The founders of WOW 1 DAY PAINTING are Brian Scudamore and Jim Bodden. Brian is best known for creating the world’s largest junk removal service, 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, a global company with over 200 franchises in North America and Australia. The concept for Brian’s new company fell in his lap when he needed to get his house painted in 2010. Brian met Jim Bodden, the owner of One Day Painting who said he could complete his job in one day.

When Brian arrived at his home at the end of the appointed day, he found that the job had been completed, was of high quality and there wasn’t any mess. It was then that Brian knew he had found his new home service business.

By the end of 2010, Brian had bought Jim Bodden’s company and WOW 1 DAY PAINTING was created with the first franchise, owned by Jim, opening in Vancouver, BC.

ROCKIN’ JUMP® the idea was hatched in 2010. An idea cultivated between our two families as we searched for a safe, fun and exercise focused venue to take our kids. We’re actually pretty easy to understand. We’re people much like our customers who want to exercise, but also like to have fun. Lots of fun. And we want to encourage our kids to do the same.

When we plotted out our combined experience in construction, hospitality, food & beverage and entrepreneurship, we realized we could collectively figure out how to make this trampoline concept a truly great experience.

So instead of stairclimbers and weight machines, we created a place where you can soar in open jump arenas, dive into pools of soft foam cubes, play trampoline dodgeball, and perform awesome slam dunks. We’ve developed a new alternative for birthday parties and family gatherings, where quality food and private party rooms were guaranteed, where true hospitality could be experienced, and kids can safely play while parents socialize with one another.

Everything about us is dedicated to Safe. Clean. Fun.™ In fact, we’ve trademarked our JumpSafe™ program because we found our unique approach to safety is the best in our industry.

DRAMA KIDS DEVELOPS CHILDREN AND TEENS – NOT AN ACTING SCHOOL

With over 10,000 students currently enrolled, Drama Kids is the largest and most successful after-school drama program in the U.S. With that said, however, Drama Kids does not consider themselves to be a drama company. Rather, Drama Kids has created a uniquely different “developmental drama” program that uses drama activities to teach and build important life-long skills in creative thinking, public speaking, and leadership with a big emphasis on developing confidence and self-esteem. New class activities are used in EACH LESSON to make sure each class is fun, fast paced, and developmental. This is why the Drama Kids difference is very DRAMATIC.

Business Basics:

• Drama Kids businesses are managed from a home office with classes taught daily throughout the franchise owner’s exclusive territory in schools, and community locations. Overhead is extremely minimal, and owners can enjoy a profitable business and a flexible lifestyle with weekends, and several summer weeks off.
• The Drama Kids “secret sauce” is a fun, fast paced, and developmental curriculum consisting of over 450 unique and detailed lesson plans that ensures happy, successful students AND a successful business.
• Classes are available for ages 4-17 broken into 4 appropriate age groupings with unique curriculum provided for each age group. Only Drama Kids has a 13 year cycle of curriculum to accommodate this ongoing student enrollment demand and allow a student to attend classes beginning at age four and continuing through age 17 without ever repeating a lesson.
• Students attend only one hour per week throughout the school year. This makes the Drama Kids model a low price and high convenience drama option for parents compared to local drama/acting competitors.
• Summer camps are also held during the summer using carefully constructed curriculum for six different half-day and full-day summer camps.
• Designed for growth - Our model allows franchise owners the ability to quickly move away from teaching classes themselves to focus on hiring, training and supervising teachers, securing new locations for classes and maximizing enrollments in each class.
• There are no auditions or rehearsals so children can enroll any time during the school year (space permitting).
• Long term enrollments - unlike most afterschool programs with short class terms, Drama Kids enrolls students for a full school year, and over 50% of our students re-enroll for two or more years.
• The Drama Kids model also works perfectly as an additional revenue/expansion opportunity for music centers and dance studios.

