Franchising vs. Building a Business from Scratch
The Smarter Path to Franchise Ownership
After years of building value for other people, it’s your turn. Franchise ownership lets accomplished professionals step into a proven model, avoid rookie mistakes, and build a sellable asset—without guessing.
Why Franchising Works
A proven business model that already fits the market
Ongoing training and support from the franchisor
A peer network of owners to share what’s working
Group buying power for materials, marketing, and services
Built-in tech systems ready to run on day one
Access to marketing strategies and performance data from other locations

Franchise Expectations
Ideal profile:
Net worth: $100,000–$150,000+ before investing
Total investment: $150,000–$300,000 (franchise fee, startup, working capital)
SBA financing available in many cases, often reducing upfront cash to around $50,000
ROBS (rollover of retirement funds) may be available if eligible
Revenue and Profit Expectations
For smaller franchise concepts:
Year 1–2 revenues often range $400,000–$800,000
Some locations reach $1M in year one
Average net profit commonly around 20%
Plus, you’re building an asset you can sell later—and there can be meaningful tax advantages. (Results vary by concept, market, and execution.)

We can also help with franchise funding questions
“By now, you might be asking...How will I pay for this?” is the first real hurdle. We make it simple and map the path.
What we do
Build a side-by-side funding plan tied to your budget and timeline
Prep you for lender conversations (docs, credit, working capital)
Connect you with vetted providers and stay with you through approval
Common, proven options
ROBS (retirement rollover): Use eligible retirement funds to invest in your business—tax- and penalty-free when structured correctly.
SBA loans: Government-backed financing often favored for franchises due to lower perceived risk and clear use of proceeds.
Portfolio / securities-backed lines: Borrow against your investment portfolio without liquidating.
You have choices. We’ll help you pick the right mix, get pre-qualified, and move from approval to opening with no guesswork.
