Immigrant Entrepreneur Finds Success with The UPS Store: ‘A Business That Won’t Go Away’

Name: Naresh Bhatt; Country of Origin: India; Immigrated to US: 1993; Franchise Name: The UPS Store; Launched: 2007; Franchises Owned: 8; Estimated Annual Revenue: $4million: Jobs Created: 40

Sometimes the worst thing that happens turns out to be one of the best. After 12 years with his employer, Naresh Bhatt lost his well-paying job during a corporate downsizing, but used the setback to build his own multi-million dollar business which now employs 40 people.

Overview

Naresh Bhatt was a computer science teacher in Mumbai India who also worked with large American corporations such as Proctor and Gamble and Apple. Life was good, but recruiters promised him an even better life in America. So, in 1993, he migrated to the United States with his wife Bansri on H1B visas to work Seattle’s growing tech sector. Then, ten years ago, Bhatt’s career was rudely interrupted by a company-wide downsizing. “Even if you work hard, you can be laid off, through no fault of your own,” says Bhatt. “I had worked there for a long time, so I was very upset and angry at first.”

In fact, the timing couldn’t have been worse. In 2007, the economy was being roiled by the financial crisis. So Bhatt’s job prospects didn’t look good. He consider a real estate career, but it required a great deal of ready cash and the subprime loan scandal had made it risky. Bhatta had some savings and obtained a home equity line of credit through his bank, so he decided to look into franchises.

Joining The UPS Store as a Franchisee

Bhatt explains: “I was sold on franchises because their concepts had already been tested, plus they do marketing for you, and provide support, which is very important because modern business is very complex.” After looking around, he decided to buy two UPS Stores.

Why The UPS Store? “Everyone has urgent situations,” he says. “Checks have to be sent overnight because a payment has been missed, or a deal must be closed. Important items like car keys and mobile phones get lost and need to be replaced, and legal documents also need to be sent quickly and securely.”

The two UPS Stores that Bhatt purchased were located in downtown Seattle. Although other, cheaper locations were available, Bhatt saw advantages in being downtown in the midst of small businesses who needed document and shipping services. In fact one of the stores was near the courthouse, so it did a brisk business handling legal documents for lawyers. Not surprisingly, most of his clients at these two stores came were professionals and small business people.

The UPS Store Investment Costs

Initial Investment: $177,955 – $402,595*
Net Worth Requirement: $150,000
Liquid Cash Requirement: $60,000 – $100,000
Initial Franchise Fee: $29,950
Ongoing Royalty Fee: 5%
Ad Royalty Fee: 2.5%
Marketing Royalty Fee 1%
*range determined by store size, local real estate and build out costs

Expanding His Business Within The UPS Store

Bhatt grew his business, by exploring additional niches. The UPS Store had created concepts to address specific customer needs, such as “special venue” stores situated in hotels and convention centers, and Bhatt leapt at the opportunity. ” I have 3 stores in a special venues, in high-end hotels and convention centers, and we take care of the logistics, the printings for the meetings, the packages, and the palettes full of materials. A lot of goods and freight come in a short amount of time during conventions, and it needs to be handled in a very organized manner.

I would recommend The UPS Store to anybody who wants to help others, and has good customer service skills. The system is very good, it’s robust, it’s a needed service and it’s not going away”

Why UPS Stores Work for Immigrant Entrepreneurs

Bhatt’s background in IT and systems architecture has enabled him to manage these complex operations, and he gives credit to The UPS Store for having different options and opportunities which allows everyone to become successful, no matter where they come from.

“The systems allows you to do what you like the best,” explains Bhatt. “I know somebody who does not like printing, but enjoys freight and all that kind of stuff, and his store does that well. So there are many options. I would recommend The UPS Store to anybody who wants to help others, and has good customer service skills. The UPS Store system is very good, it’s robust, it’s a needed service and it’s not going away.”

Also, there is an abundance of opulence in this country,” says Bhatt. “You’ve got to live in other places to understand what the USA offers: the freedom it offers you if you’re hard working is amazing. It provides you and your family the opportunity to succeed.”

Keys to Success

These days Bhatt spends most of his time managing at the strategic level rather than behind the counter. “I’m not personally doing a lot of the hiring and running the stores on a day-to-day basis, but I do go to my stores every day.” As a certified trainer for The UPS Store, Bhatt is very involved with the training and success of his employees. With 40 employees working in his six locations, and two more under development, Bhatt understands the value of his team, and provides them with excellent benefits.

