Like all businesses, a Hickory Dickory Decks franchise is not a sure thing. No small business will work if the owner does not. No one has all the skills needed for a new business, so learning is a necessity. All new franchisees will enter the business in different financial positions, with different net worth and different costs of living. Statistics prove that buying a proven franchise business has a much better chance of survival than going it alone. Talk to our existing franchisees and find out the success that is possible with the right skills, the right training and support, the right systems and products, and with good old hard work.

Potential Earnings

There are many variables to the equation of success, and they are as different as the people striving for them. We all have different gifts and talents and with life experiences added to the equation and different financial positions, no two people are striving for the same thing. For the right person, with the right skills and training who works the business properly, and works hard, our system can save years in getting you to where you want to be faster and safer. We cannot guarantee results… no one can. Our proof is in our success to date, and the quality team we have built.

Variables to the success formula.

• Can you sell enough?
• Can you sell for the right prices?
• Can you build enough?
• Is your season long enough?
• What are your material, labour and overhead costs?
• Can you sell and install the more profitable products?
• How many hours are you prepared to work?
• What are your skill levels in selling, marketing, building, human resources, business management, accounting, design etc?
• What other time commitments do you have?
• Have you ever worked in a seasonal business where you are very busy in the spring and in the winter you are semi-retired?
• Can you hire, train, supervise, motivate, discipline and hold members to your team?

A Note From The Founder and CEO

I have been living the deck business since 1987, and I am proud of the team we have put together so far, both at Head Office and with our franchisees. If you are self-motivated and work hard, I believe our system can save you many years of frustration and speed up your process of success. Building and designing custom decks for great customers can be a challenge, but can also lead to a very rewarding and financially successful career. Do your homework, research the competition, learn all about your potential territory, search the web, see the products in action, and talk to our team. I look forward to our next meeting and seeing if Hickory Dickory Decks is right for you.

Yours truly,
