Posted on by


Philadelphia, Pa (PRWEB) September 08, 2011

Founded in 1994, Wingstop is quickly emerging as a leading wing franchise. With 467 locations at the end of 2010, Wingstop is growing very rapidly. The investment required to build out a franchise is around $ 400k, but average store sales are quite healthy (~$ 750,000). This concept is ripe for further growth.

“We find comfort in that the concept has simple operations, a tasty product and is scalable. After speaking to many franchisees, we get the impression that franchisees are happy and looking to open more locations, which is always a good sign,” says Small Bizeo Founder Kal Gullapalli.

“I have opened 3 franchises in the last 3 years and plan to open more. The support system here is very strong,” says one franchisee who wishes to remain anonymous.

The average store size is around 1,500 square feet. Small box stores decrease the amount of inherent risk in a franchise investment.

Overall, this franchise is top notch based on many data points. Wingstop is a leader in its sector and has the right team to continue growing the concept. The owners of Wingtop, Roark Capital, also own other franchises such as Moe’s Southwest Grill, Cinnabon, Carvel and now Arby’s.

The above rating was created by Small Bizeo, a objective franchise research firm. Small Bizeo, led by Kal Gullapalli, prepares detailed industry and company level research for prospective franchise buyers via their Get Smart platform.

These social media marketing classes have been designed to master the in’s and out’s of social media as part of your larger Internet sales and marketing strategy”.

6Scan Expands Website Security Service for Small Businesses

Posted on by
Reply

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) January 15, 2013

6Scan, a leader in website security for small businesses, today announced an automatic website vulnerability repair and malware removal service for small businesses. The release builds on the companys highly regarded vulnerability scan and fix product for websites using the WordPress Content Management System. The new service will support all websites that run on Apache servers.

We are seeing almost non-stop attacks on the websites we protect, states Yaron Tal, 6Scan co-founder and CTO. On average, more than 7% of all requests we see to websites are active attempts to breach the website via security vulnerability.

These attacks are extremely costly, particularly for those small businesses expanding their online presence and investing in web marketing and SEO. Along with potentially infecting site visitors and exposing proprietary data, a hacked website damages a companys reputation and search engine rankings.

As Roger Thompson, Chief Emerging Threat Researcher at ICSA Labs wrote in a recent blog post, New vulnerabilities and exploits happen all the timeIn fact, the 2012 Verizon Data Breach Report highlights that the majority of the 855 data breaches analyzed were perpetrated against smaller firms. This is probably simply because they dont have the staff to properly and systematically update packages.

The new service continues 6Scans commitment to ease of use and effectiveness. The companys Dual Scan technology performs free real-time scans for vulnerabilities and malware infections. The Auto-Fix function will then automatically repair problems, unlike other solutions requiring manual intervention or service engagements. 6Scans service creates a clean website that is hardened against further attacks. The 6Scan service is available in three tiers: Basic ($ 9.99/month), Professional ($ 29.99/month) and Enterprise ($ 49.99/month). For all websites, the scanning service is free. A complete feature list is available on the 6Scan website.

“Hacking into websites has become the primary attack point for distributing malware, and small businesses are particularly at risk, explains 6Scan CEO Chris Weltzien. The vast majority of website security solutions are costly and complex they are not built for the small business. 6Scan is now the only company delivering a free scan as well as automatic fix services that are easy to use and priced for the market.

About 6Scan

6Scan is the worlds first website protection suite to offer automatic detection and fixing of security vulnerabilities. 6Scans technology combines both active and passive protection, providing levels of security previously unavailable to all but the most high-end (and high-budget) sites. The product is easy-to-use and designed for website owners with no technical or security knowledge, and its pricing is affordable even for small websites. For more information, please visit http://www.6Scan.com or email info(at)6scan(dot)com.

The Business Finance Store Discusses Non-disclosure Agreements for Small Businesses Given Herman Cains Issues

Posted on by


Santa Ana, CA (PRWEB) November 10, 2011

Presidential hopeful Herman Cain, who according to MSNBC was accused of sexual harassment during the time he spent as head of the National Restaurant Association, vehemently denies the allegations. Regardless of whether or not there is any truth to the accusations, it may not matter because the women involved signed non-disclosure agreements. This might keep people guessing about the truth behind the allegations, but might be something to think about for small business owners. In a recent blog post “Are Non-Disclosure Agreements Useful or a Big Waste of Time?,” the Business Finance Store discusses some strategies for small businesses to use non-disclosure agreements.

