Franchise

  Why should I seek franchisee ship of Taurus Infotek?
  Taurus Infotek offers the most comprehensive immigration consulting, legal, and settlement services to help our clients through the immigration process. We have developed and maintained an excellent reputation for providing top quality representation and we pride ourselves on our accomplishments. We have developed a strong team of skilled professionals and affiliate offices that provide expert services to our domestic and international clients and we feel the time is right to expand into new markets. We wish to make Taurus Infotek widely accessible to people from a diversity of geographic locations and cultural backgrounds. In our efforts to be an international firm, we are seeking associates and representatives throughout the country and the world to help our business grow. In particular, we are looking at representatives to promote and provide immigration and related services
   
  What kind of a franchise representative are you looking for?
  As the global village becomes a reality, we hope to continue building productive business relationships with intelligent, honest, ambitious and professional individuals in all major cities around the world. At Taurus Infotek, we are looking for a specific type of representative who is highly motivated and resourceful. We also need this representative to have enough capital to cover his expenses during the initial start-up phase. We need a partner who can provide his own office, staff and pay for a reasonable advertising campaign. This representative office will be duly authorized by Taurus Infotek and will receive an authorized license to represent us. What we really need is a representative that can find us qualified clients and help correspond with them.
   
 

What can you offer me?

 

At Taurus Infotek, we are not only recognized consultants in Immigration, but also acknowledged leaders in our ability to market and promote these services successfully. We guarantee the following to all our Franchises and their clients throughout the world:

  • Immigration services under one roof
  • Excellent Training and Support
  • Expert Legal Services
  • Affordable and Flexible Fees
  • Unique Job Search Services
   
  Excellent Training and Support
  We make available to our representatives all necessary materials and training and provide the appropriate legal services. We put at their disposal the latest and most advanced software systems, such as our computerized ON LINE IMMIGRATION ASSESSMENT and IELTS LANGUAGE ASSESSMENT TESTS, both developed in-house and available to our representatives, clients and ourselves. We provide them with extensive training, manuals and support. We guide our representatives in all aspects including developing a marketing strategy, setting up operations and designing the advertisements. We process all their cases and advise their clients on all legal matters.
   
  Expert Legal Services
  When you become a Taurus Infotek franchisee, your clients will be represented by one of India ’s reputed immigration consultants, with a network of offices. Our immigration services are comprehensive and we offer a much broader range of services to help clients successfully immigrate to and integrate abroad. We handle a wide variety of immigrant and non-immigrant visas such as permanent visas, work permits, student and visitor visas. Our highly experienced and committed team collaborates to prepare and follow-up each case
   
  Affordable and Flexible Fees
  At Taurus Infotek, we don’t just provide our clients with comprehensive instruction manuals. Neither do we provide them with only a professionally prepared immigration package. Neither with only exclusive immigration information. But Taurus Infotek pays due consideration to the individual needs of its clients when determining legal fees. We offer a flexible payment plan. Clients pay a small portion of the total legal fee up-front, and in return they get full commitment from us. Taurus Infotek is able to offer extensive services, research, videos, manuals, brochures and frequent updates because we are an established firm, and we have the resources to make successes of our clients' cases
   
  Unique Job Search Services
  Other services we provide will help our clients prepare for their move abroad, and help them get established once they arrive here. If they are interested in working temporarily or before they apply for permanent residence, we can help them get a work permit and job offer. Through an exhaustive database of employment opportunities in Canada , Australia and New Zealand , which we have compiled over time, we assist our clients to find progressive positions even before immigrating. Finding a job before immigrating is indeed a rather difficult proposition for an individual living in a country different from that of his prospective employer. But we are proud to say that our clients have been placed in sectors as varied as IT, Medicine, Engineering and Teaching, through our diligent efforts
   
 

POST LANDING HELP

   
  In how much time can you assure me that my investment will be recovered?
  Normally, you should be able to recover your investment within a year’s time, provided you have taken all the four franchisees together, namely, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and IELTS. By taking all the franchisees of all 3 countries, we can offer a range of choices to the client depending upon their skill sets and personal contacts.
   
  How does the Commissioning system work?
  Your job is to convince the client about the Immigration process. Nowadays, every other person is keen on migrating. So convincing a client is not a very big problem. Canada, for example, allowed about 225,000 people to immigrate in 2000 and increased this target for 2001 to 300,000 people. Canada is committed to its national policy of multiculturalism and will continue to live up to its heritage of cultural diversity.
  Apart from the growing immigration needs, our fee structure is very competitive and we maintain a very high level of client service. Depending upon your performance, you may get up to 25% of commission. Considering a very moderate projection of 5 clients per month, per country, you will be dealing with 5x3x12=180 clients in a year’s time. Our experience shows that you will be getting a similar number of clients for IELTS coaching. The benefit implication to you is explained in the following 2 scenarios.
   
  Best Scenario
 

Assumption 1- You get average 5 clients per month in a year’s period

 

Assumption 2- You realize the first 2 installments of the consulting fees per client, in a years period.

 

Assumption 3- You cater to 180 clients for IELTS in a year’s time.

 

Assumption 4- As you will be sourcing 5 clients per month, your average commission will be calculated as (10+15+20+22+25=18.4%)

  Will I be required to pay tax on my commission?
  It depends upon your total taxable income for that particular year

  Why is the visa processing govt. fees Rs 56,250/- for Australia and only Rs.19, 000/- for Canada?
  Visa processing fee depends upon that particular government’s immigration department

IELTS

  How much is the fee for only the IELTS franchise?
  Rs. 21000/- is the fee for the IELTS franchise but our experience shows that it will be much more lucrative if combined with the immigration franchise

  Yes you can
   
  Is the percentage of commission calculated on the installment or the entire fees?
  You get the percentage of commission for every payment we receive. Supposing we receive a payment of Rs. 11000/- from a client and the commission due to you is 25%, then you get Rs.2750/-
   
 

What is my role in this scheme of things?

  This can be a very lucrative business if properly handled, but it does not happen instantly. It requires real commitment. We need trustworthy and diligent representatives and we hope you can help us. In turn, we expect from you to undertake a market research of your intended area of operations, particularly regarding your competition and your various advertising options; we also expect you to prepare an advertising plan, finance and implement it and provide us with appropriate supporting evidence. We expect you to have a presentable office to meet your clients, full-time professional staff, fluent in English and in the regional language and all office equipment required of a 21st Century dynamic business operation.
