The Freedom that Comes with a Franchise

These are uncertain times. Businesses that were rock solid just a few months ago are crumbling. Unemployment rates in the US have hit the highest levels since the Great Depression. Bankruptcies are looming. The housing and rental markets are tanking, even worse than during the Great Recession of the late 2000s. Oil prices have been so volatile that the price per barrel actually went into the negative for the first time in history. And let’s not forget the millions of lives lost and forever changed by COVID-19.

But within all of the negativity, there is hope. Maybe you are like Paul and me, who sat around a barbecue with a couple of beers dreaming of more—of earning big money for ourselves, not just our bosses. Maybe you’ve been furloughed or laid off after years of dedication at a company, now waiting by the phone or computer with bated breath for news of when your life can start again. Or maybe you are among the millions of people who have been a part of the corporate rat-race for years and have finally had a chance to experience what it’s like to work from home. Of course, it isn’t the same as owning your own business, but just having the taste of not having to report to an office, not having to sit in traffic, having your family nearby, and to wearing pajama bottoms during Zoom meetings is, well, freeing.

If any of these descriptions apply to you, an EventPrep® franchise just might be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for—especially considering these uncertain economic times. EventPrep is a home-based, life-style franchise opportunity—a forward-thinking, full-service event planning and management company, headquartered in Central Florida. It leverages Federal Conference, our flagship company’s globally-recognized brand name, while capitalizing on our in-depth industry experience and relationships. Our reach is global, and our primary focus is to save clients time, money, and anxiety while planning unforgettable events.

You might be wondering: what do Paul and I know about event planning? Well, we captured the number one spot in a $25 billion dollar industry. We went on to win hundreds of millions of dollars in contracts. We experienced nearly 25,000% growth over the first three years and made the Inc 500 twice, ranked number 23 and number 2 – becoming the second fastest growing privately held company in the United States.

And then we launched EventPrep because we wanted to share that kind of success. We want our event planners to take pride in owning their own business. The clients and relationships they make, they get to keep. And they reap the majority of the reward for their hard work, not us. In fact, we offer the highest commission split in the industry and provide a full business model, ongoing support, and client leads as well.

But the best part is the time, peace of mind, and freedom our franchisees experience. Just the fact that you are reading this means you have goals yet to be realized, potential yet to be tapped, and dreams yet to be achieved. And because of the global pandemic, businesses will be sailing in uncharted territory for years to come.

The question is: would you prefer to hold the wheel yourself and chart your course, or are you content with someone else navigating your fate?
