Guaranteed Buy-Back Assured Ownership Working with third party companies often entails losing ownership of potentially lucrative markets. It also means that the supplier does not retain a relationship with the customer and risks losing supplemental revenue to the third party. The guaranteed buy back option offered through the Mpower1 Joint Venture provides the supplier with assured future ownership and direct access to the market and customers. Mpower1 will significantly reduce all major areas of risk associated with traditional overseas ventures.  The risks of employing inadequate staff or distributors are avoided as quality personnel are assured through Mpower1, the costs of the venture are substantially lower than going it alone and by using highly experienced resource, the risk of lost opportunity is greatly reduced. 

Time to Market
Time is often a critical element in finding success in a specific market.  The access Mpower1 has to experienced personnel provides for initial sales processes to be undertaken without the potentially long delays associated with finding, re-deploying and training staff. 

Retaining Control of Software
One of the main concerns in using third party agents or distributors is the loss of control of software. Quality is often impaired but the risk of copied or stolen software is also a major problem.  The Mpower1 approach ensures that the software and documentation resides with the company, where the supplier has board representation and significant ownership and therefore maintains control. 

Accounting and Balance Sheet
An investment into a joint venture increases the assets on an Mpower1 customer’s balance sheet making the asset base look more favorable and it does not impact the company’s revenue. In many instances it appears that this can also be done in a tax favorable manner

Market Lockout
A significant problem when entering a new market with either new staff or a distributor is that for the initial period of agreement or employment, the supplier is virtually locked out of a market. The length of time is often extended as there are always discussions under way with ‘a great prospect’.  This lockout can often result in a lost market for the product.  With the Mpower1 approach, the supplier can be directly involved and can therefore monitor both the markets and the opportunities. With a place on the board the supplier always has influence on the direction to be taken.  In extreme circumstances the supplier is always able to resume control through early buy back or failure induced exit.
