As home-buying booms in communities across the country, the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-03-25/do-it-yourself-projects-fuel-419-billion-home-renovation-boom?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-the-renovation-sells-team-approaches-home-design-based-on-market-2718951" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">$419 billion renovation industry</a> has continued to see growth. Renovation Sells is uniquely positioned for success with its proven business model and streamlined process making home listings appeal to Millennials, the majority of homebuyers today.&nbsp;“Buyers want&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/renovationsells/how-renovation-sells-turns-any-home-listing-into-an-instagram-ready-buyers-dream-2715708#featured">move-in ready homes</a> right now&nbsp;—&nbsp;the types of homes they see on social media,” said Briana Gershenzon, Chief Design Officer. “That is what they are used to seeing and that is their expectation, especially as more buyers purchase homes online. Buyers are also willing to pay more for move-in ready homes, and now that inventory is low, sellers can be confident they will get multiple bids above asking price if the home is visually appealing.”&nbsp;&nbsp;But sellers don’t always have the money or the time to make those much-needed renovations, which is where Renovation Sells comes in. “Our purpose is to offer affordable and timely renovations, specifically designed for the wants of the future buyer, so that everyone involved — the buyer, the seller and the Realtor — have a great experience,” Gershenzon says.Renovation Sells owners can be confident they will have all the&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/renovationsells/chicago-business-owners-take-the-stress-out-of-renovation-process-with-new-home-remodeling-franchise-2714055#brand-latest-stories">resources</a> they need to provide these in-demand services to clients. This includes marketing support, project guidance, and most importantly, design expertise that is tailored to their specific market.“Every new owner goes through a design research phase during onboarding and is supported by a Designer familiar with their local real estate market and the specific preferences of homeowners in the area,” said Gershenzon. “What works in Denver may not work in Dallas, for example. The Designer and franchisee will look at homes that are selling for over asking-price and isolate design trends. They will even go as far as to research local interior designers and see if there are regional style preferences they can emulate on a more affordable budget. By learning those trends, franchisees can feel confident they are putting the best design forward when a project comes through.”Once a franchisee secures a job, the design is handled by the Renovation Sells corporate team, so franchisees don’t need to have design expertise. “By providing a customized design board for each project's target buyer, our builders don't have to waste time selecting finishes and materials,” said Gershenzon. “We develop the design on their behalf, and they can simply present the options to the client and get to work on the chosen model.”&nbsp;Since Renovation Sells franchisees will be working&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/renovationsells/why-renovation-sells-is-becoming-every-real-estate-agents-new-best-friend-2714057#brand-latest-stories">directly with real estate agents</a>, Gershenzon says this design-forward business model is primed to revolutionize the industry.“We are targeting real estate agents who may be coordinating updating their clients' homes for their clients —&nbsp;they are hiring a painter, hiring someone to refinish the floors,” said Gershenzon. “It is on the agent to pick the paint colors, the light fixtures, the materials. By combining a design-forward service with construction at the middle level, we stand out as a valued partner for Realtors. There are high-end, design-build firms that will bring in a designer for a $200,000 project, but Realtors don’t normally have access to a designer for a $20,000 project. That really sets the franchisee apart, and Realtors love it because it makes them look good, which gets them more clients, and keeps them coming back to us.”Renovation Sells also works with franchisees’ local vendors to ensure cost-effective and timely updates. “If a franchisee identifies a local vendor they’d like to use, our team will research that vendor and offer selections that will install easily and be aesthetically appealing in that market,” Gershenzon said.Since launching their&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/renovationsells/why-this-consulting-expert-and-high-school-teacher-invested-in-renovation-sells-2717662#featured">first franchisees</a> earlier this year, CEO Michael Valente says the Renovation Sells team has been excited to see how this market-specific design model has proven to work across the country.“We are taking a forward-thinking approach to real estate, and it is paying off,” said Valente. “Our franchisees are already landing large jobs, and those homes are selling quickly with great ROI for the Realtors in different markets because of the beautiful design put forth by our team. The model works regardless of the area, and the response nationally from the Realtors and homeowners has been amazing. All over the country, it is clear that pre-sale renovations are here to stay.”&nbsp;For more information, visit:&nbsp;<a href="https://franchise.renovationsells.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-the-renovation-sells-team-approaches-home-design-based-on-market-2718951" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://franchise.renovationsells.com/</a>