“I train them, and they can take on more responsibility,” he says, “so they can grow in their career and life. We care for our customers, we care for our brand, we care for our employees, and then everybody cares for me, you know? That’s how I put it.”

CMIT Solutions – Helping Immigrants Tap Into A $668 Billion Opportunity

CMIT Solutions Keeps America’s Small Businesses Running

Immigrant entrepreneurs and the tech industry have done well by each other. Many companies launched by new Americans are globally dominant (think eBay and Google), but there are tens of thousands of others with similar immigrant origins and innovation. Meanwhile, as many reports on Immigrant Business can attest, franchising is rich with immigrant contributions.

So what happens when these two exciting markets come together? It’s a formula for success.

Our Goal is to be recognized as the premier company providing information technology solutions worldwide.

Meet CMIT Solutions, Inc. (for Completely Managed Information Technology), a provider of IT services for small and mid-sized businesses. It offers packages ranging from 24/7 monitoring of networks, servers, workstations and mobile devices to off-site data storage, help desk support and cloud computing. It’s already passed 175 outlets nationwide, and is growing fast.

(IDC) estimates that companies with fewer than 1,000 employees spent $564 billion on IT hardware, software and services in 2016. In 2020, it’ll be $668 billion.

CEO Vision

Running this operation from Austin, Texas, is President & CEO Jeff Connally. He says his role at the top came about almost accidentally, but hearing about his origins makes it clear the success is no accident.

This born-and-bred American is very aware, and very proud, of his immigrant ancestors. His great grandfather came here from Ireland with few skills and fewer resources, put down roots in upstate New York and eventually launched a small businesses. As with many immigrants who came after, that business was in groceries.

“At five, I believed I had a job at Connally Brothers Markets—I swept, did chores—but it was really a daycare arrangement,” he says now. Still, the work ethic set in. Over time he developed the milestone-rich path of many visionaries: learning programming in Vermont, a 26-year career at IBM (focused heavily on the SMB sector) and startups of his own. He’d settled into a comfortable life when he was invited to join the board at CMIT, which he eventually acquired.

Huge Market Growth

It’s a fascinating field with great opportunities. Despite its name, the small biz market is huge: Research firm International Data Corp. (IDC) estimates that companies with fewer than 1,000 employees spent $564 billion on IT hardware, software and services in 2016. In 2020, it’ll be $668 billion.

nothing like a deli, which is nothing like a gym, which is nothing like a fashion boutique, but they’re all small businesses. And while everyone seems like a tech wiz, the need for managed services is greater than ever. The simpler technology is to use, the harder it is behind the scenes—implementation, security, integration and other factors are very complicated. Trends such as mobile, unified communications tools and social media add to the complexity. The problem is even greater in industries that are heavily regulated, such as financial services, healthcare, etc.

“We do our own research, monitor analysts, stay in tune with market,” Mr. Connally noted. “Generally, we find our SMB clients more conservative” than other segments of the market. So CMIT offers knowledgeable partners, powerful tools and policy recommendations that enable SMB owners to keep their focus where it belongs: on the business.

Best of all, CMIT is a national company with a local orientation—and that means franchising. The company doesn’t own outlets but instead counts on entrepreneurs who can do a better job of serving business in their community. Mr. Connally says he tries to spot “a true desire to be an entrepreneur, people fed up with the corporate treadmill.” Only 10% of CMIT franchisees have previous entrepreneurial experience, although about half have a technology background.

Money Needed & Training

Making sure there’s a Match : CMIT conducts extensive due diligence to make sure candidates have the capabilities to succeed before awarding a new franchise.

Intensive Training: CMIT provides three weeks of pre-training (less when there’s direct experience) and two weeks of intensive instruction in Austin, with everything from live simulations to prospect meetings.

Lacroix Ramos: We Help Immigrants

It’s easy to see only two sides in the immigration debate. On one side is the government, writing and rewriting confusing laws. On the other side are immigrants, hardy souls trying to live the American dream. But there’s also a key group in the middle: immigration lawyers, the people who speak for many who are otherwise voiceless. The skill and tenacity of these legal warriors helps decide who stays and who goes.

So what’s it like in their world?

Lacroix Ramos Immigration Lawyers

Meet Miriam D. Lacroix and Stephanie Lynn Ramos, who together make up Lacroix Ramos. This boutique law firm based in Westchester County, New York, provides family- and humanitarian-based legal immigration services to small business owners, victims of intimate partner violence and other serious crimes, migrant children, and LGBT families. They embody the expertise and tenacity needed to succeed in this difficult environment.

