Entrepreneur
Magazine has this to say about franchises: "Starting a business from
scratch is scary. That's why thousands of people prefer to buy a franchise,
which is based on a proven business model. The secret of success is
following the rules and operating your business according to the franchise plan."
THE PROPOSAL
A business system
designed by professionals with a proven track record. Both principals
in Enviro Systems have developed and currently run multi-million dollar
businesses. An Enviro Systems franchise allows you to tap into this expertise
to build your own future.
(See "About
Us" for more information.)
Enviro Systems
Renewable Resources has developed a trade name and trademark for farm
plantation grown firewood that carries with it an implicit standard of
a low moisture content, easy handling, conveniently packaged product.
This trademark and name is used on all packaging, documentation and advertising.
On-going support
in running your business.
Enviro Systems offers templates for print ads, flyers and promotional
materials, advice and business resources accessible 24 hours a day on
it's own Franchisees web site - all of this backed up by advice on marketing
your business and support from professionals in business administration,
marketing and the wood supply industry.
A pipeline to high-quality
product that meets consumer needs in a new and unique way - while opening
up new markets. Traditional wood
delivery meant the supplier would show up once a year, dump a load of
wood and leave the customer to stack and store it. That meant a
customer base limited to rural and suburban areas - as city dwellers typically
don't have the space to store a season's worth of wood!
Enviro Systems program expands the market by
providing end users with neatly packaged wood in easy to store 18kg
packages that can be delivered straight to the customers' doorsteps.
To date,
no retailers are supplying a packaged firewood product, which is of consistent
quality and is of the high standard of Enviro Systems plantation firewood.
Unlimited
opportunities. We welcome creative thinkers.. As a franchisee, you
can market your wood to hotels, restaurants and retail outlets. It's your
business - to build as big as you want it to go. And, unlike other agricultural
investments - you aren't burdened with the hassle of growing the product!
An
additional income stream for an existing business.
If you
are currently own a
- retail hardware
outlet
- service station
- home delivery business
- lawn mowing or
garden maintenance business
- roof or chimney
maintenance service
- home or business
cleaning service
or are
semi-retired or a retiree able to deliver firewood seasonally --
an Enviro
Systems franchise would give you the opportunity to offer customers a
new approach to their fuel needs delivered to their door in this unique
way.
As with all professional franchise opportunities,
Franchisees pay an annual licence fee and are
guaranteed a minimum supply of three (3) tonnes of firewood per annum,
for every franchise licence they purchase, increasing in the fourth year of the Franchise.
However, if at anytime,
you need further stock, - you can check out the Franchisee section of the web
site for opportunities to buy overstock from other Enviro Systems Franchisees. More Franchises are available at anytime to expand your
business.

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
Franchisees should receive an immediate income tax benefit for near 100%
of the Franchise licence fees and all on going cost as incurred. However,
this is dependent on how much effort you put into your business.
Taking a look at the ten-year projections chart below, you will see that
once the business is established - the returns on investment have the
potential to yield a 90 percent return by the end of the second year -
and by the 5th year, has the potential to yield a return of more than
216%!

THE
TIME IS RIGHT
Australian and New
Zealand Environment and Conservation Council Draft Code of Conduct has
recommended firewood merchants obtain firewood from sources that do not
threaten the conservation of flora and fauna of forest and woodland ecosystems.
It is believed that the guidelines will be implemented and this will have
an enormous impact on the availability of firewood nationally.* Already
the A.C.T. has introduced regulations on firewood sellers to ensure that
only dry wood of correct weight is sold and that customers receive information
on the source of their timber.
With both the domestic
and global consumer of wood products becoming increasingly environmentally
conscious, the identification of farm plantation grown product as sustainably
produced will be a major commercial advantage, thus attracting premium
prices for product that is plantation grown.

ENVIRO SYSTEMS'
MAJOR PLANTATION
Enviro Systems' major plantation is established on Warolim and surrounding
properties in the Parish of Kadnook County of Lowan. This section of approximately
980 hectares is situated in Kadnook Victoria approximately 10 kilometres
southwest of Edenhope. Of this, 100 hectares was planted in 1998 with
a further 350 hectares planted in the 1999 season, 200 hectares in 2000
and 200 hectares in 2001.
The combination of climate, soil and topography for the Green Triangle
region indicates that it is well suited to forestry, in particular to
the Eucalyptus globulus (Tasmanian Blue Gum) we grow. The plantation allows
Enviro Systems to guarantee the supply of firewood to franchisees. After
the first harvest, the tree re-sprouts from the stump. This is called
the 'coppice'. By removing all but the strongest shoots the plantation
regenerates.

Renewable Resources.

LIABILITY AS A FRANCHISEE?
