In 1993 I decided to make a career change.  I was tired of the politics that had to be played in the corporate world.  I had always wanted to own my own business. I went to a franchise show, met with the people from Minuteman Press, did my research and felt it would be a good choice for what I was looking for.  What I was looking for was a business that would allow me to afford the quality of life I had in my previous career as well as a business that would allow me to send my two daughters to college.   Now 17 years later both daughters have graduated from college with the oldest joining the company as part of the team and part of  our exit strategy.

Minuteman was there when we began holding our hands step by step.  When we were able to walk on our own we did so still knowing they were only a phone call away with any advice or guidance we needed.  It is nice to be able to pass on the business to our family and know Minuteman is still there to help the next generation continue the success we have achieved.

As an ambitious 25 year old, I had worked for the same employer since I graduated from high school, a little over 8 years. I  learned a lot from that job but knew I always wanted to be my own boss, own my own business, be in charge of my own destiny, well that time came in June of 1988 when I became the owner of my own Minuteman Press franchise.We looked at all the printing franchises out there at the time and settled on Minuteman Press because of their reputation, support mechanism, equipment package and outstanding business model. Now that I am a seasoned 23 year Minuteman Press business owner, it doesn't surprise me that they are the #1 Printing Franchise in the World rated by Entrepreneur Magazine.Owning my own business was everything I imagined it would be and more thanks to Minuteman Press International.

I opened my doors for business here December 1, 2008.  I’ve grown as of 9/09 to serving nearly 100 families here in Hunterdon County.  My level of satisfaction with CHYTEN Franchising is 100% favorable.
In terms of fees for services promised, CHYTEN folks have exceeded my expectations.
 
CHYTEN people have strong opinions, but they listen, too.  As for steady, dependable, professional advice, CHYTEN folks in both the franchising and the education halves of the operation have proven themselves  available quite literally any hour of the day – or evening or weekend.

I began researching franchise opportunities in early 2008.  After a couple of months and numerous dead ends, I had pretty well decided what I needed and expected from a franchisor.  From the first conversation as a potential Chyten franchisee in March of 2008, to the ongoing support I get today as an operator, the team at Chyten/Ultra Franchising has exceeded my expectations.

With a background in corporate finance, I believe the analysis and diligence I did into the Chyten system was pretty thorough.  Never did I feel that questions were discouraged or not being honestly answered.

Through this diligence process, training, site location and development, to opening and running the business, the Chyten/Ultra folks have been very supportive.  The Chyten team understands the business extremely well, yet are open minded and flexible with respect to our individual markets.  The professionalism of all involved is unwavering.

I clearly would not have entered the business if I expected any less, and despite a difficult economy, am pleased to say that I would make the same decision today.  Financially, I am tracking close to mid’08 expectations, probably an accomplishment in the current environment.  The momentum continues to build as word of mouth increases and our brand gets established.  Given the satisfaction of helping kids reach their goals and relieving some of the stress parents and students feel, emotionally the Chyten experience has exceeded expectations.  Perhaps most important, I am confident the best is yet to come.  A few testimonials from parents that may be of some interest are attached.
