## Story

Chris Seman, President of multi-brand franchisor Strategic Franchising Systems, was recently featured on The Success Chronicles podcast, where he spoke about his own personal journey, his reasons for getting into franchising, his proudest accomplishments, and more.

“We help the average person get into business ownership — we are franchising for everybody,” said Seman. “People think you have to have a million dollars in the bank before you can launch a business, but we try to bring business ownership to the masses with our concepts, whether it be a senior relocation company like Caring Transitions, a professional paint organization like Fresh Coat Painters or an organic pet food delivery company like Pet Wants.”

Every SFS brand is affordable and home-based to start, which allows owners to keep operating costs significantly lower than competitors. The costs associated with starting a franchise will vary across the five concepts, but all offer competitively low initial investment requirements, ranging from $40,000 to $202,000.

As part of this strategy to stand behind their proven business models and franchise owners, SFS also offers an industry-unique Winner's Circle Program, which over time reimburses franchisees for up to their entire franchise fee as they achieve certain performance milestones.
