What is the RWorld™ "Direct Sales Franchise" business model?
Simply put it's a franchise without the bricks and mortar or the manufacturing component of the RWorld™ master franchise, the store and warehouse become your home or is incorporated into your RWorld™ mobile unit or your existing retail business location. You will become a local resource for high quality cartridge consumables that you will deliver to neighbors, businesses and home businesses in your territory on a daily, weekly, monthly and bi-monthly basis that will grow year after year into a substantial ongoing revenue stream.
The "Direct Sales Franchise" is a "starter kit" that allows you to gain access to this great industry segment. You will be responsible to collect empty cartridges as instructed by RWorld™ to build your own inventory of cartridges that will be remanufactured by your local RWorld™ "micro plant" master franchise.
As a "Direct Sales Franchise" you will have access to all the same products that the "micro" plant franchisee has without the cost of the overheads invested in a retail micro plant location.
The unique difference is you will supply the cartridges directly from your mobile unit, home or retail location
.
What is the size of my territory?
RWorld™ Home Based franchises will enjoy a contracted protected territory of approximately 15,000 homes and or businesses.
How much can I make?
Income will vary greatly based on a wide variety of factors outside of the control or RWorld™ but what we can tell you is that 70% of the homes in your region will have at least one computer and a printer and almost all business. Typical use is five to six cartridges per year per printer in homes and significantly more in businesses. That consumer consumption can double with the introduction of the internet, children and a digital camera. RWorld™ finds that consumption will also increase with consumer access to reasonably priced cartridges that you will provide. RWorld™ suggests you do a survey amongst your friends and family and find out how many cartridges they consume annually to help you make your own assessment.
(RWorld™ makes no earnings claims)

How does the "Direct Sales Franchise" versus the "micro plant" affect my profit margins?
While you do enjoy the benefits of the reduced franchise fee and start up expenses as well as a handsome profit margin on all the products you carry your margins logically are slightly less than those of the "micro plant" master franchise.
What happens as my Home Based business grows?
In time as your sales and profits grow you may chose to mature into a home based cartridge remanufacturer or even a retail "micro plant" facility and enjoy the same profit margins as the micro plant franchisee. The option will always be yours.
What is a "micro plant"?
A miniaturized version of a full-scale inkjet remanufacturing facility. RWorld™ works with world leaders in this technology to bring our franchisees the best in high quality cartridge remanufacturing capabilities.
What separates RWorld™ from the competition?
The RWorld™ business model is unique not only to the franchise sector but in the printer cartridge remanufacturing sector over all. You the RWorld™ "Direct Sales Franchise" business will concentrate on the grass roots of consumer angered by high cartridge prices and provide a high level of service that can not be matched by any other franchise or big box retailer.
What about cartridge remanufacturing capacity?
The local "micro plant" is designed to remanufacture volumes in enough excess capacity to support all the "Direct Sales Franchise" surrounding it. The "micro plant" can easily produce volumes enough to support the retail and wholesale accounts you can develop.
Besides Remanufacturing Inkjet Cartridges what other products will I be able to sell?
RWorld™ has built a complete line of complementary products that you will market in your location. Some of these include compatible inkjet cartridges for HP, Epson, Canon and Brother printers as well as access to a complete line of high quality remanufactured laser toner cartridges, laser printers and other complementary products.
What is the typical level of investment in an RWorld™ "Direct Sales Franchise"?
Investment in your turn-key RWorld™ "Direct Sales Franchise" will depend slightly on you and you current home office set up as well as how quickly you intend to launch and grow your business but typically $40,000 to $60,000 which includes all, training and the entire product line you will need to open and start selling and collecting empty cartridges from the first day (see the "Direct Sales Franchise" budget for more details).
What other monies will be required?
A minimum investment of $40,000 is required to setup your "Direct Sales Franchise" mobile unit or location and prepares you to begin operations but you will also require some working capital to ensure your operational success over the start up months while your business builds its client base. RWorld™ suggests that you have a minimum of $10,000 to $20,000 in operating capital as a contingency for items such as marketing costs.
What does my investment include?
Everything you need to get started in your new business complete from opening inventory of compatible cartridges and a small inventory of remanufactured inkjet cartridges, training at an RWorld™ location or in a class room situation, operations manuals and marketing templates.
What about training?
RWorld™ understands that an investment in you means an investment in the entire organization. RWorld™ will train you in complete detail and all areas of operation of your new business from, set up of your home based business, layout of all equipment, in depth industry knowledge, local marketing techniques, collection program marketing and everything in between to ensure you get up and running fast.
RWorld™ will have ongoing training programs running to continually upgrade the skill levels of all RWorld™ investors and their teams.
Marketing assistance?
RWorld™ has made a commitment to help separate your business from the rest of the field. RWorld™ has invested years in developing grass roots programs that you will be able to utilize to build your business faster and stronger that anyone currently in this market segment.
How long before I can be up and running in my new business?
Once you have committed to going forward you can be up and running within a few weeks depending on your location and special requirements.
How much space is required to run my RWorld™ business?
No more than it would take to operate any home based business with the exception of a small inventory of cartridges and your physical work space to house your desk, computer, fax machine and of course your printer.
What about competition?
You will have a definite advantage. At present all other franchises in this sector are bricks and mortar based enterprises working from store fronts or in mall kiosks. You can be the first in your community to deliver a cartridge to your friends and neighbors in your community.
I have heard of "drill and fill" what is it and how will it affect my business?
Drill and fill is the process used by some franchise competitors as well as consumers and is a process as basic as drilling a hole in an empty cartridge and then adding a syringe of ink to that cartridge completing the crude refill process. It is really no different than what you can attempt in your own home by purchasing an ink cartridge refill kit but is very inconsistent in its quality and can produce substantially reduced printer performance and reduced cartridge life and usefulness.
What are universal inks?
A common misleading notion spread by refill kit manufacturers trying to make a quick buck by selling one type of ink for all inkjet cartridges. RWorld™ only uses inks that are custom formulated for individual inkjet cartridges to ensure high performance, longer cartridge life and excellent print quality and colour brilliance.
Why buy a franchise?
Franchising has become a way of life in North America and around the world now employing one out of eight people. As you build your "Direct Sales" Franchise business you are building equity in your business that can one day be sold as a viable business as part of a recognized trade mark.
What about financing?
Typically you will require approximately 30%-40% of the capital required to start your business. Financing from that point from lending institutions will depend on your individual track record with your lending organization .
Where do I go from here?
A serious investor will need to start building a business plan which will help identify whether this business is the right one for you and whether it fits your future goals and life style.
Once negotiations have commenced and a letter on intent is signed RWorld™ can provide you with a template to help you build a reasonable plan. Part of your plan will include the experience you have that qualifies you as a serious applicant for an exclusive RWorld™ franchise.
RWorld™ is excited about the opportunity to work with you and help you develop a business and build a quality of life second to none.
Become a part of RWorld™ and all the environmental good it stands for and build a program that can support you, as well as help local organizations meet their needs in your community and provide consumers with access to your quality products at tremendous savings.
It is a true win-win.
