How much does a Jim's Mowing franchise fee really cost? Eighteen months in, Mitchell Dennis checked his end-of-year figures and confirmed it.
His total fees run about 6% of turnover, roughly $12,000 a year including leads, marketing, and the app. In this episode he explains why that is worth it, and what running the business actually takes.
He runs leads from 6am to 10pm, seven days a week, and last spring he was getting five or six a day on top of a round of nearly 70 regulars.
He talks through the daily grind of fine-tuning his calendar around hilly terrain and vehicle access, the plan to add a second vehicle, and how he gets out of bed on a minus-four morning. His answer on motivation is simple.
When you run a business you do not have a choice, and a bad day in this beats a good day at the job he left.
