10 more reasons why The Great Frame Up is a great business opportunity.

1.  Low startup and low inventory costs
If you've looked at other types of franchises, you know the startup costs can be astronomical. You'll be pleasantly surprised at our reasonable costs. Franchisees have told us this gave them an important comfort zone when they joined our franchise system, and it also enabled them to quickly expand.

2.  The combined buying power of FCI's 200+ stores
With our parent company's dominant industry position, we've been able to negotiate major discounts, not only with leading publishers, distributors and suppliers, but also with credit card providers, insurance companies, yellow pagesand more––discounts that will give your business a serious advantage over every other competitor out there.

3.  Assistance with site selection, lease negotiation and custom buildout
Our experienced startup team will work with you right from the beginning. We'll help evaluate potential sites, help negotiate the best possible lease, and work with you during the entire construction process. We know what it takes to make a store work, and we'll make sure yours gets off on the right foot, right from the beginning.


4.  Comprehensive training programs
Our franchisees come from a variety of different backgrounds. Some were experienced business people who recognized the potential of our concept, but had no framing experience. Others were experienced framers who had no idea how to run a successful business. Today, thanks to our intensive training program, which includes a thorough introduction to our state-of-the-art computer systems, our experienced business people have become expert framers, and our framers know exactly how to run an efficient business.

5.  Financing assistance
At your request, we'll be happy to connect you with third party financing sources that are familiar with our programs.

6.  Prime locations still available
Chances are, you'll find an excellent location in a shopping center near where you live. Or if you prefer, you can use this as an opportunity to relocate to just about any other area of the country you'd like.

7.  Professionally prepared, proven marketing and merchandising programs
The National Marketing Fund was established to provide you with a full range of professionally produced marketing and merchandising materials––the kind you couldn't afford as an independent business owner. Some of these programs include our proprietary www.myfcimarketing.com system and direct mail programs, our yearlong series of in-store merchandising programs, a link to your store's individual website on The Great Frame Up website, in-store window and point of sale signage and displays, and our Yellow Pages advertising discounts. Plus, our “Best Seller Lists” will give you an ongoing, industry-wide view of what's hot and what's not.

                                        8.  Ongoing support programs
As our Mission Statement says, "The success of our franchisees is our highest priority." We have dedicated professionals working full-time for you in our Franchise Support Center in St Louis, Mo, and trained field support managers as well.

9.  Our area, regional and national meetings
To help you stay current on all aspects of the industry, and to help you get to know your fellow franchisees around the country, we hold valuable seminars, workshops and idea-sharing sessions at our area, regional and national meetings.

10.  Personal satisfaction
Running a business isn't always a matter of dollars and cents. A great many people own successful businesses that give them no personal pleasure whatsoever. The Great Frame Up is different. Here, you're dealing with happy customers who come in by choice, who have interesting projects for you, and who are depending on you to help beautify their homes and offices. You're taking artwork or family heirlooms they genuinely treasure, and turning them into pieces they can display with pride. This makes it fun for both you and your customers.    

Estimated Initial Investment

The investment to develop a The Great Frame Up location, including the franchise fee, ranges from $112,541 to $201,087 depending upon store size, location, and local construction costs.
