Outdoor Home Lighting Franchise

Business is an outdoor home lighting franchise started in August 2006. Sales for the first year ending August 31,2006 were $185,709. Owner income for that period was $85,581 excluding first year start-up marketing costs. The products sold to home owners are designed to beautify the exterior of the home while providing incidental security. At the level of activity experienced for the first full year the business can be run by a single owner including management and operations. As growth occurs, a small staff will inevitably be needed, but margins will sustain the cost increases. Owner purchased the franchise for his sons who are not interested in running it. He himself has other businesses to run and cannot devote the necessary time to it. He has hired outside contractors to do the installations but, as noted, a single owner can perform most this work at current sales levels. A trailer with miscellaneous tools are included in the purchase price as well as inventory of $12,000 along with the protected franchise.
