Young Entrepreneur Enjoys Head Start and a Profitable Business.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Young entrepreneur Ryan P. stumbles upon American Consumer Financial Network, allowing him to start his own business before the age of 30.

Starting a business is usually a dream many entrepreneurs achieve later in life. Most start their journey as members of the workforce, pinching pennies wherever possible to build a nest egg large enough to comfortably transition into being their own boss. But one young entrepreneur has decided to save his golden years for the golf course.

Ryan P. is a young Hudson Valley, NY, resident who always knew he wanted to start his own business. After spending a few of his post college years in the world of professional poker, Ryan decided it was time to find a more reliable plan for his future. He knew he only had one shot at success and was determined to ensure that he was well informed before taking his leap. Nevertheless, after months of disappointing research, Ryan realized it was almost impossible to find a business that was willing to be candid about its profitability potential.

Finally, while flipping through the pages of Forbes magazine, Ryan came across the ATM franchise, American Consumer Financial Network (ACFN). He remembers the discovery as a surprisingly refreshing breakthrough, saying "I'd become a little jaded because of the constant expectation of fine print. But there wasn't any fine print with ACFN, they were very upfront." He was also relieved to find that it only took a few hours a week to maintain a collection of ATMs, allowing him to continue a fulltime career.

ACFN's business model offers franchisees the luxury of determining the size of their business, tailoring it to fit within their personal time constraints. Younger entrepreneurs can manage multiple responsibilities, graduate school or internships for example, and still offer a few hours a week to their very own cash cow.

"One of the strengths of our business that differentiates ACFN from other franchise opportunities is the ability to scale our business to fit the franchisees specific circumstances," says Jeff Kerr, President of ACFN. "Most start part time and then build towards full time as they are able to increase both their financial investment and time commitment. This unique feature allows younger entrepreneurs still busy with full time careers, raising their families and putting their nest egg together to get involved sooner rather than later," says Kerr.

Ryan recalls the only hurdle in operating his business was his first installation, "Standing in front of this machine, all I could think was 'How am I going to move this thing?' But once I got past the initial shock, it was easy. Now it's a game, I time myself to see how fast I can install them."
