Freedom Boat Club (FBC) is a members-only Boat Club with locations spanning from the Southern tip of Florida up to Grand Haven, Michigan. They've been in business since 1989 and we currently cater to more than 3,750 members. The entire Freedom Boat Club staff shares the common goal of making customers boating experiences as enjoyable and care-free as possible.
Freedom Boat Club operates similarly to a golf club - But instead of reserving a tee time, customers reserve a boat for their day on the water. Freedom Boat Club has a wide variety of boats to choose from. Members call in, select their boat and the day that they'd like to go boating, and when they arrive at Freedom Boat Club, their boat is always ready to go.

Franchising Tips and Facts
Can you own another franchise at the same time? Most likely, you will be restricted from purchasing a franchise from a franchisor that would be a direct competitor to a Freedom Boat Club franchise. However, you may be allowed to purchase a franchise of another type.
According to the Small Business Administration, less than 5% of all franchise units fail each year. This is compared to 30 to 35 percent of small businesses which fail within the first year of operation. However, owning a Freedom Boat Club franchise is not a guaranteed recipe for success. You will still have to commit yourself, your time, and perhaps even make some personal sacrifices in order to succeed.
How much does a Freedom Boat Club Franchise cost? Generally the costs associated with buying a franchise can vary considerable, depending on some of the following factors. Some costs that can affect the bottom line are, real estate, inventory, training, marketing, franchise fees, and development costs. The Freedom Boat Club UFOC should outline these costs, and give you detailed information on how much it will cost you.
Franchising is a way of doing business. It is a method and marketing tool for companies to expand their market share more rapidly and less expensively. Some companies, which are thought to be franchises, are in fact not franchises. All stores are owned and operated by the company itself Some examples of businesses that are not franchises are: Starbucks, Gap, Victoria's Secret.
Although the success rate for franchise-owned business is generally better than the success rate for many independent businesses, there is no franchise formula to guarantee victory. The same may also be said of the profits generated. Often the margins you make are a reflection of your ability to properly run your franchise, however you may be able to get a document from the franchisor that illustrates the typical franchise earnings. If the franchisor does not provide such a document, you should contact a number of franchisees in the market you are interested in and seek their advice on the business' profitability.
