Franchising and Other Business Opportunities

I know this is kinda off post for my non-business/entrepreneur blog.. but I am doing someone special a favor.. so here goes..

Royalè Business Club International Incorporated is a 100% Filipino owned corporation that was conceived by its founder, Mr. Ricardo S. Castaneda in the first quarter of 2006, with the primary objective of providing quality but affordable health and wellness products, business options, micro-businesses and franchises to Filipinos worldwide.

Royale is endorsed by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo as the Official Micro-Franchise Provider of the Department of Labor and Employment-National Reintegration Center for OFWs.

We are offering three ways for ordinary people like us to start-up our own business:

1. GRAB A FRANCHISE! 

Start your own business and be an employer, no longer an employee. Dream mo bang magkaron ng mga food carts and food booths sa mga malls? Schools? Canteens? This is your chance guys.

There are a lot of franchise options to choose from:

FOOD: 

Red Ninja DimSum 

SiSig ExPress

Tutorial Services Center

All-in na po ito. Kasama pag lakad ng legal papers, training ng staff, all equipment needed, supply, pati paghahanap ng location sagot ng company. Hindi lang ito, wala itong royalty fee. Ibig sabihin, hindi ka na sisingilan bawat taon sa paggamit ng pangalan ng franchise. Isa pa, gusto mo ma dagdag ng ibang ibebenta sa booth mo? ayos lang, basta syempre hindi competitor ng sarili mong franchise. 

Wala pang-puhunan?

Hindi tataas, para sa iyo, dahil member ka na.

B. Get Finders Fee (ranging from 5,000 to 50, 000)

Every successful franchise referral, you will get a finders fee depending on the amount of the franchise. The bigger the franchise is, the bigger the finders fee.
