Franchise Package

Just like all the other businesses, we also want to have a bigger reach. We are not limiting our services to Cebu-based clients only. In over a year, we have been getting inquiries from Metro Manila, Davao, Cagayan de Oro, Dumaguete, Leyte, Bohol and many parts of the country. Because of this, we came up with the idea of expanding the business to other parts of the country without asking for a huge amount and monthly royalty fees for the franchise. We just named it as a franchise package for a balloon business but in reality, this will be a totally new business using our own name of choice. We will consider you our sister company and we will refer all potential clients who are living in your area – for example, you can name your business as “Iligan Balloons – a sister company of Cebu Balloons”.

Included in this balloon business franchise package is training you on how to promote or advertise your product the modern way. There is no need for you to hire a huge marketing team because 1-2 persons can do the work.

Similar to CebuBalloons.com, we encourage using a generic name for the website. Of course, when you register it in your local government, you will have a more specific business name because of the rules of DTI (Department of Trade and Industry). Because we are not asking for a monthly royalty fee or premium, you can be sure that your earnings will go to your own pocket. This is simply our way of helping those who are serious about having a business that they can rely on. Although not all parts of the country is feasible to sell these products and services, most cities and even municipalities have “paying clients” who are willing to have a nice balloon setup and personalized items.

Note: We are still polishing this start-up business franchise package. We may add more necessary items & details to this package to make sure you will have a working business. We will entertain inquiries, proposals, comments, partnerships, etc even if we are still perfecting this deal. We will make sure you get the biggest bang for the buck & get a fast ROI.
