Proforma Cost Comparisons

About Proforma

Gregory P. Muzzillo founded Proforma in 1978 with a college friend. Within one year, the business they started with $200 saw its sales grow to $250,000 and their clients expand to over 300. By 1982, sales reached $1 million and Proforma was named in successive years to Inc. Magazine's 500 Fastest Growing Companies - the only company in the business forms industry to make the list twice. To continue Proforma's rapid growth, Muzzillo looked to alternate routes. In 1986, he developed the Proforma franchise model - a network of independent distributors working together to build marketing clout and strong supplier relationships. This model proved successful, as Proforma, now in its fourth decade, has grown to nearly $400 million in sales. Proforma is the leading franchise opportunity in the $200 billion Print and Promotional Products industry. Proforma is a great opportunity for individuals who are looking for a professional opportunity to sell in a business-to-business environment. Our Franchises can be operated from a home-based office and no inventory, equipment, or retail storefront is required.
