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 monetary 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 utilization / 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 In-house 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, Video cassettes of 2-D and 3-D Animation files) which our Students have created inside 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 franchisee in that region. (i.e. Karnataka, Gujarat, Goa, Mumbai etc.) if applicable.

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

National advertisement is 100% borne by franchisor (COMPUFIELD HEAD OFFICE) with name of (city) of centers and tel. no. mentioned in all parts of India.

International advertisement is 100% borne by franchisor (COMPUFIELD HEAD OFFICE) with name of (city) of centers and tel. no. mentioned in the websites www.compufield.com & www.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 (HEAD OFFICE) 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 (HEAD OFFICE) gives free training on the latest courses to the staff members of the franchise center on an ongoing basis.

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