What is the peak season for this business and can I service other holidays?
Our experience over the years has taught us to be as efficient as possible by maximizing our time. The earlier you start (as early as Halloween), the sooner you’ll start generating revenue.

How about insurance coverage?
Some basic liability coverage at the very least is all you need. If you plan on hiring employees, you may need more coverage. Speak with your independent insurance agent about pricing. If you don’t have one, we have established relationships with reputable insurance companies, and will assist you in finding the right agent to handle your needs.

Am I buying a franchise?
No! There are important differences between a “franchise” and a “business licensee.” The main two important distinctions that you will need to understand are that 1) your business will be regarded as its own entity that you own individually and 2) that as a result of this classification, you will not need to send us a percentage of your quarterly revenue.

Will I need to hire employees – and can you assist in that area as well?
That decision is entirely up to you. We recommend that you hire at least one person. Two people working together should be able to generate $1,000 - $1,500 per day in gross revenue. We can help by sharing some of our experience in regards to how to properly grow your business using hired help.
