We’ve been in the franchising world for over a decade now, so we’ve heard from thousands of people who were interested in joining our system and bringing Footprints Floors to their community.

Today, we’ll break down some of the biggest attributes we look for so you can tell exactly where you stand!

Traits of the Ideal Footprints Floors Franchise Candidate
A successful business partnership is a two-way street: we have to ensure that our Franchise Owners are as good a fit for us as we are for them. After all, we consider ourselves more than just a company – we’re a family! These are a few of the characteristics we’ve found make the best, most successful Footprints Floors Franchise Owner.

You’re Business-Savvy
At Footprints Floors, our onboarding training and ongoing support will go a long way to launching your business the right way. Beforehand, however, you will need existing business know-how and passion for business operations to truly succeed. Whether you gained this through climbing the corporate ladder to a management or executive-level position or prior experience starting your own business, knowing exactly what it’ll take to run a business will help you launch and scale as quickly as possible.

You Hate a Conventional Desk Job
Chances are, if you’re looking into franchise opportunities, you’re already among the thousands of people we see every year looking for a way out of the boring, unfulfilling corporate grind that has you chained to a desk in a grey cubicle every day. If this sounds like you, we have good news: owning a Footprints Floors home services franchise will have you in the field a lot, meeting customers and working with subcontractors face-to-face. Every project and every day is different, so you can expect to work on the road and on-site at properties across your territory – sometimes even more often than your home office!

You’re Driven by Your Community
Footprints Floors was founded on community outreach, and we continue to commit time and resources to our First Fruits Fund so we can give back as much and as often as we can. This is something we expect our home services Franchisee candidates to be driven by, too! Not only does building goodwill in your community help you build brand reputation in your territory, but if you treat your community well, they will return the favor and help you maintain a profitable, scalable business. If you love the idea of becoming a pillar in your community as you build your new business, this could be the right place for you.

You Love to Lead & Motivate a Team
As a business owner, there are few things that can affect your profitability, customer satisfaction, and the end result of your projects quite like your ability to lead your team – subcontractors included! – toward a common goal. Home renovations, even if it’s just replacing flooring on one level, involve a lot of moving parts and people of all different roles and responsibilities. It will be up to you to ensure everyone is on the same page and working together seamlessly to ensure the project is completed on time and up to standards.

You Want to Grow, Grow, Grow
While starting your own business and making just enough to justify leaving your corporate job can be satisfying to some, the Footprints Floors business model is designed especially for Franchise Owner candidates who dream of growing a franchise into their own personal business empire. If the idea of smashing your own revenue and profit margin records year-over-year or building enough generational wealth that allows you to positively impact your community excites you, this is the right place. Whether you want to start with one or multiple territories and grow to take over your city or your entire state, we’ll be there to help you.
