Convert your Glass Repair business

Reframe Your Future

When you first launched your business, you had an expectation of what that would look like: you’d probably be making a comfortable living for yourself and your family and have plenty of employees to handle projects and phone calls so you could take time off when you wanted to. But now you’ve worked hard your whole career, you’ve put in the time, you’ve built a business — why haven’t you been able to reach those goals?

The glass repair industry, whether it’s auto glass or glass in a home or business, remains a necessity-based business because glass is everywhere. And Glass Doctor^® provides a unique opportunity for you to continue to independently own and operate your glass repair and installation business while tapping into a wealth of resources from our national franchise system.

Is Small Business Franchise Conversion Right for You?

Entrepreneurs usually choose to open a business in an industry they’re passionate about or have experience with. The startup process can be exhilarating, but many owners aren’t prepared to deal with tasks they might be less familiar with, such as marketing, inventory, payroll, and more.

Even though opening your own glass repair and installation business may have been incredibly fulfilling, it can be difficult to continue to build and maintain it all on your own.

Here are some challenges that many solopreneurs face:

• Building a well-informed business plan
• Establishing a customer base from scratch
• Trying to do it all (marketing, sales, business systems, and more)
• Achieving work-life balance
• Managing the business reputation
• Finding and retaining good employees
• Maintaining a strong digital presence

These struggles are some of the key reasons why many people choose the path of small business franchise conversion. An established franchisor like Glass Doctor can take the weight off your shoulders when you roll your business into one of these outstanding franchise opportunities.

Is your glass repair and installation business delivering to your expectations?

These are the five outcomes of owning a business. How many is your glass business delivering for you?

• Generating the income to support what you want to be doing
• Providing for a quality lifestyle
• Creating wealth
• Giving you equity – a valuable business
• Eliminating all negative debt

What’s most important to you, your family and your glass repair and installation business?

A Code of Values to Work and Live By

As part of the Neighborly^® community of home service companies, Glass Doctor follows a Code of Values that each employee is encouraged to support and know by heart and with heart.

The Code of Values serves as a set of universal guidelines we strive to adhere to, from the bottom of the organization to the top. Any meeting of three or more employees of Neighborly companies begins by reciting the Code of Values.

Many companies may talk about their values. However, our franchise owners chose to live them and often share it was one of the deciding factors in joining the Glass Doctor franchise family.

There’s an established system that helps put things in order, helping you take care of many tasks so you can focus on your passions and talents. It’s still your business, but you’re using franchising as a small business growth strategy and a path to better work-life balance.
