Owning a business is a life-changing decision. United Portraits systems allow entrepreneurs to realize their full potential as business owners who provide a valuable and necessary service to their communities. While the memories industry is widely praised as recession-resistant, our executive team has established an industry-leading business model that is far more comprehensive and forward-looking than other photography concepts.
For a $20,000 franchise fee, entrepreneurs get access to a proven business model with robust ongoing support, a professional call center that helps you win business, marketing team, operations team, training and field coaches, as well as high-margin revenue streams and the ability to scale up very quickly. We will work with you so that your United Portraits franchise becomes the leading, most professional volume photography business in your community and support you on your path to lasting success as a business owner.
This franchise fee covers the use of the United Portraits name, logo, trademarks, support staff and methods of doing business. Franchise financing may be available for those that qualify!
The total investment to open an United Portraits franchise ranges from $47,300-$136,750.
