Franchise resales possess many benefits for aspiring business owners – established cash flow, experienced employees, systems in place, and brand awareness to name a few.

• This is a great opportunity for a Full Time owner to come in, hit the ground running and really grow a business that has had a solid foundation built- with a booked schedule of 2-4 weeks out with clients.
• I think there’s an opportunity to negotiate the price here- or at least I would.
• This brand is owned by HFC (Home Franchise Concepts) who also owns Budget Blinds, Advanta Clean, Kitchen Tune Up, and more. So you will have strong backing and support.

Andy Tribble spent over 30 years in transportation logistics and recently stepped away from his role as president after his company was acquired. Ready for a new chapter, he set out to find a franchise that could replace his corporate income within a few years and give him something to be proud of.

With his wife, Dacia, recovering from back surgery but planning to take on day-to-day operations, they were both intentional about finding the right fit. After exploring several options, Cabinet IQ stood out for its strong leadership, smart technology, and sharp marketing.

After a hands-on Discovery Day, they committed to three territories. Andy and Dacia, we’re thrilled to support you as you build a business with real potential for growth and legacy!

AireServ franchisees install, maintain and repair residential and commercial heating, ventilating, air conditioning and indoor air quality equipment, perform related services and sell related products. The ideal Aire Serv franchise owner is a high-energy person who loves serving customers and enjoys leading a team. You do not need any HVAC experience to become an Aire Serv franchise owner! You do need to be able to follow and execute a marketing plan, encourage and mentor your employees, and stay involved in your local community.

Benefits for the Franchisee:

• Discounts on Equipment – Aire Serv offers more rebates on equipment than any other Neighborly brand.

Episode #102: Advice from a New Franchisee with a Young Family

This week, I sit down with Patrick O’Connor, a first-time franchisee who walked away from a career in corporate philanthropy to build something of his own. Patrick shares how he started his Painter1 franchise while raising two young kids, the financial strategies that made it possible, and what he learned through the franchisee validation process.

We talk about the mindset shift required to go from employee to owner, how to choose between buying a resale or starting from scratch, and why having the right support system is non-negotiable. If you’re serious about franchising, this conversation will give you a clear view of what it really takes and how to move forward with intention.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy the episode!
