Speaker 2:
Let's do it.
Speaker 1:
This first one on the list is called Anchored Tiny Homes. I really this. I'm so excited about this franchise. Look, jill's like raising her hands up. She's so excited I'm excited.
Speaker 2:
I like tiny homes, they're cute.
Speaker 1:
I mean, if you think about it, with this real estate market doing what it's doing, becoming more and more expensive, with rates being what they are, to get yourself into a tiny home, yeah.
Speaker 2:
How cool yourself into a tiny home. Yeah, how cool would that be. Yeah, they're cool, they're uh anchor tiny homes. It's a family-owned business, so they've been doing this for a long time, which I love, um, and their mission is to create innovative living spaces that are like high quality, function, look nice. I mean kind of all of that combined together, and I mean they're looking at like the housing crisis, right. So we all know real estate is crazy right now, and so this kind of provides a solution to it.
Speaker 1:
Did they actually use the word crisis in there? They?
Speaker 2:
did. Why is it always a crisis?
Speaker 1:
There's always a crisis. There's either a boom or a crisis. Well, I'll tell you what. If you want to avoid a crisis, you should buy yourself a good business. That's how you get out of a crisis is you can invest yourself in a cash generating asset. That's true. Like a franchise. Like a franchise, and that's what we're here to help you guys do. So, from my end, first of all, we can save you $10,000 on your Anchored Tiny Homes. Is that like the cost of it, man? Could you imagine?
Speaker 2:
if it was, you could buy a house for you could buy it. I think they're like honestly close to that.
Speaker 1:
Well, we can save you $10,000 on your anchor tiny homes franchise. But let's get into it. How do we do that? How does franchise insiders generate that cashback rebate? Well, here's how it happens. We're, Jill and I are franchise consultants, and working with us is a lot like working with a real estate agent.
Speaker 1:
Think of us like a real estate agent. Just like you trust a realtor to help you find the right house, we help you find the right franchise. We've got 20 years in the business and we work with over 500 different franchises. There's over 3,500 franchises out there, by the way. Okay, but we learn about you. We have you take our super top secret personality franchisee personality tests and then we show you franchises where you match top performers.
Speaker 1:
Okay, so now let's say you become a franchise owner through a franchise that we introduce you to. That franchise pays our firm a commission because we don't work for free, and then we take a portion of that commission and we rebate it back to you and that's how we're able to save you two to $10,000 on most any franchise out there. So if you'd like to register for our discounts, I'm going to give you this number now at the top of the podcast, which is 305-710-0050. Just text us and let's set up a time to have a quick conversation and find you the right franchise. Okay, back to Anchor Tiny Homes. We can save you $10,000 on Anchor Tiny Homes and the average annual sales of an Anchor Tiny Homes is $1.3 million versus Jill a total investment of about $185,000. When you consider that what the franchise fee is like 50, 60 grand that means you're putting another 120,000 into working capital. It's a pretty, it's a pretty great ROI.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, I would say so.
Speaker 1:
So this is the first to market only ADU franchise on the market, and this is an executive ownership friendly franchise. What does that mean? That means you can keep your job while you build your franchise. Okay, next up on the list, jill. This is a business that will be needed in any economic condition, I promise you, oh yeah. You ready? 1-800-plumber-in-air.
Speaker 2:
Okay, how many times have you needed a plumber or an AC person at the worst time possible, in the middle of a drought or a heat wave or something, or actually? I just saw on our streets some pipe exploded. Every day and it was like flooding the whole thing and it's a need need base. I mean, obviously there's maintenance, but it's that immediate.
Speaker 1:
I need someone now, and we know that these disasters happen all the time all the time, all the time, always a plumbing disaster, especially when you have an eight, an eight year old boy in the house.
Speaker 2:
These guys, obviously they. You need their services, so that's not even a question. But they are, they provide, they're known to kind of provide the best experience for their customers. They have software that helps you ensure your business success, so they have online scheduling. They have everything. They set it up for you so that you like it's easy, it's seamless on the backend, so really you know your technicians whatever they're called will go in and get the job done, but the backend is all set up and they've provided that for you. So that makes things very, very easy.
Speaker 1:
Boom 1-800-PLUMBER and air.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, but I mean again, that is important when you're looking at it Because, yes, you are working with you know technicians, but the backend, where you have a dashboard and they have the call center and they have all the things helping you.
Speaker 1:
It just makes this type of business so much easier. Yeah, I love it. I love businesses like that. I mean, we own a window washing company, right, by the way, I don't know how to wash a window, do you?
Speaker 2:
Um, I I feel like maybe I'm kind of understanding the squeegee technique, but no, not really.
Speaker 1:
But our guys do. Yeah, and you know what? Our GM went to their training and he came back and he is an expert and he trains our team how to do it in half a day and now we have a whole team of window washing power washing experts. Because we chose a great franchise, Shameless promotion. Okay, Next up on the list Jill tippy toes. This you know what? This is? A brand that is built for women, by women, but men are certainly welcome too. Yeah, Tippy Toes is a. It's a dancing franchise. Yes, yeah.
Speaker 1:
Little kids dancing. Yeah, but you know what's interesting?
Speaker 2:
It says it's a mobile franchise that requires no brick and mortar, so you don't have to have a studio that's great when you teach classes or lessons at locations? My guess is like schools or community clubs, or maybe private, I'm not sure.
Speaker 1:
But um, we went to a dance competition we went to a huge dance competition this week or a showcase.
Speaker 2:
It wasn't necessarily a competition, but um. The amount of of adorable little girls that are doing this is huge, and I personally know that a lot of them do get private lessons on the side too, so it's not even like a competition with a local dance studio. It could be in addition to um and then also providing especially with the those little ones. The little girls are the cutest when they're out there. They're not very good, but they're adorable. But it shows you that this is something that you can start from.
