A franchisor who has a great youth enrichment brand, if they are not 100% able to step away from their youth enrichment company where they are no longer needed at all in the business, that person should not franchise their business.

Because they're going into a different business now that they have to learn from scratch, which is the franchise business.

And if their business isn't systemized enough and they haven't learned how to open another location somewhere else on their own, there's no reason to go start a franchisor.

And oftentimes people – franchisors will think, oh, well, I'll just like sell like five, ten franchisees and like –

They'll just pay me royalties forever and it'll be mailbox money.

It's like, no, you need to get to $50 million in system-wide sales to make franchising worth it.

$50 million.

It doesn't make sense if you can't get there.

And that's going to take all of your time and the franchisor is a complete startup again.

Like you're starting up a completely new business.

And so these are things that like people don't know when they think about franchising because they're just typing in semi-passive franchise opportunities near me or how do I franchise my business.com and they are not being told these things.

Yeah, so anyone who's interested in becoming a franchisee, we're looking for empire builders and people who want to build sizable pressure washing businesses.

Those folks can go to rollingstudsfranchise.com and see if their territory is still available.

If it is, you'll get on the phone with someone from my team.

If you want to just continue to learn more about the journey and franchising in general, you can follow me on Twitter, Aaron Harper, CEO.
