The idea of starting a home business is incredibly intriguing. But many people simply can’t afford to wait for their business to grow and become profitable. They need to hit the ground running. One of the easiest ways to do this is to purchase a turnkey home business.A turnkey home business is a business that is already established. The business has a business plan in place, all the necessary equipment, advertising and marketing plans, and, most important, a client list. Sounds like an impossible opportunity, right? Well, you’d be surprised just how easy it is to find a turnkey home business.There are really two options for starting a turnkey home business:Buy existing business – you can purchase a successful home business from the original owner. Many people have taken the time to nurture and grow strong home businesses, but for a variety of reasons (retirement, health concerns, etc.) they need to leave their business. Rather than simply close the door to their operation, these owners decide to sell the company to an interested party.They give the buyer a successful business and client list, with the promise not to compete. Sometimes they will even help you learn the ropes for a while before leaving the business in your hands.Purchase a franchise business – perhaps the more common option is to purchase a franchise home businesses. Most of us are familiar with the idea of franchising, at least any of us that have ever walked into a McDonald’s or Burger King. But there are a number of very successful home franchise businesses.These businesses frequently have a national reputation, a marketing and advertising system in place, and elaborate systems and training. The advantage of purchasing a franchise is that you walk into an already successful business. Of course, the disadvantage is that it can be quite costly. A turnkey home business franchise can range in price from a few thousand to a hundred thousand, depending on the franchise.There are literally thousands of franchise opportunities for a turnkey business. Some of the more popular franchises include:* Children’s products and services
* Pet care, walking and grooming
* Home Cleaning
* Carpet Cleaning
* Closet Organization
* Garage Organization
* Disposal ServicesThe list goes on and on. If you want to work for yourself, you can find a turnkey home business that fits your needs, interests and skills.It’s important to investigate a turnkey business carefully. You will be investing substantial funds, and you want a guarantee that you will indeed see the profits that were advertised. Again, there are a number of fraudulent home business franchises, so do your research.A turnkey home business is literally that – an opportunity to start a business by merely turning a key. If you have some savings, and are willing to invest a little money, you can quickly have a successful business that you can operate out of your home. Before long, your initial investment will be repaid and you’ll be measuring your business success in profits.

Team National Review – What is Team National? Team National, also sometimes referred to as National Companies, is a debt-free network marketing company (or MLM home business) founded in 1997 by Dick Loehr. Located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the company is a legitimate business as evidenced by their multiple designations and associations: members of the Direct Selling Association (DSA), a Registered Member of Dunn & Bradsteet (D&B), a Member of the US Chamber of Commerce and a Member of the Better Business Bureau of Southeast Florida (BBB), with strong endorsements from people like best selling author & leadership development coach John Maxwell, among others.The Team National MLM Home Business “Product”:While most MLM home business companies market a product or service to generate revenue, Team National is different in that it markets a membership, saving people money on a wide variety of products and services in over 20 different industries. Since 1997, total membership and product sales is approaching $1 billion.The idea behind developing a company to provide benefits and services – now called membership savings – came as Dick envisioned an MLM home business program allowing anyone who owns a membership package to enjoy similar discount buying power as a Fortune 500 company. Starting with only a few basic discounts – savings on oil changes and new car purchases – the Team National MLM home business now offers substantial savings on everything from small everyday items (household goods, business supplies, eye-ware, etc) to larger once-in-a-while type items like jewelry, home furnishings and vehicles.They break up the savings into 4 different divisions:1. Factory Direct (up to 65% savings on items like jewelry and home furnishings)2. Group Buying Power – savings on:

New and used cars, parts and service; motorcycles, ATVs, personal watercraft, etc
Financial services – home mortgage, wealth planning, debt management
Health discount benefit plans – vision, dental, hearing, teledoc, chiropractic, etc
Rental Vehicles
Communication & Entertainment Services – long distance, phone, hi-speed internet, satellite, etc
Business savings – credit card processing, check processing, etc
Travel Services
Insurance Services
An exclusive product line – automotive, nutritional supplements, skin care, etc
3. Business Exchange – save at thousands of local and small businesses across the country4. E-Commerce – up to 30% commissions from over 100 popular and brand-name retail stores with a Team National websiteThe Team National MLM Home Business Opportunity:Although the company’s membership program clearly demonstrates great value and is rather unique in the industry, distributors – or IMDs (Independent Marketing Directors) as they’re referred to – who focus primarily on selling the membership or aspects of the membership in order to get sales will not make much money with Team National. As with all MLM home businesses, MLM and internet home based businesses, creating a long-term, thriving, walk-away residual income requires leverage in the form of team building. By building teams, you’re able to leverage your efforts, time, resources and energy to get not just a few membership packages purchased, but rather to get hundreds and thousands of memberships purchased through your network or team from which you receive your override so-to-speak (just like a real estate or insurance broker receives an “override” on the sales of their agents).The optional earnings (Team National compensation plan) they offer is also one of the better ones in the industry due to the amount of money Team National pays out. This is because the company pays out 72% of the memberships back to the Independent Marketing Directors in the form of commissions and bonuses with their hybrid binary structure. This unusually high compensation amount is due to the fact that there is no product markup or profit margin added onto the price of the membership. The membership value comes from the large volume of Team National members which enables the company to negotiate these savings based on the group’s high-volume buying power (similar to a co-op). Each new membership sold doesn’t really incur any direct cost to the company (as opposed to companies that are primarily product-based which obviously incur the cost of producing, manufacturing and shipping the products they market). This again is one main advantage Team National has over its rivals in the industry.
Highlights of the Team National MLM Home Business compensation plan:As discussed previously, the Team National business model as with most network marketing companies, pays out the most for those who build teams (which in turn gets more memberships purchased). Using their hybrid-binary structure, they pay out between $25-$100 for every membership sale. In addition, Team National has created a points system where on average 4 membership sales in each leg of the binary will produce a $1,500 check as often as weekly (see compensation plan for exact details). This is strong compensation and as your team grows you earn additional legs (paycenters they call them) which each pays out an additional $2,500 when on average 4 sales are made on each of the paycenter’s 2 legs. This can add up to substantial income for the serious business builder.Again, it is crucial that when building a business with Team National you focus on leveraging your efforts through team building rather than putting on a salesman hat and trying to solely sell memberships. When you compare $25-$100 a sale to even $1,500 a week for virtually the same effort through team building it becomes rather obvious.So how does someone in Team National go about building a profitable, income-producing team?First, you must have a system in place to help you seek out and find qualified business partners to present the Team National business opportunity to. You can do this by just talking to people you know, or you can work your MLM home business smarter by leveraging the power of tools like the internet to help you find and sort through a virtually endless supply of potential prospects actively looking for an opportunity like the Team National MLM home business provides. Work smarter to multiply your results and income and get your business in front of more people to make more money (it’s all a numbers game after all) or continue doing what you’ve always done if you want to continue to get the same results.
