Chemdry - HARRIS CORP - Chemdry - HARRIS Research - Chemdry - The Untold Story - Logan Utah

I was quite surprised when I stumbled across this post. Let me introduce myself, I am part of the whole Nhance management team that up and quite 18 months ago.

this brand was going no where 18 months ago I beg to differ.from its inception N-Hance has been a powerful brand. During my time with N-Hance we were recognized by Franchise Times for being one of top 55 fastest growing franchise systems in the country. Entrepreneur Magazine recognized us in their top 500 in multiple categories. N-Hance was recognized as one of the BEST home based business opportunities. N-Hance did a National expansion under this management team and increased location coverage from six regional states to a Coast to Coast brand. It added additional vertical opportunities for its Franchisees to increase their individual revenue. All modeled after Chem-Dry, all done using Chem-Dry's resources, all done using a shared R&D team with Chem-Dry. Hardly the Darth Vader your post would lead one to believe. The entire Chem-Dry team helped make N-Hance the brand that it is.

Let's clear up this misconception the Leadership Team for N-Hance did not leave because of Harris Research, Inc. or the way that Harris Research, Inc. conducts its relationships with its employees or the franchisees. The Team went to pursue different opportunities and several members of that team have expressed a desire to return to HRI. Harris Research, Inc. has stayed true to its founder's original vision. That vision is to provide a business opportunity for anyone seeking to own their own business. HRI does it without a heavy tax burden to its franchisees.

I have been in franchising almost my entire adult life. I know my way around this business. Let me tell you all the things that HRI DOESN'T DO FOR THEIR FRANCHISEES!

1. They do not penalize their franchisees for their hard work through a taxation policy of requiring them to pay double digit royalties to HRI Corporate. HRI's flat rate royalty structure is one of the most economical business opportunities in the franchising world.
2. They do not bloat the corporate head count with redundancy and maintain one of the lowest zor/zee ratios I have ever seen. If a franchisee doesn't get the fact their survivability is directly correlated to the Franchisor's survivability then maybe they shouldn't be in business for themselves.
3. HRI does not burden the franchisee with complicated reporting structures and lets the franchisee self manage and grow their business with minimal interference. This does not mean HRI is hands off .. but holy *&!@ if you are one of those people who think all they have to do is buy a franchise and they are wealthy without putting your own effort forth you should of stayed working for the Post Office.
4. HRI does not guarantee your success. They provide you the opportunity to pursue the American Dream. Now go out and go to work. My gut says you could have booked a job or two in the time it took you to cleverly post your comments.

I have worked for some of the biggest franchising companies in the business. I know the difference between a good Franchisor and a bad one. Harris Research, Inc. is one of the best. Are they perfect? I know first hand they are not. That being said I do know they put forth a lot of energy, effort dollars and time to develop tools to assist their network both with N-Hance and Chem-Dry.what they cant control is the enthusiasm, energy, competency and drive of individual franchise owners..but you know what neither can any other franchise company in the world.you have to do that yourself.


Just go to work!

Thanks for the heads-up. I was starting to look into a chemdry franchise and found your helpful post. Here's some good advice for others looking at chemdry or any other business.

I've been looking at a few different business opportunities for the last couple months and have learned that with a franchise, if you ask them for it, the company has to send you a large document containing a lot of useful insider information about the company (i.e. list of all franchise owners w/ phone numbers, list of franchises that failed w/ phone numbers, law suits filed against them by the franchise owners, two of the six that I now have even show exactly how much money I could make with a franchise).

Some of the companies I've contacted didn't seem to really want to send one to me but when I reminded them that it was the law they quickly gave in. Four of the companies call it their Uniform Franchising Offering Circular and others call it something else. Just describe it to them and they should know what you're talking about. SO I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT ANYONE LOOKING INTO A FRANCHISE SHOULD REQUEST ONE OF THESE. I have six of them from different franchises so far and got them all for free just by filling out their applications and requesting one. I still plan to request one from chemdry for comparison purposes.

Also, you should check to ensure that the NHance company is really part of chemdry. They may just be a home depot service provider. My brother installs water heaters for a home depot in Dallas and he said he thinks NHance is an independent contractor and not owned by home depot or chemdry.

How can I get a hold of the NHance guy you spoke with? I'm pretty close to a decision on what business I'm going with but it sounds interesting enough that I wouldn't mind learning more. You can email me directly at happytexican@gmail.com.

I sincerely hope things get better for you.
