Company Created in Recessionary Times Now On Top

Back in the early 1990's, Chad Hallock and four other young, hungry entrepreneurs began the business that was to become Budget Blinds. Then, like now, the country was in a recession and times were tight.

"We were just 5 guys in the trenches, doing everything we could to get our business up and running," says Hallock, president and chief executive officer of Budget Blinds, now ranked as Entrepreneur magazine's No. 1 window coverings franchise.

"What those times taught us was invaluable when we decided to franchise. Our franchisees know that we put in the hours and have done everything that we ask them to do. From our experience we could build a model that was proven and scaleable anywhere," Hallock continues.

To back up his point, Budget Blinds is introducing two incredible offers to prospective franchisees interested in becoming one of the nearly 1,000 Budget Blinds franchises in the U.S.:

* Qualified franchisees could make $750,000 in gross sales in the first three years, or they don't pay $15,000 in royalty fees!

* Budget Blinds will finance up to $35,000 for qualified individuals.

(With both offers, conditions apply.)

These compelling offers prove that Budget Blinds clearly believes in the strength of their concept. And there are more reasons for people looking for their next business opportunity to consider Budget Blinds.

It's a home-based business with low overhead and no inventory. Each window covering is custom-made once your customer finalizes the sale.

Budget Blinds has partnered with the best name brand manufacturers in the business and offers some exclusive products only available through Budget Blinds.

Strong buying power means lower prices for your customers and potentially higher margins for the franchisees.

* Unparalleled training and ongoing support, including a comprehensive 2-week start-up training program

* National branding and marketing programs that include strategic national television, print and online campaigns.

* Local marketing is provided so owners can leverage national campaigns in their territories.

Franchising is looking especially bright these days, at a time when many people are looking to own a business, but don't want to take the risk of going it alone.

"Budget Blinds gives its franchisees the best possible odds at succeeding in the window coverings business," says Jeff Frim, Budget Blinds franchise owner in Arvada, Fla.
