Entry Point offer homeowners an exciting, affordable and unique way to add value and curb-appeal to their homes, along with beauty and natural light! EntryPoint offers homeowners an affordable, safe and secure way to upgrade the look of their entryway. An EntryPoint installer removes the homeowner's existing door, takes it to the mobile workshop, cuts a hole in the door, and installs an energy efficient, triple-paned and beautiful decorative glass panel that the homeowner has chosen. The installer then re-hangs the door. The entire process takes about an hour and the homeowner is left with a beautiful custom door which enhances the appearance of their home. EntryPoint franchisee owners do not have to have previous construction experience.
Franchising Tips and Facts
How much can you make if you own an Entry Point Franchise? By law a franchise salesperson cannot provide you with an Earnings Claim, unless it is included in the disclosure document. There is no legal requirement that the franchisor must provide you with an Earnings Claim, however some franchisors do provide it. If the franchisor has chosen not to provide it, then it remains important to contact other franchisees listed in the disclosure document. Other Entry Point franchisees can answer many of your questions. Many franchisors will also require you to visit their headquarters before signing the agreement, so that you can both get to know each other better. This is known as Discovery Day.
Be sure to ask about marketing programs (if any) that are offered to Entry Point Franchisees. If your franchise contract requires you to make contributions for larger scale advertising and marketing programs, try to find out how the franchisees participate in decisions on the programs, campaigns and budget management. You want to make sure your money is going to good use, and it's being managed properly.
Franchising opportunities provide brand recognition, management and administrative systems, and a proven business model to small business owners. In theory, this should result in Entry Point franchises having higher success rates than non-franchise business opportunities. But in practice, franchises can and do fail.
Sometimes, franchises fail because the franchise buyers do not adequately research franchise opportunities prior to purchase. If you are interested in an Entry Point Franchise Opportunity, then you should do your homework. Try to match your personal attributes and interests to activities associated with the business opportunity you are interested in. If your personality and interests, don't match, you may want to consider a different franchise.
When considering whether or not to invest your money in an Entry Point franchise, be sure to ask if you will be required to purchase products and supplies from the parent company. If so, compare your cost to the local retail prices of the same goods. There have been instances in the franchise industry where the price from the franchise company for goods was higher than the price of the same goods in local retail stores. Selling anything under these conditions would make it quite difficult to keep your prices comparable with your competitors.
