As a Quik Internet franchisee, you will become the Quik Internet service provider expert in your area. As a full service Internet provider you will be able to offer all Internet products under one roof. That means you can supply to your customers; Dial-Up Internet access, Broadband satellite access, DSL (where available) Web Hosting, Design and Consulting, along with a host of other Internet products.

In fact, Quik Internet carries more Internet products than any other Internet service provider anywhere! The Quik Internet franchise model was designed to create a full service, low overhead business opportunity by enabling non-technical people to become Internet service providers, delivering Internet services at a local level with personalized customer attention.

Basic dialup has traditionally been slow and unreliable, and DSL/Broadband is still unavailable in most residential communities. At Quik Internet our franchise model allows us to provide faster connections speeds with no knock-offs or busy signals. We also bring high-speed broadband solutions to those who can't get DSL.

In addition, there are millions of people who have little knowledge about how the Internet works or how it can best be used personally and professionally. We train you to become an Internet expert and our proprietary software makes it easy to manage your customer base. As the expert in your town, you have unlimited opportunities for helping your community while marketing your business.

If you can talk comfortably with people and have a working knowledge of Microsoft Windows, you already have what it takes to attend our training and to successfully run a Quik Internet franchise.

Quik Internet is a worldwide franchise of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) with more staffed offices than any other Internet company in the world.

Quik Internet exclusively uses IBM RS/6000 Web servers, the highest quality in the industry. These servers have been tested by industry experts as the world’s fastest servers. In fact, the RS/6000 earned a world record for recording and sustaining 963,948 hits per minute as the official Web server of the 2000 Champion Wimbledon games. Founded in 1996, Quik International, parent company to Quik Internet, gives entrepreneurs the opportunity to capitalize on the Internet—the biggest revolution in 250 years—by franchising ISPs in local communities around the world under the name Quik Internet.

Why Quik Internet?

Key components of our model were developed to make the franchise a plug and play operation. First and foremost, Quik developed proprietary software called "Cheetah". Cheetah connects each franchise to the Quik network and completely automates administrative operations such as setting up, managing and billing customer accounts. A franchisee can sign-up new customers and pre-set the billing parameters with just a few simple steps. Cheetah is licensed proprietary software designed and developed by Quik Internet, and is licensed to all franchisees for their use.

The Quik Internet network is engineered to provide optimal online service and technology with a system of IBM Web servers. The line of RS/6000 IBM Web servers became the choice for Quik Internet because industry experts tested these servers as the worlds fastest. In fact, the RS/6000 earned a world record for recording 963,948 hits per minute as the official Web server in 2000 at the Champion Wimbledon games.

Through the franchise model of pooled resources, Quik Internet can boast the fact that, it's one of the few Internet providers and hosting companies to operate with these high-end servers. Typically, companies operating with RS/6000 servers are large organizations such as banking institutions.

What does this mean to Quik Internet franchisees? Better, faster, and more reliable servers, which means happier customers. The happier the customer, the longer you keep them.

We know your time and money are valuable, that's why we've taken steps to ensure your investment has all the potential it deserves with a proven and time tested operational system. Having Quik's operations and support behind you means that you will be in business for yourself, but not by yourself. You benefit from years of experience delivering proven operational standards and procedures that have been successful in hundreds of Quik Internet franchises just like yours.

Billing

Quik Internet franchise owners do not need to worry about processing credit cards or sending out invoices. Why? Part of the success of Quik Internet's franchise model is attributed to the centralized billing system.

Many small businesses fail simply because they do not have a sophisticated enough billing system to bill their clients. As a Quik franchisee, your business will have the billing managed for you. The Quik Internet franchise includes a centralized billing department where all of the credit cards are processed, statements run and delivered and payments processed.

Handling the billing centrally is just another way the Quik model allows you to concentrate on getting more customers, making more money, and keeping current clients happy.
