Join me, Nik (https://x.com/CoFoundersNik), as I interview Clayton Edrington. Clayton was making over $300,000 a year at Amazon but had an entrepreneurial itch. He explored everything from SaaS startups to buying existing businesses before landing on franchising.
We dive into why he left a high-paying tech job, how he evaluated different home services and sweaty businesses, and ultimately chose to buy multiple territories in a relatively new roofing franchise, Bumble Roofing. Clayton shares the startup costs, his approach to financing, navigating the early months, and the crucial role of community and support.
Questions This Episode Answers:
Why choose a franchise over other paths?
What is the business model of a roofing franchise?
How do you pick the right franchise for you?
What are the real startup costs for a franchise?
What personal sacrifices come with starting a business?
Enjoy the conversation!
