Are you thinking About Working for yourself
The Brother PR embroidery machines are essentially a standalone business, you buy on and that's it, your set all you need to do is find customers. Your customers could be anything from Schools and Colleges to Sports Clubs or Businesses. Purchasing Garments in bulk from a clothing manufacturer is easy and with the Brother PR embroidery machines embroidering them is also easy. Yes, this machine is not cheap when compared to other domestic machines but compared to a multi-head industrial embroidery machine this is way under budget. I like to think that the best way to think about recouping the cost is by finding your first customer. Just one school, one business, one sports club is all it takes. Please take a look below for a general idea of possible costs and approximate profits to be made.

This is no gimmick customers of ours literally buy one of these machines and suddenly their working from themselves and what I tend to find is they come back for a second Brother PR once business is booming it is honestly as simple as that.

We also have fully trained engineers who service and repair the Brother PR machines nationwide. For more information regarding our service and repair prices don't hesitate to contact us.

As much as we would like to get this fabulous PR680w to you using our fast overnight shipping, this is simply not possible due to the box dimensions and weight. Delivery can take between 1 to 4 days.