Speaker 1:
So I mean you should have seen it, guys. I wish you could have been at the Boca dance studio with us, that's very cool, but anyway, dance is a very big deal.
Speaker 2:
Girls are always dancing. There's different levels, so some are competitive and some aren't. Why are you laughing?
Speaker 1:
Girls are always dancing.
Speaker 2:
Our little girls are always dancing. It's like what you do. Not everyone you know dances for the rest of their life, but it's a great activity for little girls. Would you stop?
Speaker 1:
Let's talk about the average sales that I have reported and tippy toes. If I have this wrong, you tell me. Um, average sales 143,000. Total investment about 67,000143,000. Total investment about $67,000 to $84,000.
Speaker 1:
But you know what's cool, joe? Like you said, it's a mobile concept. I can tell you someone we own a mobile franchise ourselves. Here's what's interesting. So our Pinks franchise we spend about $85 a month on rent. We have a friend that owns a cookie franchise and she probably spends about $5,000 a month on rent. For her, a good day is $2,000. We just did a single job for $3,000. Mobile franchises are awesome. So kudos to Tippy Toes because this you can have a client for a really long time. You should see the branding on this thing Really good looking brand, good people. I know they're working their butts off to support their franchisees. When you consider the investment, I mean you should be able to make your money back within a couple of years and if you buy enough units, you could scale up a nice little empire. So tippy toes, texas, 305710050. Jill will definitely be taking your call on that one. Next up on the list Jill Stan Strong Fencing. Oh, hold on Tippy Toast, we can save you 10 grand. That's a hell of a rebate on a franchise.
Speaker 2:
That is a good rebate.
Speaker 1:
I mean it's nearly 10%. Okay, stan Strong, fencing Jill. This is a fencing franchise and I'm going to tell you guys something Fencing franchises and I'm just going to keep it to the high points on this one. Fencing franchises have always been great, great revenue generators, so it's no shock to me that people buy them all the time. The gross revenue on Stan strong is $1.5 million and that's achieved with part-time sales with a part-time sales rep. The EBITDA they say, after all fees are paid, is 245,000. So that means they could turn around and sell that thing for $700,000. That's pretty huge. The average tickets $5,300.
Speaker 2:
Right Fence costs money.
Speaker 1:
Yeah.
Speaker 2:
They're not cheap.
Speaker 1:
How many subcontractors did they have on this business? Jill One One, just one. No real estate's required, no inventory needed. Another mobile business, go figure. Your franchise consultants who are here hosting the podcast, don't have a brick and mortar franchise. Stan Strong Fencing doesn't have a brick and mortar franchise, it's not saying that brick and mortar is bad.
Speaker 2:
It's just an option, it's something to keep in mind, it's a way to keep your costs down.
Speaker 1:
Heck, yeah, yeah, no, I think you should have both. I mean in the right market. We talk about brick and mortar all the time. Just saying paying $85 a month rent versus $5,000 seems like a good deal. Stan Strong is a cool franchise and it's brought to you by some really good folks. We can save you $10,000 on it. Let's talk about what the investment is on this guy. Franchise fee is $59,500. Total investment about $300,000. I think that's fair.
Speaker 1:
Okay, next up on the list, last up on the list, you'll rolling sides. Rolling sides is always being invested in because power washing is a great business. We can save you 2K on rolling sides. Here's what I have Jill Rolling side shows $2.2 million in average annual revenue with $818,000 in average net profit. So let's think about this as power washing, window washing franchise owners ourselves. That's the average power washing truck does about $300,000 a year in revenue. So that's about a seven truck operation and you probably get about three trucks into a territory. So they've got about what amounts to two territories. It's it's a great business. It's a niche business. Now rolling says does the real heavy duty power washing? They get like the big truck and they can blast your roof and they can do it, and like he, you should say like three minutes.
Speaker 1:
I don't know, there's something ridiculous 23 minutes to blast to completely power wash a 3000 square foot house. Yeah, that's the power of power washing. And rolling sides is like he's awarded hundreds. They have awarded hundreds of locations. So if you want to diversify into a business, you would work full time as the owner who works on the business, not in it. Rolling sides is a great franchise to consider. Yeah, so, jill, that's, that's really what I have. One other thing of note there is an Elements Massage franchise for sale in Nashville. This franchise is for sale for $300,000. It did $915,000 over the past 12 months, so the asking price is somewhat fair. So again, if you want to talk to us about what franchises might be for sale in your area, both new and existing, we're happy to do it. Text us 305-710-0050. But, jill, for this episode, that's all I've got. What do you got?
Speaker 2:
I think it's a good mix.
Speaker 1:
We've said it all.
Speaker 2:
We've said it all, we've talked about it, but again, I think that the key is check out the mobile ones, check out the mobile franchises. There's something to them, especially if it's any kind of service provided. It's just one less thing. There's no build out, there's no rent. It's one expense that you really don't have to think about and they're doing very well. So we saw a lot of that this week. I think it's cool to keep in mind that you know your dream may be to own a cookie franchise, or you know something that you see, that you go to every single day. But remember, it's more than that and we're here to show you that.
Speaker 1:
My dream is to eat cookies.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, I don't want to go there and bake at 6 in the morning. I'll just pick up a cookie. So morning I'll just pick up a cookie. So I would like for you guys to cookie franchises. We will be your customers. No, but I do think that just really getting out of that mindset that franchises are what we see in strip malls. It's way beyond that.
Speaker 1:
Hey, and I've got a shout out to our other podcast. It's called we Bought a Franchise. We just had a terrific guest on Matt Zastrow, who's been a client of ours since 2017.
