​

A franchise is a business arrangement where one party (the franchisor) grants another party (the franchisee) the right to operate a business using the franchisor's brand, trademarks, systems, and processes in exchange for fees or royalties. It typically involves a proven business model, support, and guidelines provided by the franchisor, allowing the franchisee to sell products or services under an established brand name.

The MOBALON company creates 4 types of buses:

1. Mobile Salon Buses FOR SALE! (These are buses that people like Celebrities and wealthy individuals want to purchase and use for their own personal services.)

2. Mobile Salon Buses FOR RENT! (These are buses that are built and put out on the streets for licensed barbers and stylists to rent, like those annoying E-Scooters that people rent.)

3. Mobile Salon Buses For Owner/Operators! (These are buses that are operated by the students after they graduate our Online Mobile Salon School and work on the buses until they pay them off to own them!)

4. Mobile Salon Buses For Franchising! (These are the buses that are built for our Investors to own, but we operate them and send them their percentage and profits from investing into a Mobile Salon Franchise!)

Mobalon designs and constructs all Mobile Salon buses in-house, ensuring that each unit not only complies with local and state regulations but also surpasses national standards, guidelines, and requirements for Mobile Salon businesses. Our franchised units are centrally managed and operated at the corporate level, with every facet of the business meticulously monitored to achieve optimal efficiency.

Revenue and profits generated by the Mobile Salon Franchise Buses are systematically allocated by our corporate offices, with each party's agreed-upon percentage electronically transferred directly to them.

Benefits of this Franchise Investment 

Franchising investments offer several benefits for investors looking to start a business with a structured model. Here are the key advantages and benefits of this Franchise Investment:

1. Established Brand Recognition: Franchises come with a recognized brand, reducing the need for extensive marketing to build customer trust. For example, investing in a well-known fast-food chain like McDonald's leverages its global reputation, driving customer traffic from day one.

2. Proven Business Model: Franchises provide a tested system with standardized operations, minimizing trial-and-error risks. Data from the International Franchise Association (IFA) shows that franchises have a success rate of around 90% within the first five years, compared to 15% for independent startups. Hair is everywhere, making this a recession-proof business because people will always want to look good to feel good, and people are willing to pay for the luxury of the mobile shop or salon being brought to them.

3. Training and Support: Franchisors offer comprehensive training, operational guidelines, and ongoing support. For instance, companies like Subway provide franchisees with marketing strategies, staff training, and supply chain management, reducing the learning curve.

4. Lower Risk: The structured framework and brand loyalty reduce financial risks. A 2023 U.S. Small Business Administration report noted that franchised businesses are less likely to fail than independent ventures due to established systems and customer bases.

5. Marketing and Advertising: Franchisors often handle national marketing campaigns, while franchisees contribute to a collective fund. This amplifies visibility without requiring individual franchisees to develop costly campaigns. You can't miss our Mobile Salons! We are always branding, and you will too with our custom vehicle wraps. We embrace the co-branding model for Franchisees who wish to promote their brand because our Mobile Salons are moving billboards and are great at getting people's attention. 

6. Access to Resources and Networks: Franchisees benefit from bulk purchasing power and established vendor relationships, lowering costs. For example, a hotel franchise like Marriott provides access to proprietary booking systems and discounted supplies. (In the mobile Salon Network, you even make money off Percentage Profit Sharing from all sources, including Hair Art and Mobile Salon Bus  Advertising!)

7. Scalability: Franchises often allow investors to open multiple locations, increasing revenue potential. The IFA reports that multi-unit franchise ownership grew by 6.5% annually from 2018 to 2024. Unlike conventional shops and salons, there is no mandatory need for brick and mortar anymore. We take on all the responsibilities of manufacturing and deployment of your Mobile Salon Buses. You just sit back and enjoy the residual income. You have the option to order additional Mobile Salons at any time to scale up and increase your income. 

​​Considerations: While benefits are significant, franchisees must pay initial fees (e.g., $10,000–$100,000, depending on the brand) and ongoing royalties (typically dependent on the revenue). Compliance with franchisor and state rules can also limit operational flexibility.
