About United Portraits
Since we opened in 2015 in Gilbert, Arizona, we have continued to grow exponentially, now servicing hundreds of clients throughout Arizona and neighboring states.
Our system allows operators to run a volume youth photography business from their home.
The United Portraits system is 100% proprietary, and we take innovation very seriously. We continually develop new processes and products that put us ahead of our competition.
United Portraits provides support though every step of the process, and we are focused on doing our best to help make you and your business successful.
We have taken the entire start to finish task list, and divided them out so that the menial and repetitive–but important tasks, are automated.
You’ll never have to crop, edit, print, or retouch a photo. You’ll never have to create and manage a website.
Spend all day focusing on what’s important. Relationships and managing your business.
Don’t get sucked into your business by having to worry about everything. We’re here to help you with everything. We’ve been there, done that. You’ll be part of our family, and we want you to succeed!

Benefits of Franchising
Owning a franchise offers most of the benefits of traditional business ownership with far less risk and provides additional aspects to assist with success. By buying into a franchise, you have the immediate backing of a recognized brand with a proven track record and business system.
Franchise Strength
The franchise sector has been expanding at a faster pace than the overall business sector in recent years. According to the International Franchise Association (IFA), from 2001 to 2005 the output of franchised businesses grew by more than 41 percent, while the economic output of all businesses grew by only 26 percent.
What are the risks?
Franchising is a commitment of your time and resources. You need to carefully consider questions such as: What would a typical day be like? Are you cut out to be your own boss? Are you good at delegating / supervising? Do you have the financial resources to live on while the franchise gets off the ground? Can you follow a system?
What can Franchising do for You?
Franchising means being in business for yourself, but not by yourself. Whether it’s accounting and financing, advertising and public relations, personnel management, purchasing, or inventory control, franchisors are there to provide “hands-on”, one-to-one assistance. Franchisees combine knowledge and resources with entrepreneurial drive and spirit to form a business relationship unique to franchising.
