The Most Common Fears About Owning a Franchise

The Most Common Fears About Owning a Franchise

Owning a franchise can be a great opportunity for entrepreneurs, but it also comes with fears and concerns. The main concerns are common franchise fears: money risks, lack of control, and finding the right opportunity.

Overcoming Franchise Funding Fears

Financial risk is one of the biggest fears for those considering buying a franchise. Investing in a franchise can be a significant financial commitment. Investing money in a business or borrowing money to start a franchise can be very intimidating for some people.

All businesses have financial risks. Franchisors like PatchMaster, offer comprehensive training and support to help franchisees succeed. Additionally, many franchise companies also offer financial assistance for those who qualify.

 Financing a PatchMaster Franchise

Securing funding is critical when buying a franchise, and we understand that. We have joined with top funding experts to provide a wide range of funding options for almost any business situation. Our partners have supported our franchisees in starting their own businesses, and they can do the same for you.

PatchMaster has partnered with Benetrends to jumpstart your entrepreneurial journey. Funding is one of the most important components in buying a franchise. Benetrends has provided funding for American entrepreneurs for over 35 years, offering various funding options for different business situations.

The most popular programs are the Rainmaker Plan® (IRA/Rollover) and SBA small business loan programs. And they continue to provide innovative solutions with their newest funding option, The Rainmaker Advantage Plan®.

Running Your Franchise

Many franchise owners worry about not having enough control over their business when running it daily. Franchisees fear losing control over daily business decisions and being restricted by the franchisor’s rules and regulations. Franchisees must follow rules from the franchisor, but these rules are put in place by the franchisor to help support the franchisee’s success.

PatchMaster provides strong support and guidance to help franchisees run their businesses well, and our franchisees have more freedom to make decisions than a typical corporate setup.

Finding the Right Franchise

Another fear many people have when considering franchise ownership is finding the right franchise opportunity. With so many options available, trying to find the perfect fit can be overwhelming. Also, people fear choosing the wrong franchise and failing.

This is why it is important to research and carefully evaluate each opportunity before deciding. It’s a good idea to ask franchise experts and talk to other franchisees to understand the industry better.

Are you an entrepreneur looking for a recession-resilient franchise opportunity? If so, PatchMaster may be the perfect fit for you. Our franchise model is affordable and simple, with training and support provided to franchisees and scalable, so you can open multiple locations and grow your business over time.

PatchMaster Franchise History

PatchMaster Franchise, LLC started with a niche concept: minor drywall repair. With the appeal of a home-based, scalable, and low-investment business model, our founding franchisees set out to prove its success as a scalable business model. Despite having no drywall experience, their entrepreneurial drive propelled them to become successful business owners.

Within 18 months, all three offices were thriving, and with a solid business model in place, PatchMaster Franchise, LLC, began offering franchises in October 2017. Today, PatchMaster has expanded to over 150 territories to more than 80 franchisees across the United States and Canada, and we are expanding rapidly.

PatchMaster now provides residential and commercial customers with fast and professional drywall, sheetrock, and plaster repair solutions. While many handymen, drywall companies, and contractors avoid minor repairs, we focus on fixing holes caused by renters, plumbing leaks, and unfinished DIY projects. We can complete most repairs with one visit and even offer paint matching.

Our experienced home services franchise professionals support every PatchMaster franchise owner, helping them to exceed their expectations and achieve their goals.

Why Choose PatchMaster

PatchMaster is the fastest-growing drywall repair brand in the industry. With over 125 franchised areas awarded already, PatchMaster offers one of the best low-cost investments for entrepreneurs like you looking to build a scalable, thriving business.

We’re committed to dominating the home services category known as “small-drywall repair” through excellent customer service and flawless patches. Our business model is simple yet brilliant: we specialize in drywall repairs others don’t want to do. Homeowners lack the expertise, drywall companies avoid small jobs, and other trade professionals (ex. plumbers, electricians, etc.) need someone to fix the holes they leave behind.
