Franchise Fridays: New Systems For Those Who Want To Help Lead The Company Forward

Franchise systems come in all sizes.

There are huge, long-established franchise networks. You’ve eaten their hamburgers or chicken sandwiches and let them change your oil or buy your ugly house. And then there are systems new to franchising with a few owners, or they may even be on the hunt for their very first franchisee.

Both established systems and new systems present unique advantages and value propositions, but also unique challenges. Those challenges, however, are usually caused by a franchisee mismatch. Some franchisee candidates are best suited to join a well-established “plug and play” empire. Others are very entrepreneurial, more independent, pioneering, and are best suited to join a young system and help steer the course forward.

One of the great things about becoming a franchisee with a newer system is the opportunity to help guide the company into the future. Huge, legendary brands like McDonalds are guided forward almost exclusively by their corporate leadership, whereas a franchise system with only a handful of owners is a great fit for an entrepreneur who wants to be invited by leadership to help shape the future of the company and write the playbook together.

If you’re exploring the possibility of franchising, your first winning move is to determine what kind of system is the best fit for you. Here’s a totally free, 10-minute assessment that will help you do just that.

This week, we’ll explore five rapidly growing systems with fewer than 20 owners, and projections of 15 to 20 more in the next year.

BarkSuds is a new spin on a tradition dog grooming salon. BarkSuds uses a membership-based reocurring income model. This means that a Franchisee will enjoy consistent and predictable income unlike traditional groomers.

BarkSuds is the based on the $45 per month unlimited dog grooming model.  It’s a whole new revolutionary spin on a traditional grooming salon that is faced with unpredictable and inconsistent appointments.  A BarkSuds Franchisee will receive $45 dollars per dog every month guaranteed! This automatic monthly credit card billing model is a revolutionary spin on the traditional dog grooming salon.  This membership-based model translates into predictable income streams just like a car wash, meal plans and gyms.  Membership ecnourage loyalty which in turn creates a second stream of income for haircuts as well. Even for the most risk-adverse person who has counted on a bi-weekly paycheck can celebrate the deposits every night when memberships renew automatically.  Think about it, you get paid even if BarkSuds is closed two days a week because memberships renew every single day.  Now that’s a income you can count on.

Whether you want to work at the salon or hire a full time manager and enjoy passive income, BarkSuds is the best option because it is highly systemic and process driven and no cash changes hands at all.  All memberships are automatically billed with the credit card on file at sign up and haircuts are additional income that are also added to the credit card on file.  You can either greet every beautiful pup that enters the salon or “sit” back and just watch as the passive income “packs” in.

BarkSuds has amazing pre-tax profits too.  With negligible variable costs such as wholesale bath products, a Franchise will enjoy upwards of 45% pre-tax margins!

There are no raw materials to cook or assemble, no perishable products, no inventory holding costs and only require a modest square footage.  This means more revenue flows to the you the Franchisee.

There are incredibly low build out cost as well.  No required expensive commercial kitchens like a restaurant franchise.  In fact, no required finishes in the back-end of the salon at all! Dogs just do not notice fancy fixtures in the salon back.  Quick build out means quick openings!

Profit per salon is can exceed $345,000 dollars with gross revenue at only 1,000 dogs of $840,000.  This is extremely high for a single franchise.

BarkSuds is both recession proof and internet proof. Dog parents will never skimp on there loving pups and you cannot wash a dog virtually so Amazon is not a constant threat.  BarkSuds is a business that will stand the test of time, not the flavor of the month or a fad.  BarkSuds is a business that is super easy to value because of the membership-bases model so even if you don’t want to hand over the business to you kids, it very easy to sell or transfer.

Just leave that 9 to 5 soul crushing job and follow you passion with a BarkSuds Franchise. This concept will fill both your pocket book and your heart.

A Place At Home is a growing senior care franchise offering a recession-resistant concept in the booming industry of private duty non-medical in-home care. What differentiates us is Senior Focused Care, a multi-revenue stream approach only found at A Place At Home. Additional differentiators include our proven business growth roadmap called CARE Track, our tight-knit franchise family culture, low-cost initial investment, and personalized support with senior care industry veterans. If you want to focus full-time on building a strong financially rewarding business that positively impacts the lives of seniors in your community, then you may be a good fit for A Place At Home!

Is it the right time?

