2. 1
OVERVIEW
There are approximately 29 million small businesses in North America
1
. Every business needs new
customers. Successful ones understand the important role that utilizing multiple forms of promotion and
creating brand awareness plays in their customer acquisition processes.
II Transatlantic, Inc. (the “Company” or “Instant Imprints®”), was formed to develop a best-in-class
franchise concept offering turnkey marketing and promotional solutions to small-to-mid-sized (SMB),
schools, sporting organizations, regional and national organizations and retail consumers throughout
North America through No Frill Franchising Inc., its U.S. subsidiary and II Canada, Inc., its Canadian
subsidiary.
Background
The Instant Imprints
®
concept began as a family retail apparel business offering services that integrated
screen-printing, embroidery, promotional products, cut vinyl signs and banners as well as heat transfer
team wear and personalized clothing.
In 2001, under the original management team, Instant Imprints, Inc. was established to develop Instant
Imprints under a franchise model in the United States. In 2008, the Company’s current CEO, Ralph Askar,
who had a proven track record of successfully growing the Mail Box Etc. franchise concept in North
America and Europe, formed II Canada, Inc. to acquire an international Master Franchise license to
develop the Instant Imprints concept in Canada.
In 2011, II Canada acquired the U.S. parent company, and commenced recruitment of an experienced
management team. The Company enhanced its business model to compete more effectively and better
drive profitability, based on adoption of best-in-class technologies and a streamlined store footprint and
showroom design, in addition to implementing best practices across the brand for training and
operations.
In 2015, under the leadership of Mr. Askar, II Transatlantic was incorporated and the organization was
restructured as a US corporation owning the licensing and intellectual property for the Instant Imprints
brand. Today, the Company has grown to 50 franchises, with 22 operating in Canada and 28 operating in
the United States. We continue to focus on supporting the organization’s franchise owners through
training and access to a diversified set of marketing and promotional solutions to offer their community:
- Promotional Products - Branded Apparel - Print Services
- Custom T-Shirts - Signs & Banners
1
Small Business Administration reports approximately 28 million in the U.S. and Innovation, Science and Economic Canada reports
approximately 1 million in Canada.
3. 2
We believe that small business owners want a one-stop shop for their marketing and promotional
requirements, and the ability to interact directly with professionals that understand how to deliver best-in-
class solutions in each category, cost effectively.
In contrast with emerging Internet-based, on-demand mass customization solutions offered by firms such
as VistaPrint and Café Press, which are price-primary in their approach to market, Instant Imprints is
positioned to cater to customers that have high expectations about the service and products they
purchase and are willing to pay a little extra for them (see “Competitive Landscape” below).
We believe we are well-positioned to become a global brand in the decorated apparel, print, sign and
promotional marketplace.

We believe our approach to market is differentiated by the breadth of our product and service offerings,
and we will continue to identify new product and service offerings which will enhance our value
proposition in the markets in which we operate, providing Instant Imprints franchises to generate more
repeat business and increase average sales per ticket.

While there are other franchises that offer individual segments of the service offering of embroidery,
screen printing, digital printing, signs/banners and promotional materials, the Corporation believes that
the Instant Imprints’ unique business model is the only franchise of its kind providing customers with all
of these business offerings under one roof.
Combining multiple segments of the imaging business into an easily repeatable retail formula provides
Instant Imprints
®
franchise owners with a great advantage. Nearly every company, school, organization,
team, and consumer needs, buys, and uses the vast array of services and products available through
franchised retail store of Instant Imprints
®
. This wide market appeal helps to provide a year-round
business opportunity, insulated from other traditional retail seasonal salescycles.
Our store model is proven, and we believe the economics are compelling for prospective store franchisee.
At an average transaction value of $300 (based on historical results across the Instant Imprint store
portfolio), just 3 transactions a day over a 20-day per month period results in a clear path to cash-flow
breakeven at approximately $200,000 annual revenues.
Monthly run rates for store owners that follow the Instant Imprint organization system (supported by
effective business training and a first year quick start program of support) can reasonably be expected to
achieve 60 transactions per month between the 9-12 month period of store opening.
Market Overview
The North American markets for screen printing, sign & banner and promotional products is greater than
$33 billion annually. And there are more than 29 million small businesses that require these services on a
daily or weekly basis to build awareness and attract customers.

In the Franchise segment, our competition includes AArrow Advertising, Big Frog Custom T-Shirts,
EmbroidMe, Fast Signs International, PIP Printing & Marketing Services, Proforma, Sign-A-Rama and Sir
Speedy Printing & Marketing. None of these other franchises offers all of the business segments that
Instant Imprints offers.
The greater number of business segments we operate in, custom t-shirts, branded apparel, signs &
banners, promotional products and print services, represents increased operating leverage for our
franchisees. In addition to offering more products & services, we differentiate our business in the level of
aptitude and professionalism our stores provide to their customers.
Our business caters to customers that have higher expectations in terms of the products and services and
where price is not the key differentiator. This market positioning enables our franchisees to achieve and
maintain higher quality of revenue and accelerate their path to profitability.

