Entrepreneurship Through Franchising w/ Ty McBride

I’m Ty McBride — founder, franchise builder, and creator of the Built Together Business Model. For 15 years I’ve built and sold service businesses in residential, commercial, and historic property maintenance. I focus on durable companies that scale with technology and AI but can’t be replaced by them — the kinds of businesses that give owners the highest chance of success and a real exit.

Everyone is talking about buying “boring businesses” and ETA. But most people don’t have the deal flow, capital, or appetite to fix broken companies. This channel takes a different path: Entrepreneurship Through Franchising (ETF).

Here you’ll find franchise owner interviews, expert conversations with brokers, lenders, CPAs, and attorneys, plus straightforward breakdowns of FDDs, Item 19s, financials, and unit economics.
