Candidate Profile

The candidates for this new venture are a father and son team from San Antonio, eager to start their own business. The father is an experienced commercial banking professional with 37 years experience in the San Antonio and south Texas region. For the past 14 years, he has served as the President and Chief Lending Officer at a regional bank he helped found. His son holds a degree in Business from Texas A&M University and a Master’s Degree in Business Administration from the University of Texas-San Antonio. The son plans to take on the owner-operator role while investing in a multi-territory opportunity that would provide valuable services to their local community.

Given that father and son have been part of the San Antonio business community for many years, they have extensive connections throughout the city. As part of their business plan, they will be tapping into those relationships to help develop their new venture. Their goal is to create a successful and thriving business that will serve their immediate community and those across south Texas. To accomplish this, they plan to take full advantage of their knowledge and experience in both banking and business.

 

Franchise Profile

This franchise is in a highly fragmented industry, with most of the competition consisting of small, local operations. Despite the relatively small sizes of these businesses, they still have large average ticket values due to the necessary costs associated with insulation installation. Because insulation can be sold both to businesses and customers directly, the franchise operates on multiple fronts. Their product is appealing because it provides a better quality of insulation compared to competitors and offers customers significant energy and carbon footprint reduction savings in addition to its superior performance. Franchise owners focus on managing the business rather than performing the installations themselves, striving to professionalize an industry that has often lacked adequate quality control standards.

To achieve this goal, the franchise is leading the charge by utilizing revolutionary equipment and technology, taking an eco-conscious approach towards production and sales, and providing extreme transparency to customers throughout their experiences with the company. Franchising opportunities also abound within industries that lack major players; as such, there is great potential for the franchise to become a major player within three years due to its sophisticated nature compared to other existing companies. To achieve this ambition sooner rather than later, the service organization behind the franchise will focus on offering detailed services at all stages, from design to installation, so customers can get exactly what they need from their investment into insulation from the very start. Moreover, by emphasizing customer service before anything else, the franchise will have provided added value for its clients beyond what most other companies in their field could offer, giving them a real competitive edge in an otherwise crowded market.
