Weathersby Guild
Franchise Information:
 At
a time when so many corporations, manufacturers and
other industries are struggling and susceptible to
economic downturns, there are some industries that hold
up better than most. Such is the furniture repair and
restoration field and Weathersby Guild’s franchise
opportunity is a fabulous opportunity for entrepreneurs
that want to work in their own business, while serving
clients as a master craftsman. If this sounds like you,
we can offer you an affordable franchise opportunity
that will include all the training and proven business
systems you need to open the doors of your new business.
No previous experience is necessary.
Competitive Differentiators: Why We Stand Out in the
Industry...
The hallmark of the Weathersby
Guild furniture repair franchise is our focus on skill
level and craftsmanship. The demand for quality in the
moving and transfer damage claims industry requires a
level of expertise which exceeds other service-oriented
businesses such as carpet cleaning or lawn maintenance.
Our curriculum is aggressive and includes training in
spot cleaning of upholstery and repairs to leather
furniture. The Guild model represents our vision of
continued growth in our craft.
A Strong Industry to Be Involved In...
Weathersby Guild brings its experience and industry
knowledge to individuals who want a true ground floor
opportunity. The art of furniture repair and restoration
presents a potentially rewarding business opportunity.
The overall market place is extremely broad, with a
variety of revenue sources including school systems,
hotel chains, office parks and of course, the moving and
transfer industry. The Weathersby Guild specializes in
furniture repair and restoration for the moving and
transfer damage claims industry, and presently serves
most of the major carriers in the United States. This is
a solid, exciting industry to be involved in.
A Complete Business
System: Benefit from Our Legendary Reputation...
When you purchase a Weathersby Guild franchise, you are
joining our family and will benefit from our experience,
reputation, and established relationships. For three
generations, the Weathersby Guild has provided the
highest level of quality and service to the field of
furniture repair and restoration arts. Our reputation is
unexcelled and our commitment to craftsmanship and
service has become legendary in the industry. A great
challenge for any start-up business is developing new
accounts. Over the years, the Weathersby Guild has
cultivated and nurtured relationships with many of the
industry’s most recognized and respected names. Our
franchise owners will have opportunities to enter market
areas where established clients are already seeking our
services.
No Previous Experience is
Necessary!
We Will Train You on All Aspects of Running Your
Business!
The demands for quality repair and
restoration in the moving and transfer damage claims
industry require particular expertise that can only be
attained through specialized training. Our 21-day
training program is not a touch-up course. You will
begin your adventure with the Weathersby Guild as a
highly skilled craftsman and benefit from our ongoing
mentoring program. We will stand behind you throughout
your business ownership journey. Training includes:
-
 Franchisees
enter our 21-day training course in Atlanta, Georgia
as apprentices. They learn the art of furniture
repair and restoration under the tutelage of master
craftsmen, who provide on-the-job training through
actual repair visits in the Atlanta area. Upon
completion of the initial training course,
apprentices become journeymen repairmen. At that
point, they are qualified on all aspects of the
furniture repair arts – but their training does not
stop there. Through our on-going mentoring program,
franchisees continue to grow and learn skills and
techniques under the oversight of our master
craftsmen. Over time, journeymen repairmen qualify
to receive craftsmen designations, and finally
master craftsmen designations.
- Because the Weathersby Guild
specializes in servicing the household goods moving
industry, our curriculum includes extensive
instruction in damage claims handling procedures.
Instructors are experienced claims adjusting
professionals who provide thorough training in the
best methods and approaches used by the moving and
transfer damage claims industry.
- Additional training and
instruction is provided in the areas of
interpersonal skills, information technology and
marketing.
- After graduation from the
educational program, franchisees continue to be
updated on methods, practices and techniques through
trade-specific publications, forums and conferences.
The Weathersby Guild maintains a professional
standards committee responsible for continuing
education and mentoring.
