Owning a Club Tan® franchise, enables you to be in business for yourself, but not by yourself. Many of us have felt the entrepreneurial pull of running our own business at one time or another. The allure of being your own boss can be really strong, and no wonder. Small business ownership and its operation has proven to be one of the most financially rewarding and intellectually stimulating pursuits that you can follow in your working life. And, you have the opportunity to be a master of your own financial destiny.

What makes a Club Tan® franchise a winning opportunity for prospective entrepreneurs? There are many elements that ultimately play a part in the success of a franchise and the happiness of its franchisees, but strong franchisor support is key. Exceptional support is, without a doubt, a highly valuable part of the Club Tan® franchise package.

• Training: A complete program for the franchisee and the franchisee’s support staff. The training will provide hands-on experience with every aspect of running the business. Club Tan® will also offer ongoing training as new techniques and products are developed and when franchisees desire a refresher course.
• A well-developed network of independently owned and operated Club Tan® franchises that gain support from each other. Networking, chat groups, and meetings. Communication between all of our salon owners is paramount to our success.
• A reliable and affordable product.
• Representatives that guide a Club Tan® franchisee from pre-opening, to grand opening, to a well established, successful franchise operation.
• Support on every detail of owning a franchise, from store décor, financing, and lease negotiations, to how to hire employees and where to buy products.
• Purchasing benefits and products in bulk and passing the savings on to Club Tan® franchisees.
• Monthly correspondence. From regular newsletters and emails to phone calls, Club Tan® representatives stay in touch with and communicate often and well with their franchisees.
• Mass marketing and advertising support.
• The option to expand, and help with growth.

Our support is given without “suffocating” a franchisee. This amounts to a more successful, confident, and dedicated Club Tan® franchise owner. Club Tan® views it’s franchisees as partners. Partnerships do not work unless everyone is happy, prosperous, and supporting each other.

The Benefits of Investing in a Franchise:

Minimize risk: Most experts will agree one of the primary reason you should consider franchising is it gives individuals the opportunity to go into business for themselves with an excellent chance of success at a minimum of risk. Starting a new business from scratch is inherently risky. The learning curve is steep and unforgiving. Most studies conclude that over 90% of new businesses fail within 5 years. In comparison, U.S. Dept of Commerce studies have shown that 92% of franchised businesses are still operating after 5 years.

Established products or services: Club Tan® offers products and services that have been successfully developed, tested, refined and sold for over eight years.

Brand name recognition: Club Tan® offers national and regional name recognition. This allows our franchisees to attract new customers to their location that are familiar or already pre-sold on the products or services being offered.

Start up assistance: Club Tan® has experience and knowledge to help new franchise owners transition from a Grand Opening to a profitable ongoing business.

Management assistance: From accounting to personnel management, Club Tan® is able to transfer a wealth of knowledge on how to successfully manage and operate a new business.

Marketing assistance: Club Tan® offers many marketing advantages. This includes developing effective marketing plans for a local market. In addition Club Tan® has the resources and experience in developing a regional and national marketing program that benefits all franchise owners.

Financial assistance: Club Tan® offers assistance in financing a new franchise through arrangements with lending institutions. It is much easier to obtain financing for a Club Tan® franchise than a new start-up business.

Purchasing power: With group purchasing it is possible to obtain significant savings on goods, supplies, and services. Cost savings are a result of the power of group purchasing.

Proven and refined system: Club Tan® is able to transfer a proven and refined system of operations. This includes operating and management controls developed by the Club Tan®, and uniform operational standards such as quality control.

Best chance for success: In short, your chances of success with a Club Tan® franchise are much higher than if you attempted to start a business on your own.
