Many small business owners find themselves between a rock and a hard place, whether that be the result of lack of resources, industry changes or, more recently, consequences of the pandemic. The decision to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.heatingairparamedicsfranchise.com/convert?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-heating-air-paramedics-provides-conversion-opportunities-for-existing-businesses-2719523" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">convert an independent small business to a franchise</a> allows owners to maintain control over their business while gaining the support that exists with a supportive network of franchise coaches and other franchise owners<a href="https://www.heatingairparamedics.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-heating-air-paramedics-provides-conversion-opportunities-for-existing-businesses-2719523" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Heating + Air Paramedics’</a> first franchisees, Missie and Dave Carlile, took the conversion route for this very purpose.“While businesses nationwide were forced to shutter as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the majority of the brands under the Threshold umbrella were able to continue operations, and some even saw a spike in demand,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/rscottsutton/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-heating-air-paramedics-provides-conversion-opportunities-for-existing-businesses-2719523" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">R. Scott Sutton</a>, chief growth officer at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thresholdbrands.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-heating-air-paramedics-provides-conversion-opportunities-for-existing-businesses-2719523" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Threshold Brands</a>. “Now, the demand for home services is continuing to grow in cities across the country, and we are thrilled to welcome new franchise owners like Missie and Dave to help meet the needs of their local community.”&nbsp;The Carliles had spent three decades in the HVAC industry when the consequences of the pandemic forced them to choose between pivoting or closing their doors. After discovering Heating + Air Paramedics, one of the many brands under the Threshold Brands umbrella, they began considering a conversion.After meeting with the brand’s leadership, they quickly realized that the support available with Heating + Air Paramedics and Threshold Brands would be the perfect solution to allow them to continue operating and even further scale their business.“Small companies like us aren’t what they used to be,” said Dave. “Google is the new phone book, and if you’re not heavily present there, you’re going to struggle. With the guidance from Heating + Air Paramedics, we get the support, marketing tools and presence that most larger companies have.”&nbsp;As Heating + Air Paramedics continues to grow, President&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-carpenter-43900239/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-heating-air-paramedics-provides-conversion-opportunities-for-existing-businesses-2719523" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Ryan Carpenter</a> encourages business people in similar situations to consider joining the team.“Heating + Air Paramedics started as&nbsp; a small, independent business. After years of operations, we realized that we wanted to bring our small-town service to more and more clients, and the support of Threshold Brands made this go a lot more smoothly,” Carpenter said. “After joining Threshold in 2021, I’ve experienced firsthand the process to convert from a mom and pop to a franchise, and it’s absolutely worth it.”The conversion process itself is incredibly simple. Though owners will need to change their name and any branded materials, they maintain control over daily operations, now with the addition of hands-on coaching, proprietary software to handle things like sales and work orders, and a strong recruiting staff to aid in team growth.According to Threshold Brands, “Most independent service companies hit a glass ceiling that hinders them from continual growth. We’ve discovered that by adding a few unique tools in just the right way you can break through that glass ceiling and begin to grow again.”The initial investment to open a Heating + Air Paramedics franchise ranges from $102,250 - $205,800 for new franchises (which includes a $40,000 franchise fee).
