Comprehensive Online Training Support
easyhome provides a cutting edge on-line program and will outline a one month training program prior to the time of your opening, plus on-site assistance as you initiate operations. There is no additional charge for this training program, but you must pay any travel and living expenses while attending the training at one of our corporate stores.
Every managing operator is required to attend an intensive 4-week training program under the guidance of our franchise director.
You will receive training in our critical success areas:
- Management training
- Hiring and managing associates
- Store operations (cost control, inventory, purchasing, administration)
- Product knowledge
- Sales training
Once the training is completed, we will help set up the store, guide you through staff training, and be with you when you open the door. We will provide experienced staff for the first week to help everything run smoothly.
Financial Requirements
Initial Investment: The total investment of an easyhome franchise which includes the franchise fee and construction, is estimated to be approximately $600,000.00 to $750,000.00 after first year.
We suggest the franchisee provide 30% or $250,000.00 in unencumbered (free and clear) cash. Experience has proven that if the total cost is borrowed, this creates an unreasonable debt load and is detrimental to the success of the franchise.
Financing the balance may be achieved through a bank business loan, or other financing arranged by the franchisee. If funds are borrowed against a home equity, then the mortgage repayments must be supported by a sufficient outside source of income.
It is not possible to guarantee if and when a new store will reach its operating budgets because operating expenses and sales vary considerably with the management skills of a new franchisee, store location, and other variables.
Franchise Requirements
No, you don’t necessarily need experience in the leasing industry. We look for franchisees that have business management experience, people skills and a desire to help people. We can help you identify an experienced operator.
Our real estate division has industry leading analysis and reporting on each and every market in North America. When a possible location is found, it is further examined and analyzed for market potential, demographics, competition, customer profiles, and traffic flow.
