Hey Empire Builders,

Welcome to this week’s Franchise Empire Newsletter, where we share specific franchise opportunities that we think are interesting, and examples of everyday folks building their empires.

For those of you who are struggling to find the right franchise, or maybe you’ve worked with a broker or consultant and haven’t had success…

We offer a two week trial in our proprietary Zero to Profitable Franchise™ system to help you get access to the most proven franchises and reduce your risk, so that you can buy a money making franchise with confidence and PROTECT YOUR ASSETS. 

We help you with 3 things:

1. Finding a quality franchise that aligns with your skills, budget and is available in your area.
2. Due diligence to reduce your risk and protect your assets.
3. Getting launched so you can get off to a fast start.

What’s the catch? 

We don’t work with everyone, and you need to qualify.

The good news?

You can schedule a free consultation with our team to see if you qualify, and if we are the right fit to work with each other.

Clayton had an impressive construction project management background, managing large-scale projects throughout the world.

Five Star Bath Solutions offers quick, affordable bath/shower remodeling services. Their main focus is residential customers who aren’t looking to do a complete bathroom remodel, but instead make some major changes to the bath and/or shower. Most jobs are completed in just 1-3 days. The product itself is pre-cut and simulated to look like stone or marble so it appears like the real thing. The before and after pictures speak for themselves.

Below tables taken from the Five Star Bath Solutions 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document – Item 19. This is just a snapshot of the 7 pages that are in the FDD.

+ = for franchisees who are operational for all 12 months of 2023

*Median of $619,383; with high of $2,355,660 and low of $0

****Median of $943,558; with high of $10,901,031 and low of $21,595

Benefits for the Franchisee:

• Lead Gen – FSBS likes to say they are a marketing company who happens to do bath remodels. They claim 70%-90% of your leads will come from the advertising they do on your behalf.

• Small Team – You can start with just yourself and 1 installer. As your installer’s schedule gets full, you’ll add on another installer when it makes sense for the business.

• Simple Model – Without doing a complete overhaul of the bathroom, you’re able to get jobs done quickly and efficiently. You don’t need skilled labor as anyone can be trained to become an installer.

• Start From Home – They recommend that you start the business from home. You can lease a small 300-500 sq ft location but that is not required or recommended on day 1.

• Call Center – In-house call center allows you to focus on sales and installation instead of setting appointments and answering questions.

• Item 19 – 7 pages of relatively transparent financials including net income breakdown for a corporate location. Median Gross Sales according to the chart above was $619,383. If you take the median of the total investment ($200,000) you’re getting a potential 3x sales to investment ratio.