Business Features:

• Low investment and low operating cost concept with high pre-tax profit margins of over 40%.
• Recession-resistant business – as part of the always vibrant child enrichment industry, coupled with our low price point, Drama Kids franchise owners are positioned to weather any type of economic conditions.
• The business can be started at any time during the year.
• Very large and fast growing market with tremendous potential.
• Large exclusive territories that allow franchise owners to enjoy great success with a single territory.
• Very simple and flexible business model.
• No hired employees necessary to start.

Tutor Doctor has been dedicated to student development for over 10 years, offering preschool, kindergarten, elementary, high school, university, and adult programs. Our teaching methodology utilizes 'one-on-one' learning and incorporates an understanding of different student learning styles. Our platform is based on a tailored 'one-on-one' approach that addresses the basic foundations of concepts learned. The program fills in missing bricks of academic concepts, consolidates that with current expectations, and then moves ahead to future requirements. Our special individualized programs give each student the best chance to achieve his or her academic goals. We look at the both foundational concepts and future concepts to ensure that each student is learning progressively.

One-on-one learning at home allows a student to develop and learn in the comfort of their own home. Because tutoring takes place in the student's home, parents can more easily gauge how their children are responding to the program. Through regular support and motivation, the student builds his/her confidence, knowledge and skills. This in turn fosters better understanding of the concepts which ultimately results in better grades. Our platform is designed to give students the ability to reach their maximum potential. We monitor each student through a variety of feedback channels and respond accordingly.

In 2003, the Tutor Doctor business model was made available to entrepreneurs who had a desire to empower students and at the same time take control of their own destiny.

Cafe2U is the global market leader in Mobile Café Franchising, with over 200 successful franchisees worldwide.

The core business of a Cafe2U franchisee is to develop and service business parks, business centers and industrial estates on a daily basis. These areas are traditionally poorly serviced by cafes and food outlets, in particular those able to provide high quality espresso based coffee. The Cafe2U franchise system has been designed to be a successful weekday business. Cafe2U franchisees typically start their business day around 7am and are finished by early to mid afternoon.

The other component of the Cafe2U business model is event work. This normally takes place on the weekends, however franchisees may also service private and corporate functions on weekday afternoons. Weekend events include football, baseball, soccer, school activities, street fairs, community and charity events. Basically, anywhere there is a gathering of people in need of high quality espresso coffee is a business opportunity for you and your business. Event work can be very lucrative, however, given that the majority of event work takes place on weekends, not all of our franchisees choose to service events. The decision to service event work in entirely up to you and what you want to achieve with your business.On average our franchisees service between 20 - 30 loyal businesses within their territory each day, of which they aim for no less than 6 transactions per business. Our research has indicated that our franchisees are more successful targeting businesses with staff levels between 6 and 49 employees.

Hand and Stone Massage Spa is a franchise opportunity which begins with the basic concept of providing affordably priced, conveniently located, top quality therapeutic massage services. Hand and Stone is focused on creating and maintaining customer satisfaction. We strive to make customers feel welcomed, pampered and appreciated. This, along with our membership based program, keeps them coming back again and again generating multiple recurring streams for the business owner.

We offer a unique approach to proven industry offering the widest range of services and best consumer experience offered by a membership-based massage franchise. This is a largely fragmented industry with only one other national player. We are at a significantly lower price point from a day spa. We are changing the delivery system from an all-day experience at a high-end spa to "affordable & convenient" while still in an upscale environment. We provide the spa experience which an independent who goes to someone's home can't offer so there's no direct competition there either. We are easier to schedule than both of these as well. Our largest national competitor offers a far too sterile experience going so far to intentionally brand themselves as a clinic. They offer only one massage option. We offer a relaxing spa like setting and a menu of services allowing more choice for the consumer and the opportunity to up-sell for the owner. Our performance based compensation program, flexible scheduling and variety of services allows us to effectively recruit employees even in markets where our competition is established.

