First of all, we have no commissioned sales people selling our business opportunity program. Second, we don't have flashy (expensive) video and audiotapes and brochures. Last, our program is designed to be primarily self-taught. You select the level of assistance you need (want). Most of our training material will come to you as a PDF book that saves us printing and shipping expenses. We pass those savings on to you!

It is really pretty simple. When a lease application is approved the funding source will give you a "buy rate" (interest rate) or a lease factor. Say you have a $20,000 piece of equipment and would like to make a 10% commission on this lease. The commission would be $ 2,000 and is added to the cost of the equipment in calculating the lease payment. Multiply $22,000 by the lease factor, or interest rate, in order to calculate the customer's lease payment. We show you how all the calculations work as part of our program. By the way, do just one lease like this every week and you have a six-figure income!

Absolutely! This is a perfect part-time business. Remember, you set your own hours, where and when you want to work. For people like yourself who want to stay active but not on a full time basis or for those who may want to ad equipment leasing to a service they are already providing, such as insurance or accounting. It is also perfect for those folks that may need to make a slow transition into the business due to financial constraints.
