Six Questions Your Card My Yard Franchise Business Plan Must Answer

We developed this franchise unit business plan using our own research into the operational and financial realities of starting a lawn greeting business. The six core chapters are pre-populated with data specific to this franchise model, including revenue projections starting at $295,000 in Year 1 and an initial franchise fee of $8,000. The entire document is fully editable in Microsoft Word, allowing you to adapt it to your specific territory and financial situation.

1. What is the business case for opening this franchise unit?

The business case is centered on a low-overhead, home-based event service franchise that targets affluent residential communities with a high-demand, personalized product. The business model is defintely designed to scale by building strong referral networks with other local luxury service providers, creating a defensible position in a protected territory.

Core Opportunity

  • Value Proposition: Premium, 'white-glove' installation service for high-end, personalized celebration displays.
  • Customer Segment: Affluent families, luxury real estate agents, and high-end event planners.
  • Financial Goal: Achieve profitability with a projected 4-year payback period on the initial investment.

2. What does the franchise unit sell?

The franchise unit sells rented, personalized yard greeting displays for special occasions.

3. Who are the local customers?

The primary customers are affluent families in a protected franchise territory who are willing to pay for premium, convenient, and high-impact celebration services.

4. How will the unit acquire customers?

The unit will acquire customers through a hyper-local marketing strategy that combines digital advertising, direct B2B networking, and community engagement. This approach is funded in part by the 3% marketing fee paid to the franchisor, which supports broader brand awareness while the franchisee focuses on local execution.

The business will be managed by a dedicated Operations Manager responsible for logistics, quality control, and daily execution, as detailed in the small business operations manual. This manager will be supported by a Sales Coordinator and a team of installation Crew Members to ensure smooth operations and adherence to brand standards.

Core Team Structure

  • Operations Manager: A full-time role with a $52,000 annual salary to oversee all field activities and inventory.
  • Sales Coordinator: A full-time role with a $42,000 annual salary to manage bookings and B2B client relationships.
  • Crew Members: Staffing starts at 1.5 full-time equivalents (FTEs) and scales to 3.5 FTEs by Year 5 to meet demand.

6. What are the key financial metrics?

The financial plan requires an initial investment to cover key startup costs, including an $8,000 franchise fee and $5,000 for a used delivery van. The model projects reaching breakeven within the first month of operation and achieving positive EBITDA of $19,000 in Year 2, with a full payback of the initial investment in four years.

Financial Highlights

  • Startup Costs: Key capital expenditures include the franchise fee ($8,000), initial signage inventory ($3,500), and a delivery vehicle ($5,000).
  • Revenue Growth: Sales are forecast to grow from $295,000 in Year 1 to $800,000 by Year 5.
  • Profitability: The unit is projected to be profitable by Year 2, with EBITDA growing to $214,000 by Year 5.

Simple and not Drama claim process.
’ve had Asurion coverage for a couple of years and never needed to use it until recently, when my pool salt cell (less than two years old) stopped working. I had purchased it with an Asurion protection plan, so I contacted them to start a claim. The process was simple and straightforward to follow. In the end, they honored the plan and covered the cost of my salt cell based on the value when I originally bought it. They issued me a gift card that I could use on Amazon for that amount. While prices have gone up and a new cell now costs about $200 more, it was still definitely worth having the coverage. Overall, I’m satisfied with how the claim was handled.

Love this protection plan
Quick and easy. My daughter's cracked her screen on her phone, as soon as it happened I went on the app, filed the claim. Ten minutes later I received the email with the shipping lable. The following day I dropped the phone off at ups and 4 hours later I received the digital gift card. Ive filed several claims since getting the protection plan and with four kids its definitelysomething im glad to have especially since i dont have to buy a protectionplan for each item now. I have filed claims for electric scooter the stoped working for no reason, my son's phone stopped charging, my oldest daughter cracked her phone screen, my son's video game controllers up and died and each time it was quick and easy and no fuss

