Liptak Digital Services

First Prize Franchise Admin — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 22:34:37 +0000

Liptak Digital Services provides computer/IT support maintenance for healthcare. We have over 40 years of experience in the dental industry and have focused exclusively in this sector of the healthcare market to start, but we are moving into medical and veterinary as the technology is similar and the need to go “paperless” is a shift that all medical practitioners are faced with. Liptak is a national franchise. Currently Liptak franchises are located in San Diego (2), Colorado (2), Houston, Dallas and Cincinnati. The ideal franchisee that we are looking for is someone that has management experience as he/she will manage a stable of techs or consultants to perform the “in-office” services for the doctor. Liptak finds, screens and trains these consultants for the franchisee. The consultants are brought on as independent contractors, so the franchisee is not required to pay a salary, healthcare or taxes. The franchisee does not need experience in either dental or IT. The franchisee training process involves roughly 3-weeks of dental and computer network basics that enable the franchisee to operate efficiently. Liptak provides ongoing training for all franchisees that focuses on the latest dental technology. Additional training and collaboration on marketing strategies occurs on a weekly basis. Liptak is a high margin low overhead franchise as the business is home based, and there are very few expenses outside of royalty, marketing, insurance, and gas. Franchise prospects should be comfortable with developing new business i.e. sales calling on new accounts and maintaining current accounts with phone calls and office visits.

Eagle Tax

First Prize Franchise Admin — Fri, 21 May 2010 19:20:13 +0000

Eagle Tax is a retail tax preparation business. The business primarily attracts customers from low to middle income tax brackets. The business is seasonal, with most all of the customers coming into a store from mid January through the middle of April each year.
