Some small businesses often find it challenging to get off the ground or if they are a home business, to move into a dedicated office space. They might build up operations enough to make some profit, but not enough to maintain the rent of a dedicated office. One possible solution for that problem is to rent space at a business incubator. A business incubator generally rents the following 3 types of spaces:

• Shared space
• Dedicated desk
• Private office

Of course each option gradually increases in rent. The shared space has the lowest threshold of entry but there is no dedicated space. Every time you come in, you have to take all your stuff with you when you leave. If you come in when the space is full then you have to wait for someone else to leave. Each time the actual space where you sit down and work could be different. If anyone in the shared space has a phone call, everyone hears it or at least a portion of it (sometimes business incubators have phone booths). There is no privacy and no security for business documents, laptop or electronics.

The dedicated desk costs a little more, and it makes the space yours. You can keep your stuff there. But most of the time, the dedicated desks are in the same room as the shared space. This doesn’t give you much privacy and while it is more secure than the shared space, it’s still technically in the shared space.

The private office may give you all the privacy and security that you want, but what if it costs so much that it’s out of your budget?

The Hybrid Solution – Dedicated Desk In A Shared Private Office

If you have a business where you need the privacy and security of a private office for less than the price of a dedicated desk at a business incubator, and your business is located in Gilbert, AZ, then NPO Musketeers has a hybrid solution for you – it’s a dedicated desk in a private office that is only shared with 2 other people.

Associated Business Brokers currently has a featured listing for a Master Franchise Opportunity. You’ve likely heard of franchises such as burger restaurants, gyms, hardware stores, tax firms and others. The benefit of a franchise is that the franchisor already has the brand awareness, systems and resources in place which can give you, the franchisee, an edge towards success. All of these can be extremely difficult to build or obtain when starting a business from scratch.

But what is a “master franchise”? While other franchises will give you permission to set up shop on a location-by-location basis, a master franchise gives you an entire territory, where you actually become the “franchisor” with the ability to sell franchises to individual franchisees.

The Master Franchise which Associated Business Brokers currently has listed for sale includes territories in Tucson, AZ as well as over 40 other major metropolitan areas nationwide. In territories which have been operating for at least 2 years, the average sales are almost $2.4 million. This is more than double the annual sales of franchise owners for the top five leading brands for categories including fried chicken, burgers, subs, pizza, hair, mufflers, and taxes, with less than half of the initial investment. Top performers are grossing almost $5.5 million.

The master franchise territory owner will sell commercial cleaning franchises to new franchise owners and provide daytime aspects of their cleaning businesses like sales, marketing, invoicing, collections and more for a total of 12 different revenue streams. This is an ideal opportunity for someone with experience managing a team and working within a service-based industry. As the owner, you control your time in the office and away from it, allowing you to spend time with family and doing personal recreation. This is not an opportunity for you to buy a “blue collar self-employed” position. As the CEO of your master franchise you and your team will perform the “white collar”, office-based tasks for your franchisees. Commercial cleaning is a niche that does well in any economy, but it is one that particularly thrives in a COVID-affected economy.

The franchising fee is $98,000, but the overall estimated startup costs are between $246,000 and $405,000, a reasonable amount compared to other franchises which have even more startup costs but less potential return.

If you are looking for the right franchise opportunity this is definitely one that you’d want to explore!
