Corporate Information
The Postal Connections franchise is a license to independently own and operate (i) an iSold It Internet seller assistance store serving retail customers, with an on-site Postal Connections service center (“PC/ISI Store”) or (ii) an iSold It Internet auction fulfillment business operated from an individual Franchisee's residence, and adjacent storage facilities to hold products to be shipped for retail customers (“@Home Location”). PC/ISI Stores d @Home Locations are sometimes collectively referred to in this disclosure document as “Outlets”. All Outlets will be authorized to use the Postal Connections, iSold It and PC/ISI service marks (collectively, the “Marks”). PC/ISI Stores provide retail customers with mailing, shipping, fax, copy, key duplication, packaging, shipping, Federal Express and United Parcel Service, sale of stamps, an approved selection of office products, computer rental stations, Internet access, e-mail access, and related products and services, and in some cases, notary public and other authorized programs, under the Postal Connections marks. The secondary business of a PC/ISI Store will be to receive a variety of merchandise and other property from retail customers and other property sellers and then assist them in advertising and selling this property over the Internet. A franchisee may also operate a PC/ISI Storean iSold It Internet seller assistance store serving retail customers at their residence as an “@Home Location” if there are adequate adjacent storage facilities to hold products to be shipped for customers and the use of the residence as an @Home Location is in full compliance with (i) local zoning laws, (ii) city laws, regulations and ordinances, (iii) covenants, conditions and restrictions (“CC&Rs”) relating to the premises where an @Home Location is located, and (iv) any applicable homeowner's association requirements. Excepting @Home Locations, the Outlet has distinctive formats and methods of doing business, including color schemes, signs, equipment, layouts, systems, methods, procedures, designs, approved apparel, training and guidance procedures, and marketing and advertising standards and formats. In 2018 and earlier, we offered franchises that were exclusively full-service Postal Connection retail stores (“PC Stores”), but we no longer do so. Our existing PC Stores will be converting to PC/ISI Stores, including four PC Store franchisees who purchased franchises before December 31, 2018, who will be opening as PC/ISI Stores in 2019.

Summary of Investment Costs
Upfront Franchise Fees
Minimum: $38,300 Maximum: $38,800
Upfront franchise fees are the one-time payments required to secure rights to operate under an established brand, typically ranging from $20,000 to $100,000+ depending on brand value.
These fees grant access to proprietary business systems, training programs, intellectual property rights, and often territorial exclusivity—essentially purchasing the blueprint for a proven business model.
While separate from ongoing royalties, investors should evaluate these fees against expected returns, comparing fee-to-earnings ratios across opportunities and assessing how effectively franchisors reinvest these funds into system improvements.
Total Investment Costs
Minimum: $134,320 Maximum: $239,150
Ongoing Fees
Ongoing franchise fees, typically structured as royalties ranging from 4-8% of gross sales, represent the continuous payments franchisees make to maintain brand affiliation and support services.
These recurring fees fund the franchisor's operational assistance, marketing initiatives, technology updates, and continued brand development—creating a partnership where the franchisor's revenue grows alongside the franchisee's success. In addition to royalties, franchisees often contribute to national advertising funds (usually 1-3% of sales) and may incur technology fees, supply chain markups, or renewal fees depending on the franchise agreement.
Investors should carefully analyze these ongoing costs within their financial projections, as they directly impact profit margins and cash flow throughout the entire franchise relationship.