The Franchise Model
Key to our growth strategy is our ability to attract, qualify and close prospective Area Franchisees that are
entrepreneurial and proactive, capable of expanding the number of store franchises in their respective
area territories. Based on management’s experience with strong comparative information throughout the
franchising value chain, we believe close ratios of 0.75 to 1.25 per 100 leads are achievable. We plan to
achieve close ratios at the higher end of the range.
Area Franchise territories consist of a minimum of 25 store territories, where a store territory is defined
based on demographical areas hosting at least 1,500 businesses and being home to at least 30,000
people. Area Franchisees receive 50% of all franchise and royalty fees for their first 5 years of their 10 year
license, adjusted to 40% for years 6 through 10.

We believe our model is an attractive one to prospective Area Franchisees:
Based on assumptions of annual franchise sales starting at $200,000 in the first year, with annual growth
ranging from 25% to 14% over a 5-year period (15.44% revenue CAGR), and the addition of 2 franchises
per year (inclusive of Area Franchisee pilot store in year 1) in their respective territory, Area Franchisees
can achieve cash flow return of capital on initial investment of approximately $366 thousand in between
years 3 and 4.
Under this scenario the Area Franchisee cumulative royalty and franchise fee CAGR is 53.66% and the 5-
year ROI based on EBITDA is 103.44%.
At present, the Company owns and operates three Master Licenses (United States, Canada and the UK).
There are up to 50 additional Master Licenses available worldwide, which represents at least $15 million in
potential Master License Fees.
There are 90 Area Licenses available in the United States, with another 6 Area Licenses available in Canada
and 21 in the UK, respectively. Without taking into consideration the potential area licenses available in
countries without Master Licenses, there are approximately 117 Area Licenses available in North America
and the UK, which represents at least $21.9 million in potential Area License Fees.
Assuming 25 franchises available under each Area License, in North America and the UK there are
approximately 2,925 franchise licenses available, which represent approximately $58.4 million in potential

The current avg. revenue per store across our Company is approximately $247,000. Assuming the
maximum number of franchises available in North America and UK are operational, in addition to the
current 50 (2,975 total), this translates into $25.7 million in annual, recurring royalty payments at 3.5%

Sales and Marketing Plan
Franchise development to qualified and approved applicants is targeted throughout North American and
internationally. Marketing strategies to promote the Instant Imprint brand to prospective franchisees
includes trade shows, franchise brokers, trade magazines, public relations across multiple media outlets
and internet lead gen portals.
As shown in a table above, we expect to generate approximately 1,600 qualified leads annual from these
activities and expand to 6,000 over the next 5 years, increasing from a close ratio of 0.75% to 1.25% over
that period.

Company is also paid 1% marketing fees which are not shared with Area Franchisees, which, using the same assumptions above
equates to an additional $7.4 million annually.
10. 9
Franchisee Share Program
The Company has set aside 1,000,000 shares of its Common Stock for issuance under its Franchisee Stock
Program ("Stock Program") which was adopted in June 2015. The Stock Program allows for the award of
up to 10,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to each Franchisee over a vested period of 4 years
distributed in equal amounts of 2,500 shares per year. In order to receive a distribution, the Franchisee
must meet certain conditions and standards to qualify as being in Good Standing at each of the
distribution dates. In addition any new Store or Area Franchisee who joins the franchise network after July
2015 and beyond will be awarded up to 10,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock per franchise
license or Area Franchise License awarded subject to the same annual distribution of 2,500 shares per year
over a period of 4 years and further subject to the maximum limitation of 1,000,000 shares of Common
Stock total. The Stock Program is voluntary and subject to the Company’s discretion to modify or
discontinue at any time.
We believe this is a unique incentive and that no such other franchisee/franchisor partnership program
exists in North America. A primary goal of this program is that it will dramatically assist growth within the
franchise system in several ways:
• Individual same store sales growth will improve through better focus on programs of engagement
and communication between the franchisor and franchisee because of factors of unity, common
purpose and pride of ownership;
• Franchisee’s positive referrals about the benefits of being a franchisee within the Instant Imprints
brand will increase through promotion of goodwill;
• Franchisee inquiries (numbers of qualified leads) will increase; and therefore,
• Booking rates on applicants inquiring into the franchise will increase.
Key Inputs to the Model
The Company generates revenue through the following:
• Master License Sales ($300,000 to $500,000 average) with potential of 50countries;
• Area Franchise Sales ($187,500 average) with potential of 117 in North America and UKalone;
• Initial Franchise Fee ($39,500 in Company-operated Franchise Areas and $19,750 in Area
Franchise-operated Areas). Assuming 25 stores per area, potential of 2,925 potential Store
Franchises;
• Ongoing Royalties (3% of Store Franchise revenues in North America and 4% of Store Franchise
revenues in the UK);
• Ongoing Marketing Fee (1% of Store Franchise revenues in North America and 2% of Store
Franchise revenues in the UK);
11. 10
• Under Master License partnership, each Area Franchise sold will generate 15% of license fee;
• Ongoing Royalties under Master License partnership (1.5% of all international royalties earned);
• Training Fees ($4,000 per Store Franchise);
• Consulting Agreements on Store Franchise Transfer (8% of selling price – minimum of $14,000);
• Transfer Fees earned generate 2/3 of $15,000 per center transferred; and
• Franchise Renewal Fee (25% of Store Franchise, Area License and Master License fees paid).
