New Income Fund Offers Professional Athletes Investment Opportunity In Franchising

PALM BEACH, Fla., Sept. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- For the first time, professional athletes and high net worth individuals seeking to earn money in franchising as passive investors can do so with an investment in the newly formed Playbook Solutions Group Franchise Income Fund (Playbook Franchise Fund). Leonard Marshall, veteran of 12 NFL seasons and two Super Bowls, is a partner on the team led by Founder Steven H. Levenson.

"The franchise industry is continuing to flourish and we are poised to help former and current athletes and other investors reap financial success in this industry with none of the hands on work," said Levenson. "Like a team's successful playbook, franchising works because it's a replicable model. Our team of experts is ready to provide investors with a new, stable and predictable income source."

One in 12 businesses established in the U.S. are franchises and they account for $802 billion in direct sales nationwide. Many investors want to share in the income opportunity offered in this growing and financially lucrative franchise space but do not want the day-to-day operational responsibility.  The Playbook Franchise Fund offers investors this option and provides a "playbook," or defined set of strategies for success.

"As athletes, we are accustomed to receiving guidance from our playbook on the field. After our career has finished, we look for the same guidance on how to maintain a financially stable life," Marshall said. "I've seen first hand how vital this guidance is and how the fund can help sustain a comfortable stream of income."

A report by Sports Illustrated estimated 78% of NFL players are bankrupt or facing financial stress within two years of leaving their league careers. Playbook Franchise Fund offers these high net worth individuals a predictable income stream with a unique and preferred return of 7.5 percent annualized return distributed monthly, plus 50 percent of profit from equity investments. The Fund receives cash flow from the operation of existing franchises.  Investors purchase units in Playbook Franchise Fund's name.  The minimum individual investment is $100,000.  The fund maximum is $50,000,000.

Levenson, a real estate and securities veteran as well as an expert in wealth management for athletes, leads a team that collectively has more than 200 years of experience in franchising and finance.  The team is a resource to investors and supervises all aspects of the franchise business investment and operations. Playbook Franchise Fund invests in franchises in recession proof and commonly used verticals such as health and fitness, elder care and restaurants. These franchises are market leaders in their category and have national brand recognition, successful track records and operational efficiency.
