Founded in 1983, Express Employment Professionals is a professional staffing and HR services firm for businesses. They help businesses find temporary as well as contract staff.

Two years after opening for business they took the next step into franchising. To date they have approximately 600 franchised offices through out the US, Canada, Australia and South Africa. They were also ranked #1 of all staffing firms in Entrepreneur Magazine’s 2007 Franchise 500, number 69 total on the list.

Their proven business model gives franchisees a chance to take on a staffing strategy that has worked for many others over the years. They also get to benefit from their own protected territory, with many price locations available. Anyone interested in making an impact in their own business community. In an economy where more people are losing their jobs and looking for work, an Express franchise can help businesses and the unemployed alike. A franchisee can feel good knowing they will bring companies hard workers, and employment to the jobless.

So what are they looking for in a potential franchisee? There are 3 general things they like to see:

• Sales or Business Aptitude
• A Minimum of Five Years Proven Leadership, Sales or Sales Management Skills
• A Desire to Make a Difference

If those 3 things sound like you, then it’s just up to you. The initial franchise fee is $35,000 and the total investment can be as high as $166,500. They off a VetFran incentive which gives 25% off the franchise fee to qualifying veterans.
