What’s the Difference Between a Hamburger and Insurance?

What’s the Difference Between a Hamburger and Insurance?

SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS!!…at least if you’re looking to open a franchise.

It may seem silly to weigh the cost of a fast food restaurant against the cost of an insurance agency, but when you’re shopping for a small business opportunity, the difference in up-front costs is no joke.

Most fast-food restaurant franchises require a potential candidate to have a minimum net worth of $500K; and several require at least $1M in assets – BEFORE THEY’LL EVEN TALK TO YOU!

WHAT’S MORE?!!, a hefty down-payment is usually required to be considered a contender as a burger bar operator.

When you contrast the strict requirements of the fast food industry with those of insurance, you’ll find that the insurance door has a wider opening for entrepreneurs.

For starters, a Farmers agency owner is not required to pay a franchise fee. Instead, a Farmers agent demonstrates their financial stability by showing a minimum of $70K in financial assets.

A potential Farmers agency owner is able to choose from several entry points and enjoys ongoing support and training that is tailored to their needs.

Couple those features with an aggressive bonus structure that’s aligned with this commission-based opportunity, and you may think twice about chasing a scarce and costly fast-food industry opportunity.

Oh!!.. and there’s one other key consideration in favor of becoming a Farmers agent…. YOU CAN GO HOME WITHOUT SMELLING LIKE A FRENCH FRY!!!
