Aspiring Franchise Owners

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 week, our featured resale comes from Five Star Painting, a residential and commercial painting franchise that offers both interior and exterior services. Five Star Painting, a Neighborly brand, has been franchising since 2007 and has 230 units throughout the country.

• Opened July 2018

• Asking price of ~$199,000 (PRICE RECENTLY REDUCED)

• 2023 Revenue of $660,000

• Cash Flow: Request info below- NDA Required

• Residential and commercial customers

• 2 employees

• Opportunity to increase marketing and obtain more customers in a sizeable territory

• Owners have three other businesses. All reasonable offers will be considered.

• This resale opportunity has been on the market for several months, & recently had a price reduction. Five Star Painting is a solid brand within the Neighborly umbrella. According to the most recent FDD we have access to, the Item 19 shows an average job size for painting projects to be $4,436.

• The business model typically uses subcontractors to do the actual painting jobs, which can keep your overhead and salaried labor low. If interested in this resale opportunity, we suggest understanding the current employees’ roles in the business and how many subcontractors the business has in rotation to utilize.

• Lastly, Sarasota is a fast-growing area with seemingly a lot of potential. It seems like an opportunity to get into a turnkey home services franchise and grow it quickly.

Emmanuel worked as a service advisor in Luxury car dealerships. He had some side hustles, but not enough to provide the Full Time income he was looking for.

Originally he joined our Zero to Profitable Franchise acquisition system and was going to buy a franchise with his brother, but that fell through. So he decided to stick with it and do it on his own.

Our team came across a turnaround resale for pretty cheap, where 2 previous franchises had not done well in that territory .

Since the brand was established and had a lot of successful franchisees, Emmanuel felt comfortable & confident to pull the trigger.

He is CRUSHING it, and I recently did a “day in the life” video with him and visited some job sites, and he shared some intimate details and numbers about his business.

You can watch that video here.

Archadeck is the world’s largest custom design builder of custom decks, screened porches, open porches, gazebos, hot tub enclosures, patios, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, hardscapes, and other outdoor living spaces. Most of your customers will be residential, but you can do projects for commercial buildings as well. Archadeck will help the customer design the project if they are unsure of what they want/need and offers two warranties that guarantee satisfaction.

Below tables taken from the Archadeck 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document – Item 19. There are 10 pages to the item 19.

A(1) Combined Multi-Territory and Single-Territory Franchisees

A(2) Single-Territory Franchisees Only

A(3) Multi-Territory Franchisees Only

Benefits for the Franchisee:

• High Ticket Sales – The average contract price for the customer is a whopping $42,946 according to tables in the item 19. You only need to do a handful of projects a month to get over $1 million in revenue.

• Large Territories – One territory is up to 600,000 in population. This is much larger than a typical home services franchise territory.

• Complementary Affiliate Brands – Empower Brands also has Outdoor Lighting Perspectives, Conserva Irrigation and Superior Fence & Rail under their umbrella. Each franchise could be a potential option for growth as you could service the same customers and own multiple brands.

• No Show Room – Most franchisees operate from their home, working typical 8-5 Monday through Friday hours. You may want to have an office or showroom in the future, but it’s not a requirement, keeping the total investment fairly low.

• No Construction Experience Necessary – Archadeck is looking for operators who are strong at sales and marketing and have great communication skills. You will rely on corporate to help with 3D renderings and design of the projects.
