Chandler, Ariz. (April 23, 2010) – In a tough job
economy, many unemployed are
reinventing themselves by turning to self-employment with
franchise opportunities.
A franchise investment represents a means to replace a job, or
better, create a new way of
life. For the first-time businessperson, franchising provides
greater security since he or
she is operating under a proven formula that removes considerable
uncertainty. If
successful, owners can expand beyond the initial investment and
even move into a
different business.
Years of continued success with his garage floor coating business
inspired Chandler
resident Shannon Stevens to franchise his IronDrive Coatings
business more than a year
ago. In business since 1992, IronDrive Coatings offers quality
installation of garage floor,
driveway, walkway and pool deck coatings. The company’s innovative
epoxy garage
floor coating system is easy to apply and takes one third of the
time of other application
processes to dry, and all for considerably less than the typical
cost.
“I decided to franchise IronDrive because I have a solid
foundation that anyone can
adapt,” Stevens said. “I have a successful business model and a
unique product that
outperforms the competition.”
Stevens sees his franchise as a good business choice because of
the affordable entry cost
and low overhead, but also as an opportunity for those who enjoy
seeing the results of
their efforts at the end of the day.
“My franchisees enjoy high profit margins and a unique competitive
advantage,” he said.
“But best of all, the franchise comes with the opportunity to be
your own boss and build
your own business.”
Franchising experts claim that in today’s economy, a time-tested,
how-to business model
from a franchise such as IronDrive Coatings offers people a
greater likelihood of success
than starting out on their own.
“Franchising lets people get into business for themselves, but not
by themselves,”
Stevens said. “To me, franchising is entrepreneurship with
training wheels.”
Franchising opportunities such as Stevens’ have some of the
strongest returns on
investment around. Service businesses are among the best values
now, partly due to their
low cost of entry, high demand and strong margins.
In past recessions, the number of franchises has actually grown
faster than it has in good
times. Currently, franchised businesses make up 11 percent of the
U.S. private-sector
economy and take in 41 percent of every retail dollar spent. There
are more than 1
million franchise owners in the U.S.
For Stevens, the troubled economy has not stopped people from
using his service.
“The garage floor coating industry has proven to be pretty
recession proof,” Stevens said.
“My business continues to grow, and now is the time for me to help
other entrepreneurs
to grow their own businesses as well.”
