This opportunity is too good to wait for a regular post.

I like to stick with our normal publishing schedule here at Quantum Business Briefs, but every so often I come across something so outstanding that I need to get it in front of our audience of 3,500 aspiring and current business owners.

Last week I spent an hour with the franchise development executive at a window treatment company learning all about their brand.

Hear me out…

I know that not many people dream about being a window treatment professional when they grow up. But I know this audience, and I know that the majority of our readers are business minded, on the hunt for low investment, high return opportunities, and this is one you need to pay attention to.

The company we’re talking about began in 2001 and has grown to over 144 territories across the United States with 37 new territories projected to open in the next 12 months. They are quickly becoming the industry leader in the window treatment and shutter vertical in the home services industry.

This is a home-based business with the option of scaling into a retail showroom if you wish. It’s a business that is cash flow friendly with no inventory, aging receivables, bad debt (customers pay before ordering), or contingent liabilities and no design experience is required.

Once the sale is made, installation is completed by a 1099 contractor that the company helps you locate and contract with.

Let’s talk about the numbers.

This is a franchise you can own for a total, all-in investment between $100,050 and $122,055.

The following is found in Item 19 of the 2023 Franchise Disclosure Document.

Average territory sales in 2022: $598,272

Top performing territory sales in 2022: $2,963,163

Average gross profit margin in 2022: 56.1%

Average individual sale amount in 2022: $3,839

A day in the life of a franchise owner.

Are you an ideal candidate?

The franchisees’ backgrounds are diverse, ranging from stay-at-home moms to CEOs. Very few have design experience, and we’ve found that it has no bearing on success.

Here is what does make a good franchisee:

• High-energy, friendly personality

• Hard working and self-motivated

• Desire to work with people

• Sales and marketing experience is a bonus

Here’s how to learn more.

First, click the blue button below to download an introductory PDF. As soon as I’m notified that you’ve done so I’ll check your city for availability. Be sure to provide both first and last name for the territory check to be done. As soon as you download the PDF, your browser will redirect to this page where you can provide me with some additional information to be pre-qualified as a candidate if you wish.

I’ll then send you two more PDFs with much more information along with a link to my calendar to schedule a 15 minute call to talk about the opportunity.

After we’ve had our call, if you would like to continue the discovery process, I’ll introduce you to the franchise development team at the company who will have a discovery call with you and provide you with their Franchise Disclosure Document and a list of current franchise owners you can contact to discuss their experience with the company.

Like I said at the top of the post, this is one of those “unicorn” opportunities with 144 current franchise owners who are glad today that someone shared information like this with them yesterday!
