The Benefits of Owning a Franchise
Why the Painting Industry?
This industry is completely reliable, recession-proof, and growing every year as the housing market expands.
We saw an industry ripe for reinvention using our franchising formula.
Our Franchise Partners aren’t painters — they’re business owners, team builders, and customer experience experts.
This is an opportunity to become an industry leader in a fragmented market that has hardly even heard of the phrase “building a brand.”
Although you don’t need previous experience in the painting industry, these core qualities are part of the formula for success:
- You love to lead
- You have a hunger to succeed
- You value exceptional customer service
With Colour Craft, you’ll clearly stand out in your region. Execute on these three brand promises, and you’ll be miles ahead of the competition!
THE NUMBERS
Franchise Investments & Startup Costs
All businesses require an initial investment, and that includes franchises. The difference with franchising is that your costs cover a team of people and processes to support you on your road to success.
As a franchise partner, you’re part of our entrepreneurial family, where we balance wealth creation, living our dreams, and living our lives on our own terms.
- You won’t feel alone because you have a network that’s got your back.
- Every franchise opportunity has a different cost. Service-based brands like Colour Craft have a lower initial investment and a faster ramp-up time, so you can start making money and earning back your investment quickly — usually within the first year.
Is Franchising Profitable?
One of the questions prospective Franchise Partners often ask when looking into various options is, “How profitable are franchises?”
The answer?
How successful you are depends on you — your coachability, your work ethic, your devotion to excellence, and your ability to follow the Colour Craft franchise formula.
Send me an email at brad@colourcraft.ca to see a pro-forma business plan of what startup might look like.
After 17 years in the franchise game, we’ve identified what creates successful franchisees and franchise territories.
As the franchisor, we are only as successful as you are; therefore, ensuring your success is our entire business plan!
What You Get From Your Franchise Investment
As a Colour Craft Franchise Partner, you’ll have everything you need to launch and grow your business.
The way we support you includes:
-
Formal Training: On all the key foundational business systems — recruitment, sales, marketing, production, finance, and planning.
-
Formal Coaching: Brad Samuels, founder and head coach, will work one-on-one with you in formal weekly coaching sessions.
-
Done-for-You Systems: We’ve created over 200 standard operating systems to make organization within the business easy.

-
Team: You’ll join a family of young entrepreneurs and friends who know that life is about much more than painting. Our entire franchise management team has dreams and goals outside of business. We maintain a team dynamic where we can be honest, open, and direct about our long-term personal goals and deeper life questions.
The Cost & Benefits of Starting a Colour Craft Franchise
When it comes to cost and investment, how do you decide whether to go it alone or join a franchise?
One way to look at it is this: building the operations manual — which outlines the entire formula for success at Colour Craft — took me two years to write and test. On your own, you have to put yourself on the line with no support or formula for success, and you have to build everything from scratch while operating the business and staying cash-flow positive.
