PURCHASE AND START-UP COSTS
Financial Considerations
As a franchisee your revenue is dependent on how many editions you are operating, and on your ability to sell advertising effectively and network in the local community.
Today, the typical Coffee News publisher owns an average of three franchises and publishes three or more editions of Coffee News. The level of income you desire will dictate how many franchises and editions you will need to own in order to achieve your financial goals.
What do you get for this? A BUSINESS IN A "BOX!"
