1851: Who is buying franchises right now and what type of activity are you seeing?&nbsp;

Daniel Neveu, Franchise Sales Consultant at <a href="https://salonsbyjc.com/franchise/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franchise-forecast-daniel-neveu-of-salons-by-jc-2710381" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">Salons by JC</a>: People with a net worth of $1 million to $2 million. Right now it costs around $700,000 to build one of our franchises, but it&rsquo;s extremely profitable, with a margin of around 35%.

1851: What&#39;s the number one thing franchisees are looking for in the conversations that you&#39;re having with prospects?&nbsp;

Neveu: They&rsquo;re trying to find out if the risk is worth the effort because there&rsquo;s limited financing to be a part of the business. On paper, salon suites can look like the worst business, but the reality is that the industry is booming. We&rsquo;ve got 10-15 years of growth; this is a good time to get in.

1851: Do you have an ideal franchisee in your system, and what are their qualities?&nbsp;

Neveu: Most of our franchisees are absentee; some prefer to work in the business, some don&rsquo;t.&nbsp;Our ideal franchisee is someone who wants to be absentee or semi-absentee, someone who cares for people and is interested in making a difference. It&rsquo;s a very lucrative business, and at the end of the day, it&rsquo;s not a complicated business to run, so they have some freedom and work/life balance. Once the business is established, there are not too many headaches to contend with.&nbsp;

1851: What&#39;s one thing prospective franchisees should know about your brand and franchising in general before buying?

Neveu:&nbsp;At Salons by JC, we allow stylists to operate on their own in a building that we configure into individual suites. It&rsquo;s a luxurious setting that they can personalize. We help provide the tenant with a great environment; clean, professional settings help attract the best stylists in the industry. We have a concierge service inside the building for at least 40 hours per week.
