 .Best New Business Opportunity
Why we are the Best New Opportunity in advertising
Unlike a scrolling billboard truck, our Mobile Billboard is Patented (Pat. # US D616,030S), protecting our Licensees' from competitors entering the marketplace with a similar advertising format.  Scrolling billboard trucks are not patented, so there is no protection.

 We have the only multi-ad, non-scrolling mobile billboard available to business.  If they want our unique advertising service, they have to get it from us.  We have the Patent.

Understanding Licensing versus Franchising
Franchising and Licensing are similar in that they both bring a proven business model to the marketplace for a fee. An approved Franchisee or Licensee purchases the rights to use the business model, systems, name, logo, Patents, Trademarks, etc. to establish a duplicate of the business model. On-going rights to use the business model are paid for with "royalties" that are paid periodically (usually weekly or monthly).
Franchising is a controlled and regimented business model that requires the Franchisee to follow, exactly, the systems and operational model. All aspects of the business operations are controlled, monitored and must be in compliance with the model. Although this method has advantages for certain businesses, it can be too inflexible for businesses that need to adapt to local markets. It is typically not used for a Patented product.

Licensing is a "show and tell" business model, where the Licensee is shown all aspects of the proven operational model, but is not required to follow it. Licensing allows the business model to be changed (within certain guidelines that do not violate Patents and Trademarks) to accommodate a Licensee's needs in a particular market. Licensing is commonly used for a Patented product, offering the Licensee Patent infringement protection.

The table below outlines some examples:

Disclaimer: The decision to purchase a Franchise or a License should be thoroughly researched prior to making a purchase decision. This information is NOT INTENDED to be a complete representation of the differences between Franchising and Licensing. Interested parties should consult with a qualified Franchise or Licensing Attorney prior to making any purchase decision.
