Why
Proforma?
 Proforma’s business model is unique
in the franchising world because we target the lucrative $150
billion dollar business-to-business Commercial Print, Promotional
Products and Business Documents industry. This means that our
owners:
- Have a low initial investment with a high potential
return
- Sell products used by ALL business—products that are
consistently reordered
- Do not need expensive retail store locations, equipment or
inventory
- Can build their business based on continuing
relationships
Many Proforma owners work out of their homes with very little
overhead. And over 40 Proforma franchise owners have achieved more
than $1 million dollar each in annual sales.
