Buying & Growing a Power Washing Franchise with Nick Heye

In this episode of the M&A Launchpad Podcast, hosts Feras Moussa and Casey Minshew welcome special guest Nick Heye.  Nick talks about his experience entering the franchise world with Rolling Suds, a power washing and exterior cleaning company. Nick was the fourth franchisee in a new system that has now grown to nearly one hundred, and shares his insights on the challenges and rewards of building a business from the ground up.

We discussed the importance of a good franchisor, lessons learned, and the pros and cons of franchising, as well as Nick's personal journey from finance to entrepreneurship. This is one of the only discussions that we had surrounding a franchise, and it is interested to hear the pros and cons compared to other entrepreneurship routes.  Nick gives good insight to making the proper decisions, how to treat others, and tips into running a quality business set to grow and succeed.

• Transition from Finance to Franchising


• How to Franchise
