We now offer Lease / Purchase Programs for inexperienced or foreign investors
_______________________________________________________________________________________

For those people who wish to purchase a new gas station but are not able to obtain financing, or who are afraid to enter into such a large venture alone, we offer an alternative way to own a brand new gas station.

     Here are some of the many benefits to our Lease/Purchase program:

• Lock in the purchase price of the real estate now without having to purchase the property for 24 months.
• Keep all of the profit generated at the business.
• Earn appreciation on the property without being the owner.
• Receive the best gasoline supply contract.
• You will have our 25 years of experience in the gas station business behind you.

		A majority of our sites are approved by 7-11

Depending on the station, the buyer would be required to make an investment of at least $400,000 down. The purchase price of the property will be established upon signing the lease and will remain the same for 24 months.

This alone shows that we definitely believe in the project.

Conditions:

• The Lease / Purchase Programs are only available for brand new stations and must be
  approved by Gas Stations USA.
• Investors must operate the station.

Most people ask "What are the expenses of a gas station?"
"How much can I make?"

For an average station opened 18 hours a day, pumping up to 150,000 gallons per month with store sales between $20,000 and $40,000 monthly, you should expect to have the following monthly expenses:

• PAYROLL: there are 540 man hours in a month multiply that by $7 per hour
  and you will get $3,780. Add payroll taxes and workman's compensation and
  the payroll expense will come to $4,200
• UTILITIES: electric, water, sewer, garbage collection, phone approximately
  $1,400
• CREDIT CARD FEES: credit card fees range depending on the oil company
  and the gas volume. A fair amount is between $600 and $1,000
• INSURANCE: liability insurance ranges between $1,400 and $2,200 per year
  In some cases full coverage is expected by the oil company or landlord. In this
  case the cost will vary depending on the structure.
• ACCOUNTING: most accountants charge $150 per month
• MAINTENANCE: $250

If the station has fast food or deli add payroll and increase utilities by 25%.
Car washes increase electric and water by 25% to 30%.
Add to these expenses the rent or the mortgage.

You have to keep in mind that a small operation may require the owner to work more hours. We recommend that for the first year the new owner should work at least 50 hours per week and cut you expenses as much as possible.

To calculate the gross income, multiply the gallons by the profit per gallon. Take 30% of the store sales. Lottery income is 5% of lotto sales. Car wash income is about 80% profit. Fast food profit is between 60% and 70% of sales. Auto repair shops make 33% profit of all sales (this includes mechanics and parts).

Deduct the expenses from the income and that's your net profit.

After 25 years in the gas station business, we have learned that this is the best way to calculate the actual profit of a gas station.