Don't waste your money - these people will not help you
On March 9th 2024, I purchased a MCombo Lift Chair costing $785. On the same day, through the same Amazon account (my PERSONAL account since I also have a business account), I purchased an Asurion Complete Protect policy at the cost of $16.99 per month plus taxes. About one month ago, a problem arose with the chair that required me to make a claim using the "Complete Protect" policy that I had purchased for that very item. The claim was initiated on January 1st, 2025 - On January 3rd, I received an email asking me for photographs showing the damage for which I was making a claim. I sent those photographs via email to the address provided on January 6th. On January 27th, having not received ANY response from Asurion, I contacted them via phone and was told that my purchase had been made with a business account, that it was being used for business purposes, and was therefore not covered. I assured the Asurion Representative that it was most certainly not a business use, and that the chair that I was claiming for had been purchased because I had extensive shoulder surgery done that made it impossible to get in and out of bed. After speaking (unsuccessfully) with the Asurion Rep, I then contacted Amazon Customer Service. I spoke with an Amazon Customer Service Representative on the phone who confirmed that I had in fact used my personal account to purchase the chair and the Asurion Complete Protect policy. That representative went on to send a message to Asurion on my behalf confirming that the purchase was for personal use and not business use. Asurion responded, asking me to call them with the order number for the Asurion purchase. The number I gave was the exact same order number on my order history, however, the Asurion Rep could not find it. I was finally able to discover that the order number in Asurion's system was entirely different and isn't even in the same format as an Amazon order number. Upon the Asurion representative finding my plan, she informed me that the chair was listed as being purchased for business use (despite Amazon confirming that it was NOT) but that I should give them "a couple of business days" to resolve the issue. Five business days later, still no response and so I called them again (Yesterday - February 1st 2025)... Lo and behold, I got the same crap yet again... the purchase was listed as business use and was therefore being denied, but she promised to remove the business use commentary and put the claim through again. Today, February 2nd, I called Amazon yet again to escalate and had to call THREE times because the first two calls resulted in me finally being connected to an Asurion representative (two different reps) and each time, the Asurion representative hung up the phone as soon as my name was mentioned. It has become clear to me that the Asurion "Complete Protect" policy is a SCAM - they will NOT take care of your issue, regardless of how long you've been paying. I have been paying every month since March 9th last year - so they've received over $170 from me thus far, with zero other claims, and if I am able to cancel right now, I will only receive $16.99 back. All I want, is the chair that I purchased the policy for coverage of, to be repaired or replaced. Asurion are NOT helping, and are actively avoiding contact. At this point, I am considering legal action against Asurion for fraud - perhaps even a Class Action. I'll wait and see if my issue gets resolved within the next 10 days or so.

Asurion is AWESOME!
Ok, so let me start with the fact that you should NOT waste your time calling Amazon's customer service if you think you have a claim under Asurion's monthly protection plan. CALL ASURION! I wasted almost an hour with Amazon representatives that have absolutely no training in how the Asurion plan works, or even any idea if my item was covered. In fact, they told me the mechanized chair I purchased under the plan wasn't covered! Finally, my call got escalated to a manager who was just as clueless about my coverage, but had the best idea ever... call Asurion! The smartest thing I did that morning was hang up with Amazon, and reach out to Asurion as I should have done in the first place. Dealing with Asurion's customer service, after my Amazon call, was like being elevated to VIP status! 😄 Asurion's rep nicely took all my info, including the chair's purchase date and order number. Then they asked that I upload a couple of pictures of the product, along with a written description of the malfunction I had mentioned over the phone. This is where it gets really good. They told me they'd review the claim to determine if they'd send a repair specialist or reimburse me the cost of the item. In less than 48 hours, they determined that a payout was in order, and sent me an email that included an Amazon gift card for the total cost of the item minus the taxes I had paid, which I loaded directly into my Amazon wallet. Apparently, Asurion does not include the purchase taxes in their coverage. But, I can live with that. All in all, Asurion's claims division get a double thumbs up 👍🏽👍🏽, and the company gets big ups from me for not only standing behind their protection plan, but doing so expeditiously! Special note: If you buy a lot of stuff from Amazon, and have Asurion's monthly protection plan, scroll the item listing before pulling the trigger on your purchase... you need to see the green streamer that indicates your product is protected by the plan. If you don't see that, check to see if there are alternative products that might be covered. There are very few electronic or high ticket items that aren't covered, but looking for that green banner in the item description that says it's covered is key to foregoing any future headaches.
