Challenges of Starting a Painting Franchise
Risk
As with any entrepreneurial undertaking, there is a natural level of risk associated with opening a Painter1 franchise. Although being your own boss means you get to enjoy a new level of freedom, it also means that your income is directly related to how the business is doing — which can result in varying levels of earnings throughout the year. Many people find that the success of their painting business varies by season, particularly those with exterior painting offerings.
On the other hand, having a strong support system for your business can mitigate the amount of risk you take on. With Painter1, Franchise Owners own a piece of the franchise overall and enjoy benefits like mentorship programs and marketing help. This type of support and structure can help make starting up your business less risky.
Getting Started
Another challenge that gets in the way of many entrepreneurs who dream of starting their own painting business is the confusion and difficulty that often comes with getting started. Learning about licensing, hiring contractors, setting up customer management systems, and far more details can be extremely overwhelming. It’s helpful to have a structure to start from as a jumping off point. Franchise Owners with Painter1 enjoy powerful software for quoting and sales processing, as well as a built-in CRM with capabilities like automated communications and reporting. This way, a few key tools and frameworks are already in place for you as you get your new franchise off the ground!
Learning Curve
Leading a new business, even if you’ve been your own boss in the past, often comes with a steep learning curve. Doing it all from scratch is possible, but will usually entail plenty of trial and error, which can end up being more costly than desired. In some cases, mistakes can even follow your business if they result in unsatisfied customers. That’s why Franchise Owners with Painter1 have access to a mentor program that pairs new Franchise Owners with established ones who can shed light on their learning process and help with the heavy decision-making that comes with starting your own location. In addition, Painter1 offers support and training before you even begin on your journey, leaving you with the knowledge, skills and confidence to start your business on the right foot.
We'll help you achieve success, gain your freedom, find more time and grow your financial security within your own painting franchise.
