About Glacial Star Group

Own your own collection agency! In today's down economy, the collection industry is booming and Glacial Star Group, Inc. is offering a collection franchise opportunity. At a price equivalent to a mere fraction of what one would pay to start their own agency and become licensed nationwide, a GSG franchisee gains nationwide licensing, a full compliance department (to answer issues such as Attorney General or Better Business Bureau complaints), all necessary documents (including NDA's, contingency and purchasing contracts, and CNR Attorney reviewed letters) and full access to ICEware Corp.'s ICEware Collection Software, Hosted Collection Services and Hosted IT support. ICEware is based on Zero-Footprint Technology, meaning there is no need for in-house servers or other hardware. It is browser-based as well; thus uses only limited resources and works in an 'on demand' environment. Also, ICEware Corp. acts as an outsourced IT department for GSG franchisees; quickly and efficiently handling unlimited updates, reporting, customization and training at no additional cost, and eliminating the need for an in-house IT department. As an added note, ICEware can be integrated with third party vendors (including dialers, letter vendors, skip tracers and credit bureaus) at no additional cost. GSG also offers an Exchange Model which makes it possible for a company or individual to manage multiple remote offices anywhere in the world from a centralized location. GSG will put you in contact with their pre-approved exchange teams that work only on commission; meaning you don't pay unless they collect. Welcome to the first 'out-of-the-box' collection agency franchise opportunity coupled with the world's first designer collection software!
