I live in could be a gold mine, nearby towns don't have one unless they drive 25 minutes.
For those on the west coast will know what I mean but they arn't franchises but a small taco place like Robertos or something. Fucking place would make me a rich bitch.

a friend of the family wanted to buy one a few years ago. he said the "minimum" investment of 250k at the time basically doubled in about 5 minutes of speaking to the franchisee. the money's "guaranteed" because it's probably the most famous franchise there is, but you gotta worry about the "employees" and since a lot of them are 24 hours, you're basically tied to the job all day every day.
a somewhat infamous guy now, due to his Obama ties / crime ties, Tony Rezko , had something like 50 pizza huts and other franchises around here. Had a great house in the prime part of town, but i think it turned out the house was bought with shady funds, so not sure how much he actually made from the franchises.

Try Saoudi Arabia instead. The media loves to talk about Iran but there's barely one stoning per year there. Saoudi Arabia being such a good old frien, nobody likes to talk about what goes on there.

something to do with coffee.
everyone is drinking it now. and its getting more and more popular to the point of being trendy. even non- coffee drinkers are getting turned onto coffee due to different blends and beans being made available.
something not as expensive as starbucks.

Yeah Rezko is a piece of garbage. His money came from shady deals ...the pizza hut crap was just a front to make his income look legit.
You're talking about walgreens ? You don't have anything to do with the day to day operations of the store. You just own the land they build on. You end up being the landlord and they build the store on your property.
Yeah the start up is a lot of cash but they sign a 50 year lease and you end up seeing a return after like 10 years ??? Anyways, for the long term investor it's a great deal.

News flash: Coffee has been trendy and is/was very popular for the last 10 fucking years.
You want to get into the coffee business when Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts has pretty much a monopoly on that shit ? hahahaha yeah that's the next million dollar idea...but you're about 15 years too late.

wrong, stupid. it was big due to the demographic who have always drank coffee- now its getting bigger every year cause non coffee drinkers are drinking it now. fuck you're dumb. think before you post. save yourself some embarrassment next time.

I'm assuming you'd need walgreens to give you a commitment that they'll build out, and then buy the land. the only "in" i have with walgreens is that my wife worked at a pharmacy for them for a few years.

First off....go and find a mentor(s) who has “been there and done that.” They will know how to spot opportunity, raise capital and make the correct professional relationships.
But hey....what the hell do I know about that whole venture capital thing? I didn't even stay at a Holiday Inn last night.

Then you may want to reconsider franchising, because that investment is normally not passive. In addition to your capital, you will be investing a lot of your time and talent as well. So, you need to achieve a good return on both investments. Since you're making two investments, the ROI in franchising must be considerably higher than what you would earn in a passive vehicle.
Then you'll have time to build epic side delts and travel to Minooka for tramps.
;D
-
Frankly, 200K will probably get you a small-scale subway franchise, but there is no preordained viability to owning one of those. Their annual reports are all over the place.
I have one Franchise in mind that has had solid profits for well over 50 years. PM me for more information.

I actually went to college with a guy from minooka.
That's what I'm thinking. If i have say 200k in stocks that return, say 4.5% a year (passively obviously), is it even worth liquidating them for an active return of even 50% a year if i have to quit my day job and commit to this "franchise" 24/7?

They are however, VERY profitable even in the worst hood.

Never invest in a franchise unless you STRONGLY believe (based on unbiased, accurate, due diligence) that the average annual income return from the business will be equal to at least 40 to 50%, per year, of the total initial investment for the franchise. Total investment = includes all debt and working-capital reserves needed to start the business.
If the return isn't at least this high, what are you working for? You'd be better off to keep your job and invest your capital passively.
If your Financial Advisor only made 4.5% return for you last year (especially with the run on precious metals), you need to switch to someone else.
P.S. - the tramps actually live in Manteno and Momence.

