Vertical Integration - Operating a vertically integrated business, our franchisees design, sell manufacture and install custom closet systems, garage organizers, entertainment centers and custom office systems with no middleman in the chain of distribution. This is the most efficient form of distribution.

Highly Fragmented Industry - There are only two worldwide franchisors in the closet industry. The rest of the market is made up of smaller regional firms and "Mom and Pops". This allows us market dominance.

Low Tech Business - Homes are still being built the same way they have been for the last 60 to 70 years with a rod and a shelf. The demand is still being built every day for us. You won't wake up and find yourself obsolete!

Cash Business - There are no receivables because franchisees get a 50% deposit with the order and the balance upon completion. Being in the "cash" position before even being invoiced by vendors is almost unheard of in the business today.

Unskilled Labor - Not being "held hostage" by any particular technically skilled work force, franchisees manufacture the best quality products at the most advantageous cost factor. "The intelligence is in the machine" and our workers merely feed the machines.

Not Location Dependent - Factories are located in light industrial or warehouse manufacturing sites. The sale takes place in the customer's home not in an expensive retail location. Franchisees enjoy better rent factors and have less risk by not having to lease high traffic retail locations.

Training - New franchisees participate in two weeks of intense and thorough training at our headquarters in Los Angeles. When their factory opens we send a sales manager to their location for two weeks to train their "design consultants" how to design and sell. We also send an operations manager to their factory for two weeks to train the staff how to manufacture and install. Franchisees are trained twice, once in our facilities and then again in their own factory.

Support - Closet Factory franchisees enjoy support that is second to none! Because of our own presence in the marketplace, owning and operating a total of seven factories, we have staff numbering well into the 200's that we can draw upon to help our franchisees. No other closet company can make that statement!

Big Business - Franchisees enjoy a business that was designed to be large enough so it isn't necessary to have multiple locations to replace an executives income.

Growing Marketplace - the remodeling industry has been growing at 20% a year, according to the Department of Commerce. This combined with the increase in building starts, sets the stage for long-term growth and demand for the products that we manufacture.

Build Equity - Manufacturing businesses are accorded valuations different than businesses dealing with either consulting or the service sector. Closet Factory franchisees do more than merely "buy themselves a job" - they build their own future.

Lifestyle - Closet Factory franchisees operate their businesses during normal working hours, usually Monday - Friday 8am to 5pm and sometimes 1/2 day on Saturday. No need to work nights, holidays and weekends like many retail and food establishments.

Freedom - Closet Factory franchisees have the choice of operating their business themselves "hands-on" or absentee, with a hired manager.

Experience - Closet Factory franchisees start on day one with the accumulated knowledge gathered over the last 16 years of being in the business. A proven strategy and formula sure beats guesswork and trial and error!.

Turnkey - Everything's spelled out for our franchisees in opening their factory. Just like a good recipe, our instructions are easy to follow and eliminate mistakes and surprise
