In the past decade, the number of check cashing outlets in the U.S. has more than tripled as more and more people have found it provides a level of convenience and service not available from traditional banks and finance companies. Cash Plus, founded in 1984, is one of the first companies to apply franchising techniques to the check cashing industry and has developed a "next generation" retail business system which is generating unusually high returns. Currently, core services consist of check cashing, payday advances, wire transfers, and money orders. As a complement to the core services, supplementary products and services serve important roles in the business attracting new customers, encouraging repeat business, and/or increasing the dollar value of customer transactions. Depending on demographic factors, these supplemental services may include the following: mail box rentals, ATM machines, utility bill payments, Cash Plus Mastercard debit card, pre-paid phone cards, notary public service, photo identification cards, copy and fax services, bus pass/token sales, stamps and envelopes, pre-paid phone service, mortgage lending service, and lottery sales.

Family Financial Centers is the closest thing to owning a neighborhood branch bank. We have a bank look and feel, and we offer a full menu of financial services to the "un-banked" or "under-banked" customer, typically a middle-income working family. Our services include check cashing, money orders, wire transfer, electronic bill payment, tax-preparation services, short-term loans, and a low to middle income mortgage program. We are located in attractive suburban strip centers close to the customer's home or work. The underlying business model is exceptional, providing good income and high return on investment. Our only inventory is cash, and we open and close our teller stations daily just like a bank. The business can be run with one to two people, and the owner can bring on a manager to run the store once the business is ramped up. We are doing acquisitions (for candidates who prefer an existing cash flow), new stores, and a "store in a store" kiosk concept that can go inside of an existing business (convenience store, grocery store, tax prep office, etc). We offer single units, multiple units, and area development on a selective basis. Our typical candidate is an upper level corporate executive making a good income and with reasonably strong net worth, or an entrepreneur that is selling their business and looking to get into something else, or diversify into another business. With the current economic situation candidates may be concerned about opening a new business. With FFC they will be operating a branch bank for the ever-growing middle-income market that depends on our services.

IFG 50/50 is an affordable home-based franchise that provides short-term working capital to small businesses by purchasing current, quality invoices at a discount, thus accelerating the client's cash flow and growth.

The Interface Financial Group (IFG) has been in the Invoice Discounting business since 1972. Our new IFG 50/50 brand offers all the same great benefits of the Standard IFG franchise but with very significant enhancements, and a lower entry level!

In IFG 50/50, all transactions are syndicated 50/50 with the franchisee and the franchisor, and that means less working capital required to fund transactions; IFG does the bulk of the due diligence and the 'paperwork' for the transactions, and IFG 50/50 franchisees will concentrate their efforts on building the referral relationships - they do the 'people work'. A very innovative Capital Leverage Program has also been introduced to allow franchisees to grow their capital even faster using 'other people's money'.

Through syndication - Interface effectively sharing the risk and reward with their franchisee - the franchisee gains access to the Interface underwriting and management expertise. That's the IFG 50/50 approach - each party (Interface and the franchisee) contributes 50% of the capital. This in itself creates an above-average return for the franchisee.

When Interface then says to their franchisees, "You can now borrow up to 65% of your contribution", that's when the leverage takes over and the return on actual capital employed by the franchisee explodes.

Our IFG 50/50 franchisees are excellent communicators, relationship builders, with decision-making and problem-solving skills, and much more sales & marketing-oriented.
