Who sets the rules

Who sets the rules in your business: you, or the brand?

Last updated · FloorIt

Quick answer

With FloorIt, you set your own prices, choose your own finish, keep your own hours and take jobs anywhere. A franchise gives you a system to follow, and its FDD and contract spell out which choices are still yours.

Here is each choice side by side, so you know what you would control.

Choice by choice

Your pricesYou set them, with a price sheet from the trainingCheck the FDD and the brand's rules
Your finish and suppliesOurs or another, with no minimum orderCheck if you must buy from approved suppliers
Where you workAnywhere. Your ad territory only covers our adsCheck the territory rules in the FDD

Marketing after launchLeads bundled with your finish reorders, plus your own ads if you want moreOften an ad fund, and some set a monthly ad minimum

The franchise column is a list of things to check, not a claim about any one brand. Every franchise is different.

Your prices are yours

The training teaches you how to price a floor, not what to charge. You fill in your own price sheet: a rate per square foot, a minimum job, and prices for stairs, extra rooms and furniture moving. You look at it again after 10 jobs.

What a job costs you in materials

Your finish is your choice

There's no rule that you buy finish from us, and no minimum order. We want you to reorder ours because it works on your jobs, not because a contract says so.

How finish reorders work

You can work anywhere

Your ad territory is an area where we won't run ads for another FloorIt partner while you're active. It doesn't stop you from working outside it. Take jobs wherever your customers are.

How your ad territory works

What FloorIt does ask of you

  • Pass the course quizzes before your leads start
  • Show up to every booked estimate, or move it ahead of time
  • Log what happened with every lead
  • Carry insurance and any license your area needs

These aren't about control. They protect the homeowners we send you, and they keep leads coming. If booked estimates are missed, we pause leads until you're back on track.

What we ask of everyone who joins

Why a rulebook isn't all bad

Some people want every step decided for them, and a franchise system does that. FloorIt gives you scripts, checklists and worksheets too. The difference is that you can change them to fit you.
