It happens to everyone — one day, things are going great, business is progressing as it should, and the next day, the company is stuck in a rut. While business may remain steady, that hump can seem impossible to get over. Some enterprising HVAC business owners will use this time to attend training or hire a business coach. Others consider a different option — converting to a franchise business.
Becoming a One Hour franchisee is awesome, according to Troy Latuff, vice president, Franchise and Business Development, Direct Energy Home Services. However, there’s often a misconception of what franchising really means for business owners. Being a franchise means the company is still 100 percent locally owned and operated — the franchise is really there to be a partner and help franchisees grow their business from top-line sales to bottom-line profits and everything between, he said.