Non-disclosure agreements can benefit small business owners and entrepreneurs by allowing them to share important, confidential information with a third party, such as independent contractors, franchisees and investors. However, non-disclosure agreements can sometimes backfire. It is best to be aware of the potential advantage and disadvantages.

Pug Servers Launches Sub-$1000 Server for Small Businesses

Posted on by


(PRWEB) January 26, 2005

Highly configurable hardware and “appliance-like” software paired with a sub-$ 1000 price tag makes Pug Servers a winner in the small business server market.

HereÂ’s what it does: The Pug plugs directly into your network just like another PC. Point your web browser at its easy-to-use web interface and you can control your newly installed server just like a system admin without the special training. Once up and running you can let all users on your network share their files safely and easily. You can even let telecommuting workers access the Pug from any computer on the Internet. Worried about a broken hard drive? The Pug uses RAID technology to keep two copies of your data at any time. Need to keep a spare backup off-site? Plug in a USB hard drive and you have a portable copy of your data that you can store in a safe place.

What makes the Pug unique? Unlike other appliance solutions you arenÂ’t stuck with low-powered, proprietary hardware. “Pugs are like the Mercedes Benz of small business servers. It’s well built, highly reliable and yet you can tailor it to fit your needs. If you want faster hard drives, add Serial ATA. For more space, choose RAID 5. You tell us what you need and weÂ’ll ensure the hardware and software work in harmony without the custom price tag,” says Steve Martin, CEO of Pug Servers.

Some users ask how Pug Servers keeps the price so low. The answer is simple. Most custom solutions rely on companies such as Microsoft for their software. We use free, open source components, built by engineers from Sun, IBM, and others around the world. We focus on making these technologies easy-to-use and couple it with reliable, name-brand hardware. The result is high-quality software without the Microsoft “tax”.

The Pug is compatible with Microsoft, Mac OS X, and Linux PCÂ’s. Some feature upgrades include larger hard drives, RAID 5, removable drive-bays, more RAM, and faster processors. The Pug is ideal for small businesses with two or more networked computers who want to improve and secure data storage and information flow in their organization.

Pug Servers is a small company founded by MIT alumni who want to make technology easier for everyone. Inspired by the simplicity of the Linksys 10/100 SOHO router they set out to build a RAID appliance that is as easy to use as a toaster. Thus was born: The Pug.

The newest Pug Server is available now online at http://www.pugservers.com. For more information, or to purchase a Pug, visit http://www.pugservers.com or email info@pugservers.com.

Google and SEO Tips, Explained for Small Businesses

Getting to the top of Google is a key marketing objective for most businesses and marketers, yet many businesses are mystified at how to influence Google’s interpretation of their websites. SEO or Search Engine Optimization is the art and science of influencing Google to show one’s website at the top of relevant searches. The process starts with keyword research, proceeds through ‘on page’ SEO by inserting keywords strategically into the proper placements as well as structuring website for good SEO, then concludes with building inbound links and social mentions.

While the JM Internet Group trains online, many small business students have come from Pennsylvania, especially the cities of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. In those areas the choices for effective SEO courses are few and far between vs. in larger cities like New York or San Francisco. Therefore, having online SEO training opportunities for small businesses in Pennsylvania is an excellent opportunity to blend the real and online worlds for SEO training.

Google is financially motivated to explain AdWords, but not to explain SEO. So businesses turn to organizations like the JM Internet Group to learn the tips, secrets, and techniques to get free PR on Google rather than paying for AdWords.

About JM Internet Group

The JM Internet Group provides SEO, Social Media Marketing, and Google AdWords training and courses for busy marketers and businesspeople. Online search engine optimization training helps explain keywords, page tags, link building strategies and other techniques needed to climb to the top of search engine rankings for Google, Yahoo, and Bing.