How much can franchisees make? It’s a question many prospective owners ask before investing in a franchise. While earnings tend to be driven by variables such as industry, location and general management skills, a proper understanding of the key factors driving profitability can help franchise owners develop expectations that are realistic.&nbsp;Multi-unit franchisee&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/mangesh-patel-9368569/">Mangesh Patel</a>, who’s readying the launch of six&nbsp;<a href="https://www.beefobradysfranchise.com/">Beef ‘O’ Brady’s</a> restaurant locations in the Macon, Georgia area, shares insights from his franchising experience.<h2>Understanding Franchise Income</h2>Keeping operational costs in check can have a major impact on overall earnings. Taking a proactive approach to expenses such as food and labor, as well as payroll and scheduling, can help align actual franchise income with general expectations for the business.“I just had a meeting with a couple of people, and they said, ‘You talked about a 25% profit margin, but I’m only doing 12%.’ So, I looked at the figures they sent me,” Patel said. “Their&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/calculate-restaurant-franchise-profit-2730476">restaurant</a> food cost was running at 37%, which should be around 30%. The national average is about 32%. If I do things correctly, my average food cost needs to be at or below 30%. And payroll should run around 18%. But many people run 25 to 28%.”So,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/unraveling-franchise-earnings-how-much-can-you-really-make-2723935">how much can franchisees make</a>? Here are five areas to consider.<h2>Practical Tips for Prospective Franchisees</h2><ol><li>Control Costs From Day One:&nbsp;It’s important to monitor payroll, food and supply costs closely. Overstaffing and inefficiencies can quickly reduce profits.</li><li>Plan For The Opening Surge:&nbsp;Traffic within the first few months of opening is likely to be higher. It’s important to adjust staffing and inventory accordingly, and pay close attention to how those levels change as time goes on.</li><li>Invest In Training:&nbsp;Properly trained workers can help reduce waste and improve overall service, which has a direct effect on net income.</li><li>Understand Your Market:&nbsp;Each market is unique and revenue potential will vary depending upon location, demographics and competition.</li><li>Track Metrics Regularly:&nbsp;Food cost percentages, labor ratios and weekly sales data act as key indicators operations may need to be adjusted.</li></ol><h2>What Profitability Really Comes Down To</h2>Patel notes that if franchise owners manage labor and costs properly, it’s not impossible to achieve strong cash flow even in the first year, bucking some franchising trends.So,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/how-much-can-you-make-as-a-franchise-owner-2724761">how much can franchisees make</a>? While results tend to vary, careful planning, disciplined operations and a proactive approach to assessing initial costs are essential.

How Much Can Franchisees Make? A Guide for Prospective Franchise Owners

Understanding&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/how-much-money-do-i-need-to-buy-a-franchise-a-guide-2730910">the total investment</a> required for a franchise is one of the first questions prospective franchise owners ask. While the answer can vary widely depending on brand, industry and market, knowing what goes into it can help entrepreneurs evaluate opportunities realistically (and avoid costly surprises).So, what&nbsp;is the total investment required for a franchise? The total investment reflects everything needed to open and operate the business and adequately navigate its early stages, from buildout to working capital.<h2>Why The Total Investment Matters</h2>Transparency is important. Investment details should be front and center early in the discovery process. It should also be a significant element of the franchise development website for any business opportunity.“The most visited page is the initial investment/start-up cost,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://thejointfranchise.com/">The Joint Chiropractic</a> Senior Vice President, Development&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/cmsherwood/">Craig Sherwood</a>. “This is not a surprise. This question is almost always the first a candidate will ask during the initial phone call. It’s critical for a brand to be transparent with not just the initial investment information but the royalties and fees associated with becoming a franchisee.”Developing an accurate understanding of the full financial picture required allows potential zees to assess affordability, tolerance for risk and long-term expectations (before moving ahead or signing a franchise agreement).<h2>What Goes Into The Total Investment?</h2>While every franchise system is different, the total investment required typically includes several core components. “The investment range includes three months of operating costs, the franchise fee and related expenses,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.simplycabinetryfranchising.com/">Simply Cabinetry</a> owner and CEO&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/dianasimmons-simplycabinetry/">Diana Simmons</a>. So, what is the total investment required for a franchise?&nbsp;Here are five components:<ul><li>Franchise Fee – The upfront fee paid to join the franchisor system and access the brand, training and support available. &nbsp;</li><li>Buildout and Equipment – Costs tied to general construction, leasehold improvements, signage, fixtures and equipment. &nbsp;</li><li>Inventory and Opening Supplies – The initial product, materials or inventory required to open. &nbsp;</li><li>Working Capital – The funds needed to cover payroll, marketing and operating expenses during the first few months of operation. &nbsp;</li><li>Ongoing Fees – Royalties, marketing contributions, technology expenditures and other recurring fees outlined in the franchise disclosure document (FDD).</li></ul><h2>Making An Informed Investment Decision</h2>So, what is the total investment required for a franchise?&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/how-much-capital-is-needed-to-buy-a-franchise-2716989">The amount required</a> to launch a franchise opportunity can range from tens of thousands to several hundred thousand dollars, or more, depending on the industry, concept and recognition of the brand. That’s why a thorough review of FDD Item 7 (estimated initial investment) and consultation of experienced franchise counsel is crucial.A clear understanding of the total investment required to start a franchise can help candidates navigate the process more effectively. By asking questions early and thoroughly evaluating costs, franchisees can determine whether a brand aligns with their financial goals, laying the foundation for long-term success.Want to learn more about franchise opportunities on 1851 Franchise?
