What’s the Deal…

With Franchises Compared To Real Estate?

This right here is why there is no investment that can compete with business ownership from an ROI standpoint.

This picture shows some of the growth of Trader Joe’s in the 1980’s.

Your index fund or rental property likely does not have the potential to (consistently) increase profits an average of 71% over a five year period, as in this photo’s example.

For the same investment as a rental property, the financial output potential of a business is potentially leaps and bounds higher.

This is not to crap on real estate or investing into index funds. But if ROI is your main driver, I can’t think of a better option than business ownership.

Yes, business is active income and comes with higher risks.

If your goal is to work less, focus on building a portfolio of rental properties…or take advantage of investing in capital markets through stocks, bonds, mutual/index funds, ETF’s, etc.

It’s just likely going to take a lot longer and will require more capital to produce the same results.

If I can produce $300-$500/month in cashflow from a $500k investment into a rental property, I can potentially produce $100k, $250k, $500k, $1M+ in profit from a similar investment into owning a business.

These numbers are obviously completely hypothetical but they illustrate a point: there is a greater likelihood of higher growth rates in business ownership.

Business ownership isn’t for everyone and it’s definitely not get-rich-quick, but it IS an avenue that more people should consider.

Only if they’re not afraid of putting in the work.

In a world of people whose goal seems increasingly to be “passive income,” there is a huge opportunity for those willing to roll up their sleeves.

And there is pride in creating jobs, offering needed products and services to your community and country, and generating the profits to give back.

Franchise “Deal” of the Week - Real Clean Aircraft Detailing

RealClean Aircraft Detailing is a niche mobile concept that focuses on interior/exterior detailing in addition to other specialized services for various types of aircraft.

RealClean Aircraft Detailing Services was founded by Dustin Zeitler during his time in general aviation, driven by the need for professional aircraft detailing, a service distinct from auto detailing.

Lacking a clear blueprint, Zeitler drew on his aircraft maintenance experience to carefully develop the necessary skills and processes.

Together with Eric Stevenson, the company's operations manager and first employee, they refined their techniques, focusing on quality and precision.

In April 2019, Zeitler and Lucas Goucher acquired the business, expanding it significantly to service over 50 airports across the Midwest by implementing innovative practices and exclusive products.

The company sets itself apart by offering hyper-personalized services in an industry dominated by large, generic service providers.

As an owner-operated business with a long-tenured staff, RealClean Aircraft Detailing Services has seen substantial growth, with revenues increasing consistently year over year.

This success is attributed to their dedication to high standards, specialized training, and a client-focused approach that ensures each aircraft detailing job reflects the values and preferences of its owner.

The company continues to thrive, expanding its operations while maintaining a commitment to excellence and personal service.

Real Clean Aircraft Detailing is also backed by by a proven growth equity provider, Franchise Altitude, led by veteran franchisor Scott Marr, that offers a unique approach to franchise growth by combining strategic support, personal investment, and extensive industry experience.

Their team prioritizes integrity and a hands-on partnership, ensuring franchisees and franchisors not only receive the capital needed but also benefit from tailored advice and strong industry connections.

This makes them an invaluable partner for those seeking to scale their franchise successfully.

Competitive Advantages:

• National Marketing Strategy

• Recurring revenue opportunities

• B2C and B2B - single jobs or corporate fleets

• Niche, mobile business with no seasonality

• Opportunity for high ticket invoices

The 5 Stages of Franchise Ownership

One of my best franchise friends and former podcast co-host of the “I Fired My Boss Franchise Podcast,” Dan Claps, wrote a LinkedIn post the other day that I felt perfectly paints the picture of the the emotional roller coaster that franchisees experience as they get their operation off the ground.

Dan is the CEO of Voda Cleaning & Restoration, one of the fastest growing home services and restoration franchises in the country.

Understanding the reality of what a franchisee will feel during the various stages of franchise ownership, AHEAD OF TIME, is critical.

This way, a franchise owner is better prepared to weather the storm through the initial ramp up.

Below is a screenshot of that post.
