Award-Winning Franchise

You won’t have to reinvent the wheel.

Starting a business on your own without franchise support means starting from scratch and requiring building a business through trial and error which presents a great amount of risk. When you choose to invest in a Made in the Shade franchise you will not have to reinvent the wheel. Our proven processes will create a clear path to your financial success. You will also receive all the advertising and marketing resources you need through our exclusive, state-of-the-art online marketing portal. The portal provides our franchise owners the ability to customize any of our branded printed material templates to your business and benefit from the combined buying power of all of our owners. This differs from other franchise systems who make a profit on in-house design and print!

The cost of opening a MITS franchise can be similar to the average cost of opening your own business but what you’re getting for your investment is incomparable!

One-Time Fee

What does it cost to purchase a Made in the Shade Franchise?

Our current franchises are available at a low-cost investment starting at $64,000 USD for a single territory. This is a one-time fee for a generously-sized territory. Additional territories may be available at discounted rates.

Extend your opportunity

Are there any other added startup costs?

Outside of your initial franchise fee, we recommend having $20,000+ in working capital to support a few additional start-up costs such as a business license or permit and advertising collateral, etc. Some of our franchisees elect to purchase a van for transporting materials and having it wrapped with our MITS branding. Others are content with their current mode of transportation and work their way up to investing in a company van. The choice is yours.

No royalties or fees

Quick return on your investment

Since we do not charge ongoing monthly royalties, you have the opportunity to enjoy a quick return on your investment! This means that you can use these funds toward building your brand in your local market. Once you realize your initial investment back, you will not owe us any royalties or fees.

We are the only franchise system within our industry that affords you such financial freedom.

No monthly royalties eliminate the need to inflate your job costs. You can choose to pocket the additional profits or pass the savings on to your clients. You can create your own local marketing and advertising, instead of a mandated corporate advertising royalty that may not be targeted toward your specific selling area. This gives you autonomy and a tremendous competitive edge in your community!
