A Stone Man franchise represents a unique business opportunity. For the entrepreneur who wants to succeed financially while working in a truly inspiring field, there may be no better opportunity available.

Working outdoors, being part of an historic effort to preserve and spread an ancient craft, enriching your customers’ lives, and all the while building and operating a very profitable business. Does this sound like you? If so, read on.

Our system is based around three must-haves: extraordinary product, extraordinary business system, and extraordinary marketing. When you purchase a Stone Man franchise, these are what you will receive.

Extraordinary product
"Why a stone franchise? There are plenty of stone contractors.
It’s true, stone is a hot item in the USA. Do a little research and you’ll see that the future is good. Stone is expected to have a strong market for at least the next twenty years. However, most stone masonry in the USA is, frankly, fake. Block walls with stone veneer facing, built to look like the walls of old, but done as quickly and cheaply as possible.

Our product is based on the walls of the old world, in particular, those of Scotland and Northern England. Through a thorough understanding of those walls, we can adapt the same building techniques for modern landscape installations.

Your training will take place in Scotland, and is centered around rebuilding ancient stone walls. You won’t find training like it anywhere else. After the training is complete, quality is controlled through our construction manuals and business system. Compare this to the average stone contractor (your competition). Temporary employees, no quality system, on the job training. Don’t worry, they don’t compare!

Extraordinary business system
If you have ever tried to run a business, you know the challenge of putting it all together. It’s hard to create a solid set of processes, and harder still to find the time to follow them. Administration time is lost time.

Our fully computerized business system (KeyStone) handles everything for you. Customer administration, pricing, quoting, invoicing, scheduling, employee management, etc is all done automatically and cleanly. Full time support is available. Business administration is taken care of, so you can concentrate on selling and growing your company.

We also provide you with an extensive template business plan, customizable for your area.

Extraordinary marketing
Because our product is so genuine, it is pretty easy to market. Explain to people what we are doing, show them the difference, and you will find they are eager to hire you. Even so, we have a whole department dedicated to this area. All aspects of marketing, from logo to business cards, brochures to apparel, from demographically targeted advertising to our website itself, is provided for you. And it works! Which of your competitors was trained in Scotland? Once again, the real saving is time. Our system is ready to go!

Also under the marketing heading comes customer service. Our full operating manuals cover all aspects of customer service, from answering the first phone call to receiving payment, all based on the tried and tested techniques that set us apart in the marketplace.

The Stone Man franchise is like all others in one respect. You will have to work hard and patiently to see results. But it is different than others in many respects. The work is a unique blend of art and business, of history and modernity. It also offers an aggressive growth curve and high profit margins for a relatively low up front investment.

We are looking for college educated professionals with experience. Please contact us for more information.