“We didn’t go to law school to work for big corporations; we wanted to work where we could change lives and help people,” Ms. Lacroix stresses. “That’s why we specifically went into immigration.” And true to their word, they change lives and help people every day.

“We didn’t go to law school to work for big corporations; we wanted to work where we could change lives and help people,”

Contact Lacroix Ramos today in order to discuss your case and learn your legal options.(914-719-7570)

Immigrant Heritage

Both attorneys connect instantly with their clients’ stories. Ms. Lacroix is the daughter of a Haitian immigrant, and she saw firsthand the challenges that complex immigration laws present to individuals and families. Her background includes positions that featured human rights work, a Bachelor’s degree with high honors in Political Science from Pace University (focusing on civil rights and international human rights), and a law degree from Pace University School of Law, which included a stint with the Immigrant Justice Clinic. She then served as a Justice Fellow in the Immigrant Justice Corps and with the City Bar Justice Center in New York.

If small businesses are the engine of economic growth, then immigrants do their part to turbo-charge the process.

Ms. Ramos, meanwhile, tells of her maternal grandfather, who passed through Ellis Island in the 1920s, and her father, who came to the United States from Puerto Rico in the late 1970s. She was raised in immigrant-rich urban neighborhoods and faced many obstacles before graduating Magna Cum Laude from the University of Connecticut with a Bachelor’s degree in Human Services and a minor in Women’s Studies. She then worked at the Domestic Violence Crisis Center (DVCC) in Stamford, CT, before joining the law school at Pace. As a student attorney in the Immigration Justice Clinic (IJC), she met her future business partner, with whom she co-wrote a paper on discrimination in immigration law before launching their practice.

Over the years, they’ve heard every misconception about immigrants. “There’s the idea that immigrants are lazy, but that they also take American jobs—so which is it?” Ms. Ramos asks. “It’s important to remember that there are no benefits until people get naturalized, and a majority of them take jobs nobody wants.”

The current political climate has many in the immigrant community “upset, sad and fearful,” Ms. Lacroix notes, and some fall prey to scams that promise instant legalization. Meanwhile, the process is so fraught with uncertainty that it’s impossible to tell whether a case will be resolved in a year, or last 10 years. The laws change, the authorities involved change, and simple mistakes can take months to clear up, or even require a restart. “We do the best we can to keep people informed of their rights,” she says, but it’s difficult when so much is out of their hands.” As a result, some families are kept apart for years at a time. Each case is unique, and their roles run the gamut from legal counsel to family confidante.

And far from depending on government benefits—which they really don’t get—many of their clients work multiple jobs. Quite a few even launch ventures of their own. “We encourage many of our clients to start small,” Ms. Ramos emphasizes, since it’s not illegal for undocumented immigrants to work for themselves. As Immigrant Business recently reported: “Though they make up only 13.5 percent of the U.S.. population, immigrant entrepreneurs now account for 27.5 percent of all new entrepreneurs in America.”

This plays out in this firm’s clientele. They include founders of businesses that provide, cleaning services, landscaping, coffee, web development, pastries and a whole lot more. And of course, some of those small business become big—one retail outlet leads to others, one employee leads to many employees, and so on. If small businesses are the engine of economic growth, then immigrants do their part to turbo-charge the process.

The big picture on immigration, with toxic debates and cheap rhetoric, offers one view of this dynamic segment of the population. But a closer look at dedicated firms like Lacroix Ramos reveals a very different image. Here we find adventurous individuals who overcome great obstacles and fuel the economy through hard work and entrepreneurship.

Low-Cost, High-Value Franchise Ideal for Immigrant Entrepreneurs

Traditional cosmetics brand launches its own makeover, combining great products and new marketing approaches to become America’s top cosmetics franchisor

Overview

It all started during the Great Depression, when a registered nurse in Santa Monica California started making skin care solutions for her patients in her kitchen. That nurse was Merle Nethercutt Norman, and the skin care products and cosmetics she developed started a revolution. After Merle Norman Cosmetics began franchising in 1934, women all over the country became business owners by selling Merle Norman products to their friends and neighbors.

Merle Norman was an entrepreneur at heart. She knew that to get people to really appreciate and desire your products, you had to get them to use them first, so she developed the “Try Before You Buy” concept, and also the “Before and After” makeover concept, which are still in use throughout the industry 85 years later.

