A. Licensing requirements vary by state and the type of work being performed. Many franchisees are able to start without a license and obtain one later if needed. We recommend checking with your state and local authorities to confirm licensing requirements in your area. Many states have no requirements and other states base their requirements on earnings. California requires a contractor's license if you invoice for over $500 a job. No matter what state you live in, there may be local jurisdictions that have their own license requirements.

A. Yes, your investment holds strong resale potential. CrossBreeze Screen Franchises are strategically offered only in territories that can sustain a thriving, long-term business, ensuring your investment is well-placed. We anticipate that franchisees will earn a minimum annual profit equivalent to the $99,500 franchise fee, with many achieving profits of three to five times that amount. Businesses of this caliber traditionally sell for at least three times their annual profit, with higher valuations possible for exceptionally successful operations. As you build your client base and reputation, the value of your franchise will grow significantly, providing a compelling return on investment.
