What is a Advatek Franchise?

Why Investing in a Top-Rated IT Franchise is a Wise Choice

When you’re in the IT business, staying ahead of the curve is of the utmost importance. Advatek, one of the leading IT franchises in the nation, has been a vanguard of the industry since our founding in 2004 because of our focus on a comprehensive, solutions-based approach to IT services for small- and medium-sized businesses.

More than Fixing what’s Broken

Before managed IT services became the norm, the industry was overrun by a break-fix model, meaning IT companies were only called when something was broken. However, in the age of cyberattacks, and the rise in popularity of e-commerce coinciding with a commitment to data privacy, businesses cannot wait until something goes wrong — because if it does, the results can be devastating.

Managed IT services is where Advatek excels. Advatek was created to make technology solutions easier for businesses. Our franchises offer fast responses to IT challenges, but more importantly, our franchise owners act as an IT advisor to customers, monitoring  vital IT systems to prevent problems and eliminate downtime. Franchise owners also analyze businesses to recommend specific technology solutions that can help clients grow. Advatek is not just the brand business owners call when something breaks, we are business partners who provide guidance and access to new technologies that can help make clients more efficient, more secure, and ultimately more profitable.

There are plenty of businesses that need our help. According to Oberlo, there are more than 33 million small businesses in the United States. This means that in every market, from large cities to suburban areas, there is ample opportunity to provide a meaningful service that will help keep your local businesses healthy and your local economy strong.

Advatek Hits a Sweet Spot in the Market

According to GoRemotely, the United States is the largest tech market in the world, approximately worth $1.6 trillion. Unsurprisingly, out of the $1.6 trillion, the biggest spend is on IT, which accounts for 33%.

While managed IT services was once a niche segment of the larger IT Services industry, it is now something most companies wouldn’t go without. According to a report published by Grand View Research, global managed IT services are expected to reach $731.08 billion by 2030. The firm reports that small- and medium-sized businesses are creating much of the projected growth.

“Managed services help reduce recurring IT expenditures by ensuring an organization’s infrastructure is running at optimal efficiency at all times, while also automating business operations. This subsequently allows organizations to effectively achieve their business objectives, especially pertaining to strengthening the bottom line and increasing profitability.”

Providing IT Services to People in Need

This is exactly what Advatek franchise owners help their clients with everyday. As their managed IT services provider, we not only keep their networks running smoothly, we also provide valuable assistance with data security, transitioning to the cloud, consultation on what software to buy, and more, in order to deliver a customer-focused experience that allows our clients to focus on growing their businesses. And because managed IT services contracts are long-term, this creates the opportunity for a lucrative, recurring revenue stream. It’s a win-win.

“Our sweet spot, and where we do well, is in working with the companies that have outgrown their local IT service provider, but are still too small to work with an enterprise IT company,” says Dan Shapero, President of Advatek. “In reality, every small business in the U.S. needs us to some degree. Business owners have never been more sensitive to their dependence on technology; IT drives productivity and, ultimately, profitability. We tend to talk very little about technology with our clients and a lot about business. What happens when their technology fails? How much will business be affected? We help our clients leverage technology to run their businesses better and more profitably—this is a services business, where superb customer service matters.”

You Don’t Need IT Experience to Own a Advatek Franchise

In a business so tech-oriented, you might think you need to be a hyper-proficient IT professional to be successful with Advatek . While a large percentage of our franchise owners do have significant IT experience, many of our franchisees did not have any before franchising with us. Ultimately, this is a business model that requires more interpersonal and sales skills than a background in IT. If you have the entrepreneurial spirit we’re looking for, we can train you on the technology. We want to be sure that you have a passion for business growth, helping your community, and are driven to run your business like a true CEO.

Trained on Every Aspect of the Business

New franchisees are supported from the moment they sign the franchise agreement, starting with Advatek University, a six-day, intensive training session on virtually every aspect of your new business held at our corporate headquarters in Southern California.

“We are very hands-on with new franchisees,” says Patrick Spaan, Director of Franchise Development. “All Advatek owners are required to write a business plan annually, and we teach our franchisees how to manage their businesses by looking at their financial statements, rather than using their checkbooks as a metric of how well their business is doing. We do one-on-one coaching sessions and also host group sessions. And, members of our executive team routinely make trips into the field to support our franchisees in their businesses. From a franchisee perspective, the expertise of our operational staff, training staff, product technology staff, sales staff and our marketing staff is only a phone call away. We’re accessible, but more importantly, we’re accountable.”