A Brand in Evolution

Although it is still a family business, Merle Norman Cosmetics is undergoing a revolutionary change. In the last five years, it’s products and business practices have been upgraded to meet the demands of the times under the direction of a dynamic board of directors. “We’re a brand in evolution,” says Travis Richards, a member of the board of directors and Vice President of Franchising for Merle Norman. “We’re evolving everything about the company to bring it current. “

New Investments

Richards says the company has made considerable investments, roughly $30 million for new packaging, new products, new manufacturing equipment, and even new computer systems to streamline operations. Considering that Merle Norman Cosmetics is a $100 million operation, the investment made by the board is significant.

Business Savvy Franchisees

They’re also upgrading their franchisees by raising the bar for new applicants, and it seems to be working. Today there are approximately 1250 Merle Norman Cosmetic Studios in operation, down from a high of 2000 earlier in the company’s history, but this decline is misleading. “Every Merle Norman franchise that opens today, replaces three that have closed because today’s franchisees are more business savvy,” Richards stresses, adding that on average, sales from a brand new studio will replace that of four closed studios. “I’ll take those numbers,” he says. “I’m very excited about that.”

Why You Should Own a Merle Norman Franchise

A Favorable Business Model for New Entrepreneurs

Unlike most franchise operations, Merle Norman Cosmetics does not charge franchise or royalty fees. “The only thing we ask you is that you buy our products and you sell all of our products, and we don’t have competing brands,” says Richards. Another thing unique to Merle Norman is a very generous co-op marketing plan which covers up to 60% of a franchisee’s marketing costs. The company also offers free marketing materials, demonstration samples, and promotes the brand by advertising in women’s magazines.

Financial Requirements

Initial Investment $60,773 – $191,200

Net Worth $100,000 – $150,000

Liquid Cash $40,000 – $50,000

The initial investment for franchisees ranges from a low of $60,000, which includes working capital, construction, furniture, displays, and products, to a high of $116,000 for a larger studio with more stock on hand and higher construction costs. The investment will naturally be larger if the franchisee leases space in an enclosed mall because of construction costs and leasing requirements.

Beauty is universal. If you lived in India and learned how to do makeup, or skin care techniques, these skills are applicable anywhere you might move to

Store Within a Store Concept

The low initial investment is due, in part, to Merle Norman’s store-within-a-store concept, which allows owners of existing businesses, such as a nail or beauty salon, to operate a Merle Norman boutique in a separate, branded area of the store. Richards calls store-within-a-store “one of our biggest growth opportunities.”

Immigrant Friendly Brand

A Merle Norman Cosmetics franchise is a good fit for immigrants wanting to get started or move up the ladder in the American economy. Merle Norman is a welcoming environment that celebrates the energy and drive of immigrants. “For an immigrant coming into the United States, that wants to strike out and have their own business, the empowerment and the confidence that they’ll have in the beauty industry is second to none,” says Travis Richards.

Furthermore, the costs are reasonable, the products are high quality, and the skills required are universal. As Richards says, “Beauty is universal. If you lived in India and learned how to do makeup, or skin care techniques, these skills are applicable anywhere you might move to.”

Also, Merle Norman Cosmetics provides thorough training for its franchisees, both before and after they open their studios.

The Future

With the investments and product updates Merle Norman Cosmetics has made, the future looks very bright, but there’s still more to come. They’re working on additional programs that will speak to the ambition of the new wave of franchisees that are joining the organization. Soon they’ll be coming out with a spa program, a day spa that will build upon their new product offerings, and offer franchisees the option of building larger free-standing Merle Norman Cosmetic Studios to enhance the beauty experience for their loyal customers.

Opportunities With T-Mobile’s Biggest Distributor

Hardwired for Success: The Ameritel Story

20 years ago it was one store selling pagers; today, T-Mobile’s biggest distributor has 3,500-plus outlets offering wireless services

These are hard times for the retail industry. Many famous chains are already gone, and it gets worse every day. Teen favorite Rue21 just filed for bankruptcy, Michael Kors is closing over 100 stores, and many venerable brands we all recognize may be running out of time.

Somebody forgot to tell Nathan Yanovitch.

Thanks to a gift for sales and an eye for opportunity, this immigrant entrepreneur has propelled his creation, Ameritel, into a retail powerhouse. In fact, every aspiring retailer looking to become a wireless provider may want to talk to his company.

Ameritel is the biggest distributor for T-Mobile and many prepaid and post-paid wireless services, including MetroPCS and Ultra Mobile.

Ameritel’s Business Model

#106 National telecom carriers like T-Mobile typically don’t retail directly to consumers; instead, they license distributors to operate their retail operations. As a result, anyone who wants to open a store that sells wireless products must form a partnership with one of these companies. Ameritel is the biggest distributor for T-Mobile and many prepaid and post-paid wireless services, including MetroPCS and Ultra Mobile.

