What are some costs and tasks associated with adding a Live Scan facility to a business?

Adding a Live Scan facility involves both upfront costs and ongoing tasks and expenses. Here’s a breakdown:

Initial Equipment & Setup:

• Hardware Investment: Purchase of high-quality fingerprint scanners and compatible computer systems.

• Software & Licensing: Costs for secure scanning software, plus any state or federal licensing fees required for operation.

• Facility Adjustments: Modifications to your existing space to meet compliance and security standards.

1. Staffing & Training:

   • Training Programs: Educating staff on the proper use of the equipment, data privacy protocols, and regulatory compliance.

   • Operational Setup: Developing and implementing standard operating procedures for managing appointments, data handling, and customer interactions.

2. Ongoing Costs:

   • Maintenance & Upgrades: Regular servicing and updating of both hardware and software to ensure continuous, smooth operations.

   • Advertising: Ad buys and other marketing will be required for the success of your live scan business

What if I don’t already have an established business—can I still launch a Live Scan facility?

The startup costs and fees for launching a new Live Scan facility are typically three to four times higher than integrating these services into an established business. Additionally, building a customer base from scratch can be significantly more challenging. While we occasionally work with startups, our experience shows that our comprehensive Live Scan solutions are best suited for established businesses with an existing customer base, as this approach minimizes upfront expenses and accelerates the return on investment.

What are the fee ranges for each opportunity?

Whether we help you launch your own facility or partner with us, there are minimum investments for both our services and equipment costs. The starting range depends on which equipment and services you would like to offer.

Adding a Live Scan Business $12000.00- $20000.00 plus monthly costs

Partnership- $5000.00 - $7000.00 plus monthly costs

The primary expense is the equipment investment when considering the addition of fingerprinting services. Budget-friendly systems are available for around $6,000 to $7,000, though these models may offer fewer features. In contrast, premium systems, costing closer to $15,000, come equipped with advanced functionalities that can enhance your service efficiency and potentially increase revenue. Ultimately, the choice depends on your business needs and the long-term benefits you aim to achieve.

We ensure complete transparency by discussing all associated costs with you in detail. This way, you'll understand the investment required and the clear business opportunity to enhance your bottom line through increased revenue.

Are you offering a franchise?

No, we are not offering a franchise. Let us repeat that…HELL NO. We've found that the traditional franchise model often places more benefits in the hands of the franchisor rather than empowering the individual business owner. Instead, we provide a comprehensive business opportunity that gives you complete control of your Live Scan facility(a little less control when we partner).

Our approach includes a complete framework, in-depth training, and support—everything you need to launch and operate your business successfully without the limitations and fees typically associated with franchises. This model is designed to minimize the common headaches of starting or adding a new venture, enabling you to focus on growing your revenue.
