The Ultimate Professional Franchise!

Imagine earning an excellent above average return on your capital, with minimal marketing, and a work schedule that you control. All accomplished in a business-to-business environment.

Interface offers a unique franchise model in a TRILLION DOLLAR INDUSTRY. Interface teaches franchisees how to be successful because Interface was very successful in the same business for over two decades. We now franchise what we have created and perfected over many years. We are not in competition with our franchisees.

Key advantages include:

• No staff to hire, fire, or manage
• No storefront to own, lease, or maintain
• No Inventory or stock to purchase
• No extensive travel because IFG franchisees do business locally
• Business-to-Business, professional environment with regular business hours of operations
• Flexibility to relocate for part of the year or permanently and continue doing business