We are surprisingly recession resistant. An increasing number of Americans view massage as necessary therapy, not a luxury item (can back up with articles from CNN and Newsday). Also, Hand and Stone capitalizes on consumer trends which have done well in down economic times dating back to the Great Depression: Tap basic human needs relevant to the times (we provide comfort & human touch); Enable People to Demonstrate Power through Luxuries (we are an affordable luxury at 39.99 introductory price point); Leverage the Quest for Good Old Entertainment (we provide a distraction from daily worries); Capitalize on Down-Trading (someone who was spending hundreds at high end day spa now finds Hand & Stone a less expensive alternative).

This is a retail opportunity without the headaches of retail. The business generates recurring revenue with our membership based model, there are multiple revenue streams, there are multiple opportunities to up-sell to increase average ticket, and there is very little inventory.

Significant revenue is generated from members' automatic Electronic Funds Transfer (EFTs). We are an easy use tenant (no noise, no food, etc) and we attract the desired clientele for the center so property developers love us! There is no food, no spoilage, no employee theft/slippage, little inventory, little cash.

Multiple Revenue Streams: Only franchise in industry offering membership based Massage AND Facials nationwide, recurring membership fees (like a gym but not a gym); non-member massages (with higher pricing); walk in business; gift card sales; retail sales.

Outbound retail. Security of 4 walls but not limited by 4 walls. The business benefits from but is not limited by real estate. An owner can improve & grow the business with community networking to supplement the traffic drawn into the store from marketing efforts and the location.

Since its inception in 1990, Handyman Connection has become one of North America's leading remodeling and repair companies. Handyman Connection offered its first franchise in 1993 and since then has expanded to 98 locations throughout the United States and Canada. The company is part of the high demand home improvement services industry providing solutions for the very small projects that take just a few hours, to the large interior and exterior renovations that require multiple trades, the coordination of materials, and detailed project management.

The need for property repairs is never ending - it isn't a trend or a fad that will disappear next year. Property owners always need "something done", and Handyman Connection franchisees work to become the trusted company in their area that homeowners call for any home improvement project when they simply don't have the time, tools, or talent to take on a project themselves. The company's strength is in its ability to handle many hundreds (if not thousands) of small to medium sized jobs each year and develop long-term relationships with their customers, craftsmen, vendors and each other. The franchisees enjoy high repeat business which creates a long term income stream and equity that's easy to illustrate for that eventual day when they decide to sell their business and cash in on the nest egg they've built.

Looking for the best business opportunities in the US?
What is a Franchise? We have the privilege to work with many international entrepreneurs who are looking for great business opportunities in the United States. You may be an experienced business owner who has had great success opening and running a business. Maybe you have worked within the corporate environment for many years and are looking for a chance to own your own business. Regardless of your background or circumstance, you may be asking the following; “why should I look at a franchise?” “Why not start my own business?” Do I really need a franchise system? “What are the benefits of being a franchisee?” Throughout the next several weeks we will discuss the various elements of franchising in the United States and the benefits of investing in a franchise system vs. starting a business from scratch. In this blog. I will focus on a simple question, What is a Franchise? It’s a simple question, right? So, let’s start with the basics. What is a franchise? Legally speaking, a franchise is an agreement or license between two independent parties - - Franchisor and Franchisee. Within this agreement the licensor (Franchisor) will provide the following to the Franchisee: 1) The right to market a product or services using the trademark or trade name of the brand (Franchisor), 2) Use of the operating methods and processes of the Franchisor, 3) Payment from Franchisee to Franchisor for the rights to use their name, systems and processes. In return, the Franchisor has the obligation to provide support to the Franchisee for the term of the agreement. Now that you know how a Franchise is defined, why it this important in the context of your search for the right business? Recently, The United States Chamber of Commerce reported that 86% of franchises opened within the last five years were still under the same ownership and 97% of them were still open for business.That’s an amazing statistic! While we all know that every business venture has some element of risk these numbers show the strength of the franchise industry and the systems and processes they implement. So what contributes to the success that such a large number of franchise owners are experiencing with their businesses? In my next blog, I will dive into this question in more detail and discuss how the franchise industryhelps prospective franchisees make good business decisions before, during and after their businesses are open.
