In this video, find out the advantages of starting a franchise with us versus trying to set up a business on your own.
Video Transcript:
Sophie: So, we’re just spending the morning out here on site with James Stroud. James, we’re still definitely keen on joining the team. Talk to me about why we would do that instead of maybe setting up our own business.
James: Stroud Homes has won so many awards. There’s too many to count. Industry awards, Best Display Home a few times, an award for innovation, and you get that credibility from day one. And then, I think you’ve got to look at the actual cost of setting up yourself and compare it to what you get with us. So, have you ever heard us talk about the 10-year advantage?
Sophie: Yeah, I’ve heard about Stroud Homes claiming a 10-year advantage. Talk to me about what that means.
James: We’ve got design range that we’ve spent more than $800,000 on. We’ve got more than $200,000 worth of graphic arts, brochures, a website, all that type of stuff. We’ve got actually $100,000 worth of estimating work already done. There’s a localisation process that’s needed but, at the end of the day, there’s more than a million dollars worth of stuff that a new Stroud builder gets the keys to on day one. And, you know, you’d have to say that it would take more than 10 years to go from a dead start and get all that stuff built up.
Sophie: So, James, my husband is very creative, and he’s wonderful on the tools, but he’s not the best when it comes to paperwork. So, how would Stroud help me and my husband with dealing with that?
James: So, when I started Stroud Homes, I decided to make Stroud Homes the most reliable building company around, which means that we can’t have builders run into financial trouble. We understand the personality type of builders and how they’re not good with financial stuff. We have some great tools, which we’d love to show you in detail about how we make sure that you have clarity about where your finances are at at all times. Cash flow in a building company is not easy, but with our tools, it’s very manageable.
Sophie: So, James, you know, you’ve definitely got the credibility. You’ve got the award-winning designs, undeniably award-winning designs. You’ve got the 10-year advantage behind you. You’ve got the structure. You’ve got the fee set up. I’ve got the support. It seems like it’s a no-brainer.
