The FR System is vital for a survival community to operate successfully . . .

1. You cannot get a group of 30 or more volunteers to agree on the 100s, 1,000s of decisions you will need to make to get up and running

• This is leading reason why independent, voluntary survival communities fail
• With FR system and Operations Manual and our on going consulting help, you will have guidelines to follow, no votes by members

2. Signing up people to join a survival community is very difficult if you are unproven, single location

• Fortitude Ranch an established, respected brand with fantastic media and Internet coverage
• As a Franchise, you are part of the FR system, your members join FR, a proven system, all our locations available for their use, and we will keep them served even if you, their “home fort” shuts down
• We have thousands on our newsletter list waiting for a location near them to join; and hundreds of thousands who will contact us when they get a big scare
• We can sell your memberships for you
  – Experienced sales associates, commission paid
  – Also can do your own sales, but most likely to come from our leads given our huge Internet presence and media coverage

. . . the FR System provides a proven business system and we handle key paperwork and billing

3. We handle the billing and paperwork for new members

• We invoice, collect, and send you payment after any sales commissions or royalty payments made
• For your sales, we also handle the initial processing and billing, just no sales commission for you to pay
• You need to handle your own business accounting for your operations, but sales and quarterly/annual food restocking fees handled by corporate accounting
  – Optional training on using QuickBooks for FR style business accounting

4. We train, show, and continue to coach you how to operate successfully

• Detailed, constantly improving Operations Manual provides great guidelines and suggestions for how to operate
  – Not a regulations book, a set of guidelines and practical recommendations that you can and should tailor to your situation
  – Fantastic training program for both Owner and Ranch Manager
  – Your RM participates in on going regular FR staff meetings both to get new ideas and ask questions, get help on problems
  – There is no discrimination between Franchise and Corporate staff all are members of the FR team, eager to help each other out
