Short answer, no. In fact we prefer our owners not to be working IN their business so they can work ON their business. In training we give you all the necessary tools to hire and train your staff. As your support team we’ll also help you find the right people by screening potential hires and even helping you conduct your first interviews.
We have access to a wedding report that shows the average price that couples pay for each service. This report also breaks down the total paid for each wedding and how many weddings were conducted each year in your territory. This topic also gets covered in your training helping you set up a base price for all of your services.
The initial investment ranges from $30,000 to $60,000 based on population in your territory. This price also includes necessary equipment for your first year and $5,000 in an operating account.
The beauty of this business and what makes it a low cost start up is the fact that you can run it from your home the first few years. We have certain milestones based on gross revenue that determine when you’re ready for a storefront. When that times comes, the support office helps their franchisees with space, location decor, etc…
A manager can be assigned and hired to run the business as long as that person completes the training with the owner.
A new owner starting out, we like to see them grow one market at a time. If you’re interested in multiple territories, we can discuss benchmarks to hit before purchasing more than one territory.
Territories are generally broken up by counties surrounding a metro area of interest. The only exceptions would be if the metro is big enough to split up (e.g. Chicago).
