Former Cops Finding Opportunities In Retirement with ACFN ATM Franchise

April 9, 2010 - PRLog -- As a result of a steep rise in interest in law enforcement two to three decades ago, retired police of all ranks are becoming a sizeable sect of the population. But as any retiree will tell you, life as a civilian can become very boring, very quickly.

To battle this brand of retiree restlessness many find another type of employment once they’ve laid down their shields. Some retirees often move into security fields or armed guard positions, while others who might have had a specialty before the department, elect to start home businesses in areas such as tax preparation, or even realty.

Police officers are bred to be highly morally responsible and possess reflexes geared toward both saving lives and diffusing dangerous situations. Because of this specialized training in safety measures, a Silicon Valley company named ACFN (American Consumer Financial Network) became interested in bringing a few retirees into their ranks as franchise business owners.

ACFN offers their buyers the chance to start their own easy to run ATM franchise. By purchasing one machine, a franchisee is additionally purchasing a guided training seminar detailing how to run, and service their new ATM.

After the crash course, ACFN’s researchers find locations in the franchisees area and deal with all the legal nuts and bolts with the vendor. The franchisee has to simply visit the location to service the machine as needed.

Some franchisees consider the help and umbrella ACFN offers to be a safety net, and actually prefer to be considered ACFN representatives as opposed to independents.

ACFN has built a strong foothold of veterans amongst its franchisees. Over 14% of ACFN ATM owners are veterans of some variation of armed forces.

The real question is how ACFN would be beneficial for a retired policeman.

ACFN Founder and President Jeff Kerr believes the answer to that question is training. “Policemen have a specific skill set that makes them invaluable to this franchise. We provide all the training franchise owners need to own and operate ATMs, and after a life of training in a rigorous selection of codes of conduct, policemen will definitely implement our training in their business effectively" says Kerr

Other advantages of ACFN include low time commitment requirements, high rates of return, and handling non-perishable goods. So if you find yourself recently retired or approaching that stage and would like supplementary income that can barely be classified as a part time commitment, then ACFN should make your short list of organizations. Check out the video below for a few testimonials from happy franchisees.

Franchise Fee's are reasonably priced and start at $25,000

The company also provides a comprehensive  training program at their headquarters in San Jose, California and the best ongoing customer service that can only be described as second to none.
