here’s really no question about it. Of all the opportunities available today, the financial services industry—from banks and brokerages to insurance and finance companies—has to be one of the hottest. The sustained boom times of the Nineties have resulted in record earnings for Americans—and record spending levels, as well. But savings rates have actually been very low…and, with spending up and savings down, the inevitable cooling of the economy means more and more wage earners will occasionally need short-term funds to get them through to payday. So, in addition to their continuing fascination with investment opportunities, consumers are increasingly looking for new cash-management options to help with their dayto-day financial needs.

Small Loans Can Be Big Business.
T
he payday loan industry didn’t even exist a decade ago, and its growth over the past five years has been nothing short of phenomenal. Investment banking
analysts have charted that growth—from a few hundred outlets in the mid-Nineties to about 10,000 nationwide in 2000—and are forecasting a potential of 25,000 outlets by 2002. And even those figures are dwarfed by the analysts’ loan volume projection— 180 million transactions annually in 2002, with an aggregate loan value of $45 billion, producing about $6.75 billion in fees nationwide. Why is this industry growing so dramatically? Because it’s meeting pent-up consumer needs. Specifically, we’re offering an alternative form of credit to consumers who can’t, for a variety of reasons, turn to the conventional banking system.

Who Uses Payday Loans? The Answer May Surprise You.
T
he United States Census Bureau has identified more than 100 million households in the nation. In about 30 percent of them, the total household income
is between $25,000 and $50,000 a year. There may be one wage earner in the household, or there may be two. And they typically pay their rent, utilities and other bills on time. But many of them have occasional trouble meeting their financial obligations. They may be just a little late in paying a bill or two, and it may happen just once or twice a year. Financial analysts have established that many Americans have difficulty managing their personal finances—about 30 percent of consumers with incomes under $45,000 a year…and, perhaps surprisingly, more than 20 percent of those with incomes between $45,000 and $65,000 a year. These are people who’ll be your potential customers. As a Money Market Payday Express franchisee, you’ll be providing a service that your own friends and neighbors may occasionally need. You’ll be dealing with people who are very much like yourself—people with jobs and checking accounts and stable homes, people who are the working backbone of your community. They may not have investment portfolios. They may not even have the kind of bank balances they need to handle unexpected expenses, and their credit cards may be at their limits. But the fact is, the typical payday loan customer has a full-time job that pays between $25,000 and $35,000 a year…and a sizable percentage of them make more than $40,000 a year. They’re solid working people who just occasionally need to borrow a small amount of money for a short period of time. And they just can’t do that at a bank, where unsecured loans are rarely made for less than several thousand dollars.

The Money Market Payday Express Advantage.
T
he Money Market Payday Express concept is designed to be win-win for all involved. Your customers win because they’re able to get through their temporary problem—without bouncing a check, paying a late fee, or damaging their credit rating. With both banks and merchants charging penalties when a check is returned for insufficient funds, the cost of a single bounced check can easily add up to more than $40 or even $50. Late fees and additional interest on bankcard debt or a mortgage loan can be just as expensive—or even more. And a poor credit rating can cause problems in a broad range of areas, since it’s not just creditors who have access to the reports. As a Money Market Payday Express franchisee, you win too. By providing the quick, convenient and confidential service they need with the excellent customer service they deserve, both new and established customers will know they can turn to you when they need it most. And the community wins, as well, because you’re providing an alternative source of credit for many of its productive citizens—helping them get their car repaired, for example, so they have a way to get to work…or helping them pay the bill for safe, secure daycare for their children.
