When you invest in a franchise business, it’s natural to be eager for success. Drawn-out launch periods and challenging overhead costs can put a damper on your business’s scalability. At SpeedPro, one of the nation’s leading large-format printing franchises, we want to make it as easy as possible for our Studio owners to open and get printing right away. How do we do this? Through an ultra-efficient business model.
We’ve tailored our SpeedPro investment process for efficiency at every step—from a streamlined Discovery Process, to the rapid buildout of your Studio, to low-overhead operations. Our process is as fast and simple as possible, so you can get your Studio doors open and begin scaling your business immediately. In short: SpeedPro cuts out the fluff to ensure maximum profits and smoother management.
Streamlined Setup
By design, SpeedPro has removed the bloat from the printing business. Your Studio will have the capability to produce a vast array of large-format print products for an unlimited variety of clients and industries. And, all of this is possible within a modest Studio footprint and with a small startup team.
The SpeedPro Studio buildout process only takes 30-60 days. This is made possible through a small building size and simple floorplan. Most Studios are 2,000-4,000 square feet and consist of an open-concept production area and just one or two office spaces. The lack of frills and modest space means you won’t be waiting months for your Studio to be ready and can start generating revenue that much sooner.
Similarly, outfitting your Studio with equipment is a simple, out-of-the-box endeavor. We’ve invested the time and resources into identifying the latest and greatest equipment needed to produce high-quality large-format graphics. There’s no need to research, product test and source machines or substrates from vendors. SpeedPro provides every franchisee with a turnkey startup package containing everything they need to get started.
Once you’re ready to start production, your Studio will only need one-to-two employees to operate the business. This cuts down the time you’ll have to spend hiring and training employees during the buildout process, and keeps management activities to a minimum once you open.
Benefits of Business Efficiency
With a streamlined launch and simple operations process, SpeedPro Studios are easier to open and run for new and experienced franchisees alike. However, there are some additional benefits to this efficiency, both from a financial and long-term growth perspective.
- Manageable initial investment: The cost to open a brand-new SpeedPro Studio is greatly reduced because of the streamlined process and modest starting size. Large teams, plentiful equipment and oversized office spaces require a much heftier upfront investment—and this can put franchising out of reach for many aspiring entrepreneurs. By creating an efficient startup model, SpeedPro keeps investment costs lower and enables more professionals to become business owners.
- Low overhead: Overhead costs can place unnecessary burden on businesses—especially when they’re just starting out. Expenses like rent, utilities and employee salaries are major contributors to overhead for larger, consumer-focused businesses. Fortunately, SpeedPro keeps overhead to a minimum thanks to its efficiency and our business-to-business franchise model. With a small staff and reasonable Studio size, SpeedPro owners are able to better plan for and manage monthly costs more easily.
- Steady scalability: Although you’ll start with a smaller setup, all crucial parts of your business will be scalable as your revenue grows. Once you begin bringing in more sales, you can hire more staff and add more equipment to your shop floor to accommodate high-volume production. Thanks to the streamlined design, this growth is managed as-needed, giving you the opportunity to scale when you have the demand and financial resources to do so and minimizing growing pains on the business.
Simplify Your Franchise Journey
Between our business model’s efficiency, robust training and network of franchisee support, SpeedPro gives every Studio owner the tools they need to be successful. You don’t need a massive warehouse or a team of 100 to build a thriving business! Starting small and growing at your own pace allows you to scale comfortably, with minimal risk.
