WHAT BENEFITS WILL I GET WITH THE PAYMENT OF

FRANCHISE FEES?

We appreciate that young institutes like yours may concede to our franchise fees of Rs 2,00,000/- (max) after a lot of consideration. But if we take a brief look as to the superior benefits you will get with the franchise, you will see why our fees are fully justified without any question:

1) COMPUFIELD will impart technical knowledge to a maximum of 4 staff at our premises. We will educate your staff with all our years of experience. Surely, no monetory price can be assigned to such training, since it is invaluable.

2) In addition to (1) above, we will advise you in Administration and marketing techniques, which will prepare you for the new enhanced role you are about to take on.  Our advise to you on hardware  software / space utilizaton / marketing, will yield you maximum returns, not in some indefinite future, but rather in the immediate course of time.

3) Please consider the high cost of training professional instructors for your staff:

Assuming the minimum Inhouse training (FOR JUST ONE COURSE), for one student is

Rs. 2,000/-.

To train a person and make him a PROFESSIONAL INSTRUCTOR would require 10 times more effort and  resources. This would mean that to get just one instructor educated professionally, you would have to invest Rs. 20,000/- on him. Thus to train four such Instructors in 50 short term courses will be

20,000 X 50 = Rs. 10,00,000/-

COMPUFIELD also gives you support to train your staff in case your staff leaves you after some time, so that your show is not affected.  Please note COMPUFIELD considers staff efficiency a primary factor to run such an Institute.

Comparing this amount to the Franchise fees COMPUFIELD requires, you will see that we have been very reasonable in fixing our price tag. It should be kept in mind that to have come to such a upper stage COMPUFIELD itself had to invest in a sum SEVERAL TIMES LARGER than the franchise fees required.

PLUS, COMPUFIELD gives you World-Class work (in forms of Colour Computer Printouts, files of 2-D and 3-D Animation files, files of Multimedia & Digital Video Editing on harddisk) which our students have created at our premises.  Thus your claim that you would be innovating world class material will be fully supported.

Today, Computer education is a very big business and our growth and  performance is directly related to advertising.

Regional advertisement cost is shared by all franchiseein that region, (i.e. Karnataka, Gujarat, Goa, etc.) if applicable.

Local advertisement cost is borne 100% by local licensee.(i.e. cost of advertisement in local newspapers, banners, handbills, local exhibition, demonstration in colleges/schools etc.)

National advertisement is 100% borne by licensor (Compufield H.O.) with name (city) of branches and tel no. mentioned in all parts of India.

International advertisement is 100% borne by licensor (Compufield H.O.) with name (city) of centres and tel no. mentioned in our websites www.compufield.com & compufield.net.

At the local level COMPUFIELD advertises in newspapers like TIMES OF INDIA & MID-DAY.

At the National level COMPUFIELD advertises in newspapers like TIMES OF INDIA, EXPRESS COMPUTER & PC-QUEST,.

A franchise arrangement would distribute the burden of marketing and advertising at both levels, thus mutually improving on the profit margin.

WHY 15% ROYALTY?

This question is quite logical.

Please note, Compufield (H.O.) spends more than 15% to 20% on National and International Advertisements to promote courses offered by Compufield.

COMPUFIELD spends more than  25% in research and development, thus being with the latest technology, in hardware & software for last 15 years.

Please note, Compufield (H.O.) gives free training on the latest courses to the staff members of the franchise centre on an ongoing basis.

Exercises, Sample files, Instruction Manuals & Demos are also updated on an ongoing basis.