Actually, the company started 20 years ago as a single store selling beepers and pagers. Today, it has 3,500-plus dealer partners nationwide—the company invests heavily in each partner—and by the end of June it will have a combined retail footprint of:

155 corporate T-Mobile stores
125 MetroPCS Exclusive stores.

In this tough retail climate, Ameritel will have opened 145-plus new retail locations between January 1 and June 30 of this year alone.

Nathan Yanovitch’s Story

M Ameritel r. Yanovitch’s own story is just as interesting. He was born and lived in Israel until his father determined that the family’s future belonged in America. So the future business star was whisked out of school one day and brought to Queens, New York. This was back in the ’70s, and as with many new immigrants, it was tough—his father, who spoke little English, worked as a building supervisor while his mother cleaned houses.

Young Nathan worked a series of odd jobs in lieu of high school, and eventually became a baker. Oddly, that led him to a job in Helsinki, Finland—just down the road from Nokia, then the giant of the wireless industry. (Years later, as a telecom leader, he would visit those very same facilities.) Then, early in the ’90s, the pastry chef opted for a more lucrative job with a telecom outlet that paid only commissions—which worked out fine.

Ameritel has 3,500-plus dealer partners nationwide

T-Mobile – A Growing Industry Leader

“I found I had a talent for sales,” Mr. Yanovitch says in a definite understatement. Before long he was able to put together funding for that first store, and hasn’t looked back since.

“Our dealers come from Pakistan, India, China, Taiwan, Korea, the Middle East—all over the world”

This dynamic entrepreneur didn’t get where he is by having false illusions. “Companies like Amazon have changed the American retail landscape forever,” he acknowledges. “That’s why you need to align yourself with the right brand, and T-Mobile is that brand.” Indeed, the telecom giant is on its own rapid trajectory: It added 1.1 million customers in Q1 2017, the 16th straight quarter with 1 million-plus net customer additions.

“You need to align yourself with the right brand, and T-Mobile is that brand.”

Of course, there’s more to it. “You have to be agile, you have to always improve the quality of delivery, and you have to create a great customer experience,” Mr. Yanovitch says. He notes that wireless stores have been a savior to malls—they draw foot traffic that helps other outlets. And many of his partners are immigrants too. “Our dealers come from Pakistan, India, China, Taiwan, Korea, the Middle East—all over the world,” he adds.

T-Mobile is on its own rapid trajectory: It added 1.1 million customers in Q1 2017, the 16th straight quarter with 1 million-plus net customer additions.

Retail has always had great appeal in immigrant communities, and many dealers join Ameritel after gaining experience in related markets, like convenience stores. In this context Ameritel makes for an ideal partner. Its long list of contributions includes:

Real estate assistance (location search, negotiations, help with the lease, and even deposits)
New hire training
Ongoing business development training over 20 days a month
Recruitment assistance
In conjunction with T-Mobile, new-store-opening ads and marketing support of up to $45,000 a month.

Money Needed

In fact, Ameritel invests around $125,000 overall in each location—the gold standard for this industry. Meanwhile, each new dealer puts in approximately $100,000: half for the store buildout, and half for working capital. Stores are typically up and running in one to three months, and become cash-flow positive after six months. Many reach profitability in a year.

The Right Brand For Every Market

Ameritel doesn’t have just one offering. From T-Mobile Exclusive to the pre-paid options of MetroPCS Exclusive, the company helps new dealers match the programs to the market and the dealer’s own skill sets. The nature of ownership in each store may vary, but the customer will never know—all operations are fully integrated with corporate, and the uniform and excellent service are always the same.

Multiple Revenue Channels

Ameritel Dealers generate revenue through multiple sales channels:

Activation commission
Residuals
Upgrades
Accessory Sales
Bill payments

There’s now an Ameritel outlet within 10 miles of 230 million Americans, and the number keeps rising. It’s easy to be concerned about the future of retail, but Ameritel’s network offers great hope.

Reasons to Open an Exclusive Ameritel T-Mobile Store

Ameritel’s exclusive dealers are constantly in the Top 10 on the Nationwide ranking among all other T-Mobile TPR stores. Ameritel offers:
• Over 20 years of wireless experience as a wireless master agent
• Dedicated field reps supporting Ameritel’s dealers

• Consignment inventory benefits over $70,000 inventory at NO cost to Ameritel’s dealers.
