From Crypto to Cabinetry: Building a Business That Works for Family

Michael came to us as a savvy investor with a clear goal: find a franchise that delivers strong ROI, has scalable systems, and can eventually support his family full-time. With a background in crypto and vending machines, he knew the value of passive income—but wanted something more structured and sustainable.

Our team worked closely with Michael to define a clear set of criteria based on his financial goals, skill set, and long-term vision—including his desire to involve family and give his wife the option to leave her corporate job. From there, we did the heavy lifting: sourcing and vetting a short list of service-based franchises—especially in home improvement and pet care—that aligned with his goals.

After a thorough evaluation and guided due diligence process, Michael landed on a home improvement franchise that checked all his boxes. He’s now the proud owner of two territories near Katy, Texas, and on track to build a business that supports both financial growth and family freedom
