Scott Sutton</a>, chief growth officer of&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/thresholdbrands">Threshold Brands</a>. “This allows the businesses to operate on a highly mobile level, avoiding the costs and upkeep of brick-and-mortar retail spaces. As Threshold Brands acquires additional mobile brands, we will be able to make the booming home services market even more accessible to prospective franchisees.”<h4>Mobile Brands Require Lower Overhead Costs</h4>The mobile nature of many home services brands makes staffing and stocking a retail space optional, if not entirely unnecessary.&nbsp;For example, Threshold Brands’&nbsp;<a href="https://meninkiltsfranchising.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-threshold-brands-is-focusing-on-mobile-brands-2719208" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Men In Kilts</a> exterior cleaning franchise requires power washing equipment and a form of transport, but there is no need for an expansive office space or retail products. This leaves the brand’s&nbsp;<a href="https://meninkiltsfranchising.com/cost-comparison?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-threshold-brands-is-focusing-on-mobile-brands-2719208" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">initial investment</a> between $157,290 and $191,950, with $14,000 dedicated to equipment and as little as $1,275 required for real estate.Further, franchisees will save on month-to-month rental costs. According to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/1270865/retail-space-rent-usa/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-threshold-brands-is-focusing-on-mobile-brands-2719208" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Statista</a>, the month-to-month rent on retail spaces has been steadily climbing for the last decade.<h4>Mobile Options Provide a Lower Barrier to Entry</h4>While the monthly financial requirements of a brick-and-mortar retail space can be demanding, establishing that space is often one of the main contributors to a high barrier of entry.One of the most expensive portions of establishing a franchise location can be the buildout process. Some franchisees quickly exceed $500,000 or even $1 million in costs related to construction, furniture, equipment and associated architectural, zoning and contractor fees.<a href="https://www.heatingairparamedicsfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-threshold-brands-is-focusing-on-mobile-brands-2719208" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Heating + Air Paramedics</a>, a Threshold-backed HVAC concept, does not require a storefront, keeping the initial investment relatively low, ranging from $105,250 to $205,800, and allowing new franchisees to direct those funds toward training, marketing materials, and other business development efforts.<h4>A Return on Investment Can Be Made More Quickly</h4>In the absence of a mandated retail space, the onboarding process is streamlined; some franchisees can begin serving customers&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/heatingandairparamedics/why-2022-is-the-year-to-buy-a-heating-air-paramedics-franchise-2718131#featured">as little as three months after signing</a>.With the ability to jumpstart the business sooner, owners can build a strong network of customers more quickly and see a faster return on their investment.<h4>More Flexibility for Franchisees and Employees</h4>Rather than being committed to sitting in an office for eight or more hours every day, franchisees with mobile businesses can work when and where they please.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.maidprofranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-threshold-brands-is-focusing-on-mobile-brands-2719208" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">MaidPro</a>, a Threshold-backed home cleaning service, is marketed as a great business option for entrepreneurs who want to work a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.maidprofranchise.com/why-home-cleaning?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-threshold-brands-is-focusing-on-mobile-brands-2719208" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">flexible schedule</a> while maintaining a work-life balance that allows time for other personal ventures and family time.Many mobile businesses have access to a larger territory and number of clients due to their ability to travel to customers rather than rely on them to make a trip to a retail location.Further, while many mobile services primarily require equipment, any other inventory needs often consist of a small number of non-perishable products. This, inherently, reduces the time and immediacy needed to deal with any stocking concerns compared to a food services business, for example, that would require nearly consistent, timely inventory attention.
