Your investment in the Visionair Builder represents an opportunity to quickly start a visualization business that required years of effort and major financial outlays to develop. Consider the advantage of teaming with IdeaVision, a company devoted exclusively to developing the Visionair Builder business concept since 1993. Our business owners have the vision to leverage off a defined capability in order to capitalize on the tremendous growth potential of this innovative visualization concept. The price of the business is $12,400, offered via a simple licensing arrangement. Licensing is a more flexible and much less expensive approach than franchising. The relatively low investment level opens up many financing options, including a payment plan available from IdeaVision. Your total start-up cost is not much more. You should budget for computer upgrades (if necessary) and an additional $1,000-2,000 to kick off your initial advertising campaigns. It's hard to come by a comprehensive business that's more affordable to start and operate: * One-time license fee with no royalty charges * Professional rate of return on your time * Low overhead and operating expenses * No employees to pay or manage * No inventory and minimal equipment requirements * Ongoing business development is included. Imagine all the potential applications... 1. New Construction * Home Building * Storefronts * Office buildings * Clubhouses * Entrances 2. Landscaping * Tree, shrub, flower selection * Color and texture coordination * Growth analysis * Sidewalks, patios, driveways * Fences, walls, trellises 3.