Well, i'm my own "financial advisor". I didn't count the run up in stocks, which gave me about 50% in unrealized returns, but i never count those as "real" because i didn't sell anything. I'm 29, so i don't quite need to dip into equities just yet as means for an income.
i fuck around with s&p e-minis and a couple index funds, that keeps my risk appetite plenty satisified these days, especially the last couple weeks.
maybe i'll just stick to my current work; maybe it'll give me the size of one of your neighbors houses. i remember when i was in high school i went to that amc by you, and there were these two girls that lived up the street from the theater. no need to mention which house, but when i was outside, i said to her, "nice pond" in her backyard, and she said "that's our pool".
that's the kind of confusion i'd like to create for my houseguest one day. ;D

Gas station/food mart in the satellite parking lot of a major airport.
10 years ago the opportunity became available to my dad....we skipped on it cause at the time the place ws just a piece of barren land with no history of business....we even went and checked it out...but as i said...we decided it ws too risky.
Some african invested around 1.5 mil in it...
needless to say...he ws pumping 3 times the volume the traffic pattern (and various)other site studies had shown and recovered his initial investment in 3 years...
its the ONLY gas station at the bali/wash international(BWI) airport parking lot

I dollar cost averaged all the way through 2008 and 2009. Many sleepless nights as $500 swings a day were killing me at the time. Now i'd laugh at a mere $500 swing a day (unless it goes for weeks on end like it is now, lulz)

not bad but you could do a whole lot better. how much money you have invested? you doing a 401k style retirement plan? managing it on your own? let me take the reigns and reap a 5% advisors fee and ill guarantee you more than 100% return annually.. legally.. :)

but i wouldnt have you investing in the stock market. stocks are for losers most of the time. winners play on their own field, and make the decisions themselves; they dont rely on others to do the work for them and they sure as hell dont invest their money into other peoples business. that is, very rarely will they invest in others business. everyonce in a while a stock will come around worth buying, but they are hard to come across because usually the equilibrium price per share is reached real quickly because of insider trading laws.
stocks are for salaried workers too lazy/unmotivated/scared to take care of their own finances. for those people, a 401k style retirement is a good way to go. for everyone else, fuck wall street.

I think 10% is a very optimistic prognosis. I can't mention a African country without extreme differences between the rich and the poor. I think food branch is a stable one because of the simple fact people need food (duh!), but a KFC is only for a small local minority.
I'm confident there are places in Africa with stabile enough law enforcement for a KFC.
Again very optimistic. I think it's very hard to start a business over there. Once the authorities realize you're a foreigner, they would take advantage of that.

I've got to agree. I didn't make as high as you last year (my 401k was up 21% and my personal accounts were around 16-18%) but the stock market is the way to go. Although I wouldn't buy any stocks now. The only account of mine in the stock market now is my 401k. I cashed out my personal accounts last week.
Btw 200k is also a little on the low side for a franchise. If I was to look into a franchise, I would look into a zaxby's or something similar but I doubt you would get one for anywhere near 200k..

Since there's corruption everywhere... and now everybody call that "business".
You have the option of investing on something legal or illegal.
200k could turn into 500 to 1 million fast... in a right place, right hands, using the right person.

I'm with failcan, there have to be vast quantities of gold left behind by the Pocahontases in the Carolinas.

Tbombz is probably a good cock sucker. But I wouldn't trust him with my cash. He's the kind of guy who acts like he knows all about things when he really doesn't know a whole lot.

With 200K ...you have a LOT of options if we're talking solely of investing in a franchise.
I'd buy a few Subways ...they are low cost to start up and the overhead is very low.
McDonalds in the right area can be very profitable
Building a Walgreens is very profitable as well. They sign 50 year leases on every store. So for 50 years you have a guaranteed income. EVEN IF THEY CLOSE DOWN
In Illinois there was only 1 walgreens that ever closed down it was on 159th & LaGrange Rd. I think it was only open for a year. Well, when they closed down they were forced to pay 49 years worth of rent to the guy who owned the land. Fucker made out like like a bandit.
Personally, I would buy $200,000 worth (below wholesale) of #1,2, & 3 best selling Philips health and beauty items like Sonicare toothbrushes and sell them. That shit is like gold. You could easily turn that $200,000 into $150,000 profit in one year with a little leg work and basic marketing.
Not exactly the entrepreneur's club here in the GB block- a Mc'D's store runs about 2mill
-
$2 mil for a mcd's? Shit!! Had no idea.
When I was 17 I helped my friends dad tile a mcdonalds. (he had a flooring business)
Anyways, the owner of the mcdonalds was a stereotypical Mexican guy with lots of gold jewelry & he drove a "custom" purple Honda prelude.
He didn't look like he had $2 mil to spend...to put it nicely.
I've got a small online mail order business going on right now. With $200k cash in front of me I'd buy 2 6-flats & rent em out & with the remainder I would do a direct purchase from Philips around $50k worth of wholesale products.
Real estate is the tried & tested way to go for me because I don't know jack about stock market other than buy low sell high cliche. I know many people who live comfortably from their passive real estate income.
I'd still keep my mail order gig to keep an extra cash flow & to write stuff off on the LLC.

