<description><![CDATA[  This is an excellent opportunity for a new owner to step into a franchise business that is positioned for growth. The current owner has run this popular hair salon absentee with no involvement for many years. However, the lack of passion and focus on the business has resulted in sub-par performance and out of line ratios from the franchisor perspective. The opportunity is being offered at likely half of what it would cost to build out a new franchise of this nature, and has excellent cash flow prospects under more focused ownership, which can remain absentee. The business is currently cash positive and netted just under $60K in its peak year. The owner has also recently created the opportunity for a new owner to possibly secure a lower lease rate coming in, immedietely adding to the bottom line. Add to that the support of a solid franchise that spends $250,000 on marketing regionally and you have an excellent foundation for return. Grif Frost, E2 visa business specialist for Japanese buyers on the Big Island of Hawaii has identified this as an ideal opportunity for obtaining an E2 visa and own a profitable business in paradise through effective management, making your dream of living and working in paradise not far off.If you are looking for a primed growth opportunity at a low upfront investment, then get behind this solid franchise in a store being offered well below start-up costs. General business management experience and qualifying financials are the only requirements, and this need not be owner managed to accommodate the turn-around! ]]> </description>

<description><![CDATA[ This business offers a unique and comparatively lower risk investment opportunity for a broader spectrum of the market than most businesses for sale. Though primarily in the self-storage industry, this business has three segments that generate revenue, each complimenting the next in terms of the business model. The two primary segments of the business are more traditional and do posses certain competitive advantages that make them a solid investment. The third is a relatively new to market service that has excellent potential and is already proving a solid and sustainable business model. The business as a whole has generated on average, over $170,000 in the past two years, and 2008 is on track to be the best year ever. All aspects of the company are fully staffed for day to day operations, and the owners combined only put in 0-10 HOURS PER WEEK! Due to the nature of the business model and organizational structure put in place by the owner, this business makes for a solid absentee prospect for an investor or a great turn-key operation for a new owner operator. Due to confidentiality concerns, specific details about the business are withheld for qualified buyers who have signed a Non-Disclosure Agreement, to whom complete financials and a 27 page Confidential Business Profile will be made available to. As a closing note, to back up the purchase price, the sale includes a valuable master leasehold valued at $777,000. This figure does not include the significant asset value that the business segments themselves posses. These asset values combined with the stable and somewhat low risk cash flows make this a solid third party financing candidate. All in all, this is a well rounded opportunity with excellent investment prospects. So if you are looking for a well grounded and easy to operate investment or business in paradise, then this is a quality of life opportunity you don't want to miss!  ]]> </description>