Yes! America’s aging population isn’t slowing down. Baby boomers started turning 65 in 2011 and nearly 25 percent do not go to a doctor according to the Commonwealth Fund’s 20th International Health Policy survey. This is partly why one in eight seniors in the United States have three or more chronic healthcare conditions and struggle with daily activities compared to seniors in other countries.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, from 2006 to 2016, the healthcare sector grew seven times faster than any other area of the economy because of the rapid increase in older Americans and the overall pressure it’s placed on the healthcare system to meet their needs. 3 in 4 seniors want to stay in their homes and maintain their independence as long as possible, according to the AARP.

Healthcare is a reliable industry that’s growing rapidly and senior care is an essential business that can withstand recessions and pandemics. A Place At Home continues to grow since the beginning of the franchise in 2017. New franchise owners experienced growth during the 2020 pandemic. Families and healthcare providers want to keep patients out of the hospital and in their homes now more than ever. We provide the framework to make you an invaluable member of your community.

Franchising with ALSET Auto gives our franchisees the ability to be a part of the fastest growing automotive company in the world. At ALSET Auto, we don’t protect cars. We protect Teslas.

As Tesla owners and enthusiasts, we applaud the company for ambitiously manufacturing its cars in California. However, the state’s strict emissions regulations and Cal/EPA laws severely restrict the amount of VOCs allowed in commercial automotive paints, resulting in a soft finish that is more susceptible to blemishes, rock chips and scratches. Combine this with the fact that Teslas have a longer-than-average length of ownership and more miles driven per year, it’s no wonder why Teslas are among the most paint-protected cars on the road.

That’s where ALSET Auto steps in. We offer durable, long-lasting films and coatings that protect and preserve Tesla owners’ investment while offering peace of mind.

ALSET Auto is the culmination of years of business experience and a passion for Tesla. The company Founders are not detailers or automotive industry veterans, which sets ALSET Auto apart from the competition. ALSET Auto takes a creative, unconventional approach to the paint protection and automotive accessory industry by catering to the mindset and personality of Tesla owners and enthusiasts.

Because we work exclusively on Teslas, we’re able to source and develop products and protective coatings specifically for Tesla’s paint and attributes. We’ve built relationships with industry-leading manufacturers and vendors to offer our franchisees and their customers the best protective coatings on the market. Unlike our competitors, ALSET Auto sources our products within the United States, not Asia.

ALSET Auto is proud to be part of one the most exciting and innovative brands in the automotive industry. With more than 1.5million Teslas currently on the road and an estimated 600k+ cars being delivered in 2021, ALSET Auto franchisees have the ability to be a part of one of the fastest-growing brands in the world.

The Code Wiz franchise inspires the next generation of coding wizards through our unique Montessori-style approach to teaching problem-solving skills and creativity in individualized in-person and online coding classes!

Code Wiz is more than a child education franchise. It’s an outgrowth of our commitment to transforming the way kids engage with technology. Code Wiz franchisees value the company’s family-friendly environment and our easily replicable recipe for success. We understand how to tap into parents’ desire for tech-literate kids, and how to create an upbeat, bustling learning center that quickly becomes central to a community. A Code Wiz child education franchise is a financial investment, but it’s also an opportunity to empower kids to connect with technology in meaningful ways that have a lifelong positive impact.

Kids love Code Wiz for a million different reasons, but ultimately it’s that our curriculum can be easily tailored to appeal to every learning style. Yet there are many other kid-friendly features that set Code Wiz apart, including:

• Bright tech-themed learning centers
• Achievement/rewards system
• Small staff-to-student ratios
• Relationships with technology companies

Why Coding For Kids?

Computers and software are changing the way we interact, work, create, do business, and problem-solving. But even with computers and technology fundamentally shaping our world, only 47% of American High Schools teach computer science.

Overwhelmingly, both students and parents are seeking out options for computer science education. A recent Access Report says that 90% of parents want their child to study computer science, and polled students show that children list computer science and performing arts as the classes they most enjoy.

STEM and computer science classes are often considered to be ‘specialized’ because people assume that the skills children learn in these classes are only useful for careers in engineering or programming. But coding has proven to be a FOUNDATIONAL skill, not a vocational one. Learning to code improves problem-solving, creativity, and logic: Skills valuable in all areas of life and in all kinds of professions.

On top of being sought after by parents, fun for kids, and foundational for education, learning to code can open up future job opportunities for children. Computing jobs are the #1 source of new wages in the United States. And not just in the tech industry!

This growing demand for computer science education and the opportunities that come with it does not correlate with the only 47% of high schools that offer computer science education. Code Wiz is filling the gap with coding classes for kids ages 7-17 who are seeking a fun and important skill.
