Becoming a TenacIT Franchisee offers the opportunity to build a business, shape a culture and invest in a better future for you and your family.
We are currently seeking franchise candidates across the U.S.
Read on below for more information about U.S. franchise opportunities and ways to apply.
Much of TenacIT’s success and ability to grow can be directly tied to our Franchisees and their ability to bring their skills and knowledge to local businesses. There is a lot at stake for TenacIT in offering franchise opportunities and that’s why we take great care in selecting who we go into business with. We spend time getting to know candidates through our intensive and lengthy selection process.
Franchisees spend their time and resources to build the TenacIT brand and TenacIT reciprocates by providing the resources needed to grow beyond their current capabilities and service offerings.
Franchising is not an opportunity for passive financial investment, working from the sidelines, or adding to a portfolio of business ventures. This business opportunity is a hands-on investment. It often requires long hours, leading a team of talented, but young, hourly-paid employees. It’s hard work – but it’s exceedingly rewarding.
Joining TenacIT is not like joining a club. This is first and foremost a for-profit business with all the financial obligations of any business. That said, we want to make you aware of the realities of owning and operating a TenacIT franchise, as well as the characteristics we’re looking for in prospective candidates.
While operating a TenacIT franchise requires a relatively modest $100,000* initial financial commitment, it requires a holistic commitment to own and operate the business in a hands-on manner. More to the point, it requires a time commitment not only to build your current business, but to help manage and assist the organization as a whole. You are not just building your business, you are helping to build THE business.
*Initial financial commitment requirements are determined during the selection process and based on the applicants actual capabilities and needs. More established businesses may be exempt from the initial financial commitment and some less established businesses may require to put more skin in the game.
We are in the Technology Services Industry…emphasis on TECHNOLOGY. TenacIT franchisees must possess a wealth of technical knowledge and a willingness to help ANY customer at ANY time. TenacIT has built a reputation for providing exceptional enterprise class service and support and we expect all of our employees and franchisees to exemplify that.
If you have never managed a 24-7-365 IT department or been an active technology consultant with clients that don’t know how to tell time…this is probably not the career you want.
TenacIT franchisees run their own incredibly complex businesses, ultimately in charge of all aspects of the operations. Their success and return on investment are proportionate to their hard work, business acumen and leadership effectiveness.
It is not however, guaranteed.
Competitive candidates will show evidence of personal financial integrity and stewardship, proven business leadership-and business acumen, an entrepreneurial spirit, a growth mindset, and strong character.
TenacIT is only interested in mutually beneficial opportunities whereby all parties involved can benefit. But let us be clear. Fewer franchises are better for business and only the best candidates will be accepted.
When you own your own business, it is hard trying to make the decision to take on a project you are not equipped to handle or lose the business and potential client by turning down the work. With TenacIT behind you the answer will almost always be “YES, we can help with that.” SCADA for a pipeline operator…YES. ERP system for a manufacturing client…YES. HIPAA compliant records solution…We can do that.
Stop turning down work or avoiding certain clients because they are “too big”, or need services that you don’t currently offer. With TenacIT, you have the the ability to call any service or solution, yours. Our business IS your business.
Let TenacIT expand your menu of service and support options.
Many times, especially in IT, there is a need to call in specialty resources simply because the time required to learn the skill in-house is longer than your client is willing to accept. While many companies have a desire to be a one stop shop, few are, and correctly so. Why spend valuable resources developing skills that may never be used.
While we know that every IT person has the capability to learn, the return on investment is not always there.
Case and point, the CCIE Certification. Less than 3% of Cisco certified engineers obtain the CCIE certification, which translates to less than 1% of the networking professionals worldwide. If obtaining a CCIE is your individual goal, we say go for it. But if you are losing business because you don’t have a CCIE on staff, that is where the franchisee network of TenacIT comes in.
Let TenacIT fill that skills gap.
Marketing on a local level or small market is easy enough. Flyers, word of mouth, local paper advertisements all work. But what if you want to expand beyond your small town and provide services to the larger area around you? What if business is slower than you want and potential clients don’t even know you exist?
You could hire a service that specializes in online marketing. You could put up a billboard. You could even create and broadcast commercials. But why, when TenacIT already does that. TenacIT has a vested interest in making sure you succeed. So why not let TenacIT’s professional marketing department help you build your business?
Let TenacIT do the heavy lifting on advertising.
At TenacIT, we will be the first to admit that we are a bunch of IT Nerds and accounting is not our specialty. Thankfully we employ some of the best accountants we can find to keep us strait. We would imagine that accounting is one of your least favorite aspects of owning your own business and every tax season you question why you don’t just hire someone to handle it.
One of the main back office benefits to a TenacIT Franchise is knowing that the accounting is handled by the company accountants and your only job is to handle the day to day operations of running an IT services and support business. It is everything you ever wanted. Access to you accounting records without having to deal with invoicing, bill payment, tax files,PnL Statements, etc.
Let TenacIT handle the math, you handle the operations.
HR rules and regulations are not only complex, but if handled incorrectly, can land you in hot water. City, State, Federal labor laws all must be adhered to and “I didn’t know I needed to do that” is not a valid argument in court.
TenacIT franchisees can sleep a little easier knowing that they have a team of HR specialists that can help navigate the legal HR hurdles, onboard new Nerds and even help tell Nerds, “today is your last day.”
If you want HR off your plate, know that it is being done correctly, and even take most of the legal liability off your shoulders, then maybe a TenacIT franchise is right for you.
Let TenacIT HR become your HR.
Danny DeVito in the movie Other People’s Money has arguably one of the best cinematic lines in history as it pertains to lawyers.
“They’re like nuclear warheads. They have theirs, so I have mine. Once you use them, they f$#% up everything.”
Now, we love our in-house legal counsel and our legal clients. In fact as we have said throughout our website they are one of our favorite types of clients. That doesn’t make the movie line wrong.
Unfortunately, in the litigious world we live in, when you need a lawyer, you just need a lawyer and there is no getting around that. TenacIT employs and retains lawyers of varying specialties simply because “they have theirs, so we have ours.”
Let TenacIT help protect the business you have built.
