That’s really not happening yet, people seem to be sitting tight where they are and waiting. In addition to franchise development momentum, Seman says the Strategic team has been working on several other exciting initiatives so far this year. This includes welcoming new funding partners and hiring a new VP of Sales for Pet Wants, as well as launching new digital marketing campaigns and hosting a training conference for Fresh Coat Painters. “Across all of our brands, we’ve continued to develop consistent programs that help our franchise owners achieve success and remain competitive,” said Seman. Each of the five concepts under the Strategic Franchising Systems umbrella offers franchise owners an array of attractive benefits. Every brand starts off home-based, which allows owners to keep operating costs significantly lower than those of competitors. New owners can reap the rewards of this uniquely robust, multi-brand franchise system where they can confidently refer business to each other, attend national conferences with all five brands participating and benefit from national account opportunities. - The total investment required to start a Fresh Coat franchise ranges from $66,150 - $96,250. - The total investment required to start a Caring Transitions franchise ranges from $58,912 to $82,712. - The total investment costs to open a Growth Coach franchise ranges from $42,000 to $63,900. - The total investment necessary to begin the operation of a Pet Wants Scalable Storefront Model ranges from $70,330 to $202,000. - The total investment estimate to begin operations for a TruBlue franchise ranges from $65,050 to $91,400. Overall, the Strategic Franchising Systems company expects to award 170 new territories in 2023 to new and existing owners seeking greater control, freedom, fulfillment and financial success in their professional lives. “With everything that we’ve done last year and already this year, we are expecting another dynamite year of growth in 2023,” said Seman. “The time has truly never been better to join the SFS family.” Strategic Franchising Systems has been creating and providing affordable franchise business models to help people achieve their dreams for over 30 years. The franchise development company has five unique home-based, low-cost franchise opportunities: Nationally recognized painting franchise Fresh Coat, senior home-relocation and estate sales concept Caring Transitions, business and sales coaching concept The Growth Coach, fast-growing natural pet food and pet grooming brand Pet Wants and the only national provider of total house care, inside and out, for seniors and busy families, TruBlue.
