California Based Interpreters to Launch National Franchise Program
SAN DIEGO, May 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Interpreters Unlimited are pleased to announce that they have secured a GSA Schedule 738 contract and will place their interpretative and linguistic services on GSA Advantage!®, the government's electronic ordering system (www.gsaadvantage.gov).
"This award and the related opportunities that GSA Schedule recipients enjoy will supplement our organic corporate growth as well as provide increased opportunities for our newly enhanced franchise program," stated Sayed Ali, CEO of Interpreters Unlimited. He continued: "The need for quality translation and interpretation services continues to grow as the country's immigrant population expands. The demand from health care, legal, governmental agencies and corporate interests reflects the country's new diversity."
Interpretative and translation services in the US were valued at over $18 B in 2010 with conservative projections of 35% growth to over $24 B by 2012. In response, Interpreters Unlimited has developed a turnkey business opportunity. "Our home-based franchise programs are designed for businessmen, not linguists," said Ali. He added, "All of our packages include extensive training, comprehensive operation manuals and propriety software that provides billing, scheduling and client data management."
GSA Applications managed the tender process on behalf of Interpreters Unlimited facilitating the application preparation, submission and negotiations with government buyers at the GSA. "We are committed to assisting small and medium-sized businesses with effective, turn-key solutions that enhance their competitive edge in gaining access to government spending," said Joe Glennon, Chief Operating Officer.
