Description:
The faux finishing industry is growing substantially, and growing with it is the retail of related products.
The company I am starting will be an exclusively licensed distributor of a new product for the professional faux finishing and remodeling industries. The products were developed for walls, countertops, and exteriors. The business will have a total of five different streams of revenue, with the primary sources being training fees and product sales. The operation is modeled after very profitable studios from around the country that distribute competing products. This business is not a franchise, but an exclusively licensed distributor. Our territory is Austin and San Antonio.
Based on our experience with this industry, we are already networked with industry professionals from around the country who are accustomed to paying standardized rates for product training. The business will be generating substantial revenue from day 1, and I already have applicants who are ready to put down deposits on classes.
The product has received an extremely positive reception from industry professionals. The versatility and physical characteristics of the product saves the professional time and money, while still offering high-end appeal. All materials are "green" and water based with no pollutants. This product has a definite competitive edge over competition.
The packaged product can be viewed at (URL removed). I can provide wall and countertop samples as well.
Planning and preparation has reached a final stage. We are set up with website publishing, credit card processing, and we have a commercial space selected. We are ready to hold training classes as soon as our capital is secured.
