Osbo Expands

The Organization Supporting Business Owners (OSBO), recently launched a national franchise program through OSBO Franchising, LLC as part of an expansion effort for the membership-based organization. OSBO Franchising, LLC is now offering franchises in select locations across the United States.

"The goal is to have independent franchise owners supporting their local business communities by providing consulting, training, networking and other business services typically offered through OSBO," said Tana Torrano, founder of OSBO and president of OSBO Franchising, LLC. "Paying members of any OSBO franchise also enjoy expanded benefits and access to online resources offered in the members' area of the OSBO website." OSBO was founded by Torrano in 2002, with its first location based in Huntsville Alabama. The concept of a low cost annual membership-based organization targeted to small and start-up business owners was created in order to provide a structured local resource for both free and paid consulting, training, mentoring, joint-marketing opportunities and purchasing discounts to its members. With a focus on helping businesses grow, the membership is open not only to business owners, but also to major corporations that provide products and services that the business owners need in order to succeed. Members may access benefits online, such as association health care programs, discounted office supplies, a resource guide for free and low cost business services and more.

"We are excited about growing the OSBO organization. Business owners in any part of the country can join and receive access to our benefits programs online." Torrano stated, "We regularly receive requests to offer our live and local services in other cities. By using the franchise model, we are able to not only expand our coverage area and services, but offer a real business opportunity for future franchise owners in these expansion markets." According to Torrano, there is a growing need for the type of services and benefits that OSBO provides. By creating an opportunity for an organization to be developed and managed by a local business owner, it will, in turn, give the members in those areas an advantage of local knowledge and expertise. "In addition to the online benefits, we want all of our services and benefits to be available to business owners near their place of business, so that they will have a greater opportunity to participate in local and hands on training as well as networking," added Torrano. Franchisees are currently being sought in several states. Torrano states "We have had an interest from other franchising companies about providing membership in OSBO for benefits and discounts for their franchisees and we hope that OSBO will be a great resource and service provider for franchising companies, as well as other business owners."
