Many brokers unintentionally do their candidates a disservice by not presenting the Area Developer model—simply because they don’t fully understand it.
The misconception? That it’s a more expensive, high-barrier opportunity. The reality? The investment is only $95K, with low startup costs and a $32,500 commission for you—all while giving candidates a stronger long-term business than a traditional unit franchise.
Why Should Your Candidates Consider the Area Developer Model?
- More Control & Bigger Potential – They own an exclusive territory and develop unit franchises instead of just operating a single location.
- Lower Startup Costs – No expensive buildouts or large overhead—just a streamlined path to revenue.
- Residual Revenue Streams – Instead of relying on a single unit’s success, they benefit from ongoing royalties and franchise fees.
Not telling your candidates about this is like knowing the best restaurant in town and not sharing it with your friends. Or worse, hoarding a pot of gold while others settle for loose change. 
If you’re only offering unit franchises, you’re missing out on a huge opportunity—and so are your candidates. Let’s connect and chat about how this model can be a win-win.
