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.

Andy, from the Dallas/Fort Worth area has had a 30+ year career in transportation logistics, and recently left a role as President of the company after it was acquired.

He was seeking a franchise opportunity to potentially replace corporate income within 2-3 years, and wants to be proud of the business and have potential for growth/expansion.

After working closely with Marc on our team at Franchise Empire, and being introduced to several brands, both Andy and his wife Dacia were very impressed with the technology, marketing and leadership at leading home improvement franchise, and, after a very comprehensive Discovery Day, signed on to do three territories and are very proud of their decision and are looking forward to becoming successful franchisees.

Archadeck is the world’s largest custom design builder of custom decks, screened porches, open porches, gazebos, hot tub enclosures, patios, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, hardscapes, and other outdoor living spaces. Most of your customers will be residential, but you can do projects for commercial buildings as well. Archadeck will help the customer design the project if they are unsure of what they want/need and offers two warranties that guarantee satisfaction.

Below tables taken from the Archadeck 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document – Item 19. There are 10 pages to the item 19.

Benefits for the Franchisee:

• High Ticket Sales – The average contract price for the customer is a whopping $42,946 according to tables in the item 19. You only need to do a handful of projects a month to get over $1 million in revenue.

• Large Territories – One territory is up to 600,000 in population. This is much larger than a typical home services franchise territory.

• Complementary Affiliate Brands – Empower Brands also has Outdoor Lighting Perspectives, Conserva Irrigation and Superior Fence & Rail under their umbrella. Each franchise could be a potential option for growth as you could service the same customers and own multiple brands.

• No Show Room – Most franchisees operate from their home, working typical 8-5 Monday through Friday hours. You may want to have an office or showroom in the future, but it’s not a requirement keeping the total investment fairly low.

• No Construction Experience Necessary – Archadeck is looking for operators who are strong at sales and marketing and have great communication skills. You will rely on corporate to help with 3D renderings and design of the projects.