.... not sure where you're going with this tmomz... but you're off your rockers...
how did the world richest people get that way? How did the vast majority of millionaires get that way? By nickel and dime-ing other peoples ideas? That's what the stock market is
Buy real estate if you want a safe investment with a big return. As someone else suggested after I brought real estate up originally, you can rent it out in the mean time and make even more.
You want to make a lot of money. start up a business. Liqour stores, laundry mats, gas stations.once you've got one, start opening up more. Fnd population density maps of all the major city's around you and looks for gaps in the market.fill the holes and reap the rewards.
Money making is simple if you got the funds and are willing to take a risk

Well put, very good comeback.. I agree... like I said, real estate is slow and steady; easily predictable, much easier to be successful. Core money generators are starting a business from the ground up, no doubt; you own the money making machine.
However... predictors, strategists who know a sector very well like me do very well with stocks... so yes maybe you are right; the common salary may not be advantaged by the stock market...

Ok. So you're saying that stock market millionaires nickel and dime each other's ideas ...but you advocate opening up a liquor store or gas station....neither one of those are original by any means.
Real estate market is not an original idea either.
WTF are you talking about?
Your ideas aren't terrible but you strike me as a one upper and one of the biggest arm chair quarterbacks.
It's like the fat/out of shape guy that is an "expert" on nutrition and working out but nobody takes them seriously because they look like a pile of shit.

Investing in McDonald's is a raw deal. There are stipulations in the contract that McDonald's can buy back the franchise at fair market value any time. They typically do this for poorly operated ones, but also for successful ones, if they see that you opened a gold mine, they buy it back and keep the profits for themselves.
You pretty much make a deal with the devil.
Subways, well it's too late. 10 years ago you could have gotten one for $50k, now it is way up there. I know a guy that bought about 10 over a couple year span and they are worth on average 1/2 mill each now. Not a bad investment of $50k.
Owning a restaurant sucks. Any cash business requires you to be there 24/7 or you will be robbed blind. Would you drop $200k into a business and let some high school students and a college dropout manage the store for you?
Look at civil bonds. Some have 5-7% interest that is TAX FREE. This is because it violates the double dipping law since you are giving money to a fund that is used as a tax fund. It's a good way to make free money.
I wanted to open a Buffalo Wild Wings in San Diego near Petco Park, but some asshole claimed that aread a while back even though they haven't built anything yet.
I wanted to open a Krispy Kreme donut shop, but they only allow 2 per metroplitan area and they have a fucking laundry list of requirements before you can buy.
Gas stations are ok, but the real money makers are the supplier, not the reseller. The way most gas stations make money in Cali is the Hand Car Washes. They pay 20 mexicans $2 an hour and charge you $20 for a basic wash. This one near my work cleans up.
A somalian I knew bought up cheap land around downtown years ago and used them as parking lots. When the real estate boom happened he was offered millons upon millions from condo and hotel developers, but knew that the more they built the less parking that would exist and it would be a goldmine for decades to come.
For years he struggled to keep the lots full. Now they are packed 24/7 averaging about $20 per car per day for an unmaned lot. Freaking crazy.

but thats illegal. :)
effecient market hypothesis states that stocks are always priced at equilibrium. theres millions of people across the globe who pay attention to every smidgen of every piece of information regarding every publicly trading company that comes out. analyzing markets, spotting trends, evaluating current and future demand based on technology increases and resource availability, etc. every stock out there is priced at a fair value. that means that unless your going to diversify and ride out the bumps for at least 10-15 years, stocks are a waste of time. unless your insider trading :)

to buy an existing franchise, which one would it be?
Probably some high priced clothes store for women. Prada. Those whores will spend U.S$1,000.00 for a single purse, and then next month they are back to purchase another one. And you will sell 10-40 of those a day. Do the math! Fooling women for their cash is where it's at.
