Franchise Model

Are you a current owner operator looking to transfer ownership and continue your business’s legacy? Are you a current owner operator looking to keep ownership and transition your business into a franchise? By becoming a Nix Industrial Franchise, you’ll benefit from our generational experience and established systems / processes. This will help grow your business, maximize your profits and add long-term value to your operation. 

If you’re not a current owner operator, but you are looking to own your own business, we’ve got you covered. Our team will collaborate with you to acquire an existing business and seamlessly integrate it into our franchise network, setting you on the path to entrepreneurial success.

What Business will you franchise?

Coatings & Finishings

With so many manufacturers in the marketplace, we can help navigate what equipment is best suited for your business from our decades of experience in coatings & finishings. We will help plan the overall layout, which plays a crucial role in your profitability and overall throughput of a coating operation. Having the proper estimation and management systems in place to efficiently run takes years of trial and error, which we have worked through already.

Metal Fabrication or Machining

The number of metal services business startups are on the decline due to the barriers to entry, high costs involved in setting up a business, and the departure of the baby boomer workforce. With a Nix Industrial Franchise, we help do the heavy lifting with you. This is an incredible opportunity for potential owner-operators to step into a business with an existing client base that is amplified by the NIX brand reputation known for quality, reliability, and longevity.

Field Service

Owning and operating your own service truck (or fleet of trucks) can be a great way to dramatically increase your income and build long term wealth. With the support of our franchise network, we can make this transition much easier and safer. We will help provide you with sales leads, business coaching and mentorship, administrative tools, and back-office resources.
