Expense Reduction Analysts (ERA) is a popular business ownership opportunity among white-collar business executives wanting to be their own boss, work from home, control their schedule, have an optimal work/life balance, and make unlimited residual income working with a global cost management consultancy.
With 650+ franchisees in over 25+ countries, ERA has saved nearly $1 billion for their clients over their last 24 years in franchising.
ERA is absolutely about their franchisee’s success. They work very closely with them to not only provide a fun, encouraging and positive atmosphere but to ensure that they have everything they need to achieve their goals.
This atmosphere spreads throughout everyone in the organization because ERA adheres to its core values very seriously and fosters a close-knit and works hard to foster a collaborative culture within the organization.
Expense Reduction Analysts is a 2016 World Class Franchise
The proof of their commitment to their franchisees can be seen in their esteemed designation as a World Class Franchise from the Franchise Research Institute in 2016. This designation is only awarded to less than 2% of all franchises and indicates that a significant amount of their franchisees are happy with the system and doing well.
Red Boswell from ERA North America tells FBA that their Ideal Candidate is a white collar executive who is comfortable speaking with other c-level executives. They are typically ambitious, coachable, and patient. However, because of the flexibility of our model they do not have to be analytical or have in-depth sales or accounting experience.
“Franchisees can choose their focus when they join ERA. They can focus either Business Development to grow their business faster or dive into the analytics side to find the money for their clients. Or they can even do both.”
“Territories for ERA are wide-open across North America, Canada, and Mexico. ERA is not a brick and mortar franchise, hold no inventory and have a low-cost of entry between $66,000 to $85,000.”
“We are very proud of our financial earnings statement (Item 19 of the FDD). No one plans on being anything less than the top 25% of anything. The top 25% of ERA franchisees are earning up around $199k to $252k.”
Every organization wants to reduce their costs and everyone benefits from the services offered by ERA. If you are business savvy and a self-motivated executive with great communication skills, ERA is the franchise for you.
