Top 5 Reasons to Buy an Anchored Tiny Homes Franchise

With over two dozen territories established and proven multi-million-dollar revenue potential, Anchored Tiny Homes is taking the franchise space by storm. As it expands in multiple markets across the country, it presents a strong opportunity for franchisees to break into a lucrative but meaningful accessory dwelling unit (ADU) market while building a business for themselves and a legacy for their families.

“The Anchored Tiny Homes business opportunity is truly unique,” said Colton Paulhus, co-founder and CEO. “We have the market availability and flexibility of an emerging franchise, but it’s paired with the expertise of a well-established business given the corporate team has already established 10 incredibly successful operating territories.”

Here are five reasons to consider buying a franchise with Anchored Tiny Homes.

A Passionate, Dedicated Leadership Team

The Paulhus family first broke into the accessory dwelling unit (ADU) business after they realized they could meet a substantial demand in their own communities. Though the team has facilitated the construction of hundreds of tiny homes since their foray into the industry, the leadership of Anchored Tiny Homes continues to be committed to creating more affordable housing opportunities across the country.

“Affordable, secure housing is the foundation of the American Dream,” said Paulhus. “Being able to provide a ‘home base’ for my family where they can feel secure and create memories has been such a meaningful experience, and our franchisees are giving others in their communities the opportunity to do the same by increasing housing access.”

Jim Sanders, a franchisee with Anchored Tiny Homes, notes the team’s passion and dedication as one of the primary reasons he felt confident in his investment.

“I looked at the success of the territories in California and, knowing that there was a demand for affordable housing in my own community, figured I could replicate that, so I went out and met Colton, his brother, and his father,” said Sanders. “They seemed like honest people. Everything was done professionally, and they weren’t hiding anything. I felt comfortable that they were in the business for the right reasons.”

You’re Backed by a Major Brand

One of the primary perks of franchising is getting the brand name, and with Anchored Tiny Homes, you have their name behind you. Rather than working independently, Anchored Tiny Homes equips you with the brand awareness and strong reputation you’ll need to grow.

“I can definitely say that I feel like I’m getting my money’s worth for the royalties I pay,” said Sanders. “Anchored Tiny Homes creates all of the leads for you, and those leads convert into projects that you can make a nice profit on. We also have that brand name recognition, so when we show up to a potential client’s properties, we’re not some Joe Blow construction company. We’re a big corporation with a lot of credibility. It’s so valuable to be able to say that we’re a part of the Anchored Tiny Homes group.”

The reputation of a known brand is a great benefit to franchisees, but they also receive very meaningful benefits in terms of the support associated with an established system. Rather than needing to establish branding, logos, sales processes, training, technology systems and a network of supporting actors, Anchored Tiny Homes franchisees have access to all of this when they join the franchise. And better yet, all of these resources were selected, tested and honed by the founding team to ensure they were perfected before rolling out to franchisees.

Anchored Tiny Homes Addresses a Proven Need

The Anchored Tiny Homes team is passionate about solving the housing crisis. The meaning associated with this mission is a key factor for many franchisees, but the ethos of it all should not overshadow the proven need in the space.

Franchisees are breaking into an industry that is both fulfilling and truly full of potential. Between 2012 and 2022, a major gap formed between the number of single-family homes that were being constructed and the number of families or individual “households” that were developed. Now, there’s a discrepancy of about 6.5 million units that needs to be addressed.

The real estate market continues to struggle, and the primary challenge is supply. Through ADUs, Anchored Tiny Homes owners are able to support individual families and real estate investors in creating additional housing units on already-owned properties, addressing the demand in a more streamlined, accessible way.

There Are Benefits to Joining an Emerging Franchise

While the corporate team has established a wildly successful business, the franchise side of the system is still relatively new. Joining now gives franchisees an opportunity to get in on the ground level and make key contributions to the growth and future of the larger franchise system.

“This is a special time for the franchise system because we, as a company, have perfected the model, but as a franchise, we’re brand new,” said Paulhus. “We have wide-open territories across the U.S. in markets that are primed for ADU growth, and new investors will have easy access to myself and other key members of the leadership team, meaning they can make valuable contributions that will shape the future of the system as a whole.”

For true entrepreneurs, this opportunity provides an ideal balance of business security, given the proven model, and start-up flexibility with the newness of the franchise offering.

Strong Potential for Revenue

With corporate revenues of nearly $50 million in 2022, Anchored Tiny Homes has proven the strength of its model. As a strong model in an in-demand industry, the potential for growth is incredibly strong. Paired with an initial investment starting below $200,000, franchisees are well positioned to recoup their investment and quickly scale. 

The model also offers flexibility to work when and how you’d like, meaning you are in control of how much you earn.

“I’ve been working since I was really young, and I like to work. I like to feel like I gave it my all every day. Some people would say I work way too much, but for me, it’s worth it,” said Sanders. “And with Anchored Tiny Homes, I’m working for myself. When you’re in business for yourself, if you perform well, you’ll get a lot more profit. That motivates me a lot more than going in to work for someone else would.”

As Anchored Tiny Homes rounds out its first full year of franchising, it has already partnered with multiple new franchisees who have purchased a total of 23 territories. In the coming months, it is looking to grow in Houston, Portland, Miami, Dallas, Atlanta, Charlotte and Raleigh as it continues to grow exponentially.
