Franchise vs Independent Business

November 1, 2024

Keen to break into the construction industry but stuck on whether to go solo or join a franchise? Let's break it down for you.

Going Solo (Independent Business):

  • Freedom – You call the shots, from choosing clients to setting your rates.
  • Branding – Your business, your brand. But, you're starting from scratch – and that means more time and money spent on marketing.
  • Support – You're the boss, but you're also the bookkeeper, marketer, and HR. Juggling everything on your own can be hard yakka.
  • Flexibility – With freedom comes risk. No established systems or safety nets, meaning more trial and error.

Franchise (Joining MTP):

  • Established Brand – You’re jumping into a well-oiled machine with a trusted name in the market.
  • Support – From marketing to admin and systems, we’ve got your back. Focus on what you do best – building.
  • Training – Whether you're a builder or a keen businessperson, we offer ongoing training and support to get you thriving.
  • Less Risk – With proven systems in place, you’re set up for success from day one.

Which one's for you?


If you’re after total control and don’t mind a bit of a grind, going solo might be your path. But if you want to focus on building with the backing of a team and proven systems, then franchising with MTP could be your best bet.
