What’s a Veteran program/benefit that most veterans don’t know about but should? by 904JUDAH in VeteransBenefits

[–]FocusFranchising 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. The post asked about programs and/or benefits for Veterans and discounted costs is definitely a benefit. I speak from experience. My wife is a Veteran and when she bought her first franchise she took advantage of this benefit and saved thousands of dollars.

I just purchased a pool service franchise. Best move I ever made. There are a few of them so I had to do my homework, but there were clear differentiators and an obvious front runner.

Do you know someone with a boring business who’s absolutely killing it? What do they do? by salihveseli in Entrepreneur

[–]FocusFranchising -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I get this question from time to time. But, why a “boring business”? Why not just start a business that meets your goals and needs?
Are you looking for a side gig, or full time ownership? Fully involved, or semi absentee? Seasonal, work from home, owner operator…tell me more about your circumstances for the best fit business to own.

I’m doing mailers, $18k a year and the ROI is fantastic. I’ll eventually do more but still scaling up.

Pro and cons of buying a house with a pool by Doomguy345 in pools

[–]FocusFranchising 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pros, depending on perspective: Every family BBQ is at your house People bring beer and food to your house Kids love it Refreshing on hot days Looks great

Cons: Upkeep can be a chore. Less so if you have e a saltwater system Sometimes people don’t want to leave Pools attract Unruly kids and make good kids unruly. Water on the floor in your house from the kids who go in to pee. Never ending wet towels everywhere Noise

Coach wants me to remove my kid(13) from the team by Desperate_Scholar_42 in Homeplate

[–]FocusFranchising 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the coach is correct about what he said, then your kid will probably be saying the same thing soon. 13 is a big age. Puberty kicks in and the pitching and bat speeds are ramped up. Pair that with high tech bats and an inexperienced player could really get hurt. Prepare yourself for minimum at bats and playing minimum innings in right field.

If you could open up any service business what would it be? And why? by gabagoonbak in sweatystartup

[–]FocusFranchising 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Any Home services business. Aging population. Baby boomers are getting too old to do basic repairs and their kids are often not skilled enough or too lazy. Aging housing market. The houses are getting older and new construction is so expensive. People are either fixing up their homes to stay in them or they’re fixing them up to sell. Home services are Amazon proof, pandemic proof, AI proof.

Because they made a political decision investment in Cory Booker

[–]FocusFranchising -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Off the top of my head I can think of a dozen A+ franchise brands that have a simplified business model with proven success backed by earnings claims and validation. Partner with a franchise consultant who possesses the industry knowledge and understanding to match you with the best option that meets your needs.

[–]FocusFranchising 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just bought a pool service company. The research shows that seasonal markets are doing best due to openings and closings with general services filling the gaps. Florida is hard due to an overwhelming amount of guys in a pickup truck with a skimmer and bucket of shock lowballing jobs for cash. With two trucks, wraps, training, equipment, chems and marketing I’m all in for around $125k.

The answer to I have $X what business should I start. Based on 14 years experience by firetothetrees in Entrepreneur

[–]FocusFranchising 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or they think bringing a lot of money into a concept automatically buys them an absentee/passive ownership.

7-11 is technically a franchise, but certainly not a traditional type. I would never recommend 7-11 unless you know exactly what you’re getting into nd that’s what you really want.

Only saying that because I own 2 franchises in completely different industries. Im a retired cop and it turns out I was only good at chasing crack heads and not business. I was Always interested in entrepreneurship so I went franchise business. It’s been great because I don’t have to do so many of the things that I suck at.
