Although Interface is in the financial services business and the ability to grasp financial issues is a necessary ingredient for success, it is not a strict requirement that Interface Owners have a background in finance, banking or accounting. Interface looks for franchisees with above average people communications skills, individuals that are decision makers and naturally individuals that have a proven business background with an entrepreneurial outlook. Interface always provides thorough training in the use of its proven system, as well as ongoing support and direction. Interface Owners always possess a “sense” of business and people in order to execute their role as small business 'problem solders.'

Interface stands alone as a business opportunity for several reasons:

• Interface has been consistently rated #1 rated financial services franchise in North America for 3 consecutive years.
  
• It is the only “multifaceted” invoice-discounting franchise available – it focuses on numerous industries and services.
  
• The business can be conducted on a full- or part-time basis depending upon the owner's wishes and needs, and it can also be integrated into other business services.
  
• It provides a one-of-a-kind service to quality businesses, and as a result, tends to develop very strong relationships with its clients.
  
• In addition, Interface Owners have the option of operating this business from either a home or commercial office. Upwards of $135,000 is required to cover franchise fee and startup costs, but the vast majority of that capital is held by Interface Owners to be used in the actual business of purchasing receivables.
• This is a franchisee that typically has NO employees, NO premises, NO upfront inventory to purchase and NO specific custom made equipment to purchase.

Area Development Opportunities
Interface Area Development is a very unique opportunity in the world of franchising. Since Interface is primarily concerned with its franchise “community”, it is only natural that it would create a different pathway and means of building a quality network of franchisees that support each other's success.

The mission of the Area Developer business is to establish a symbiotic network of invoice-discounting professionals within a large, specified geography, and manage the growth and development of that network at the local level. Area Development is the best method of creating local franchise communities and, therefore, Interface chooses to share profits with Area Developers in return for a deeper level of local support that a national headquarters usually cannot supply.

Area Developers, as franchisees themselves, have two separate profit centers. They will own and operate The Interface Financial Group invoice-discounting franchise, and they will be responsible for the sale and support of franchises within their “area” and, as such, will profit from the execution of those functions.

This exciting program is focused on business professionals seeking a new level of achievement. The strategic planning and support offered by Interface, combined with the Developer's professional, marketing, and interpersonal skills, make this one of the most comprehensive opportunities of its kind.

Those chosen as Area Developers will be able to fund startup costs in the area of $250,000+.

Also, because the roles of coaching, mentoring and managing the local network are critical to the success of this business, prospective Area Developers must possess those particular skills and talents.
