How can I pay for it?
There are many financing options for you. Funding your franchise is not hard.ostly vary depending on the tow vehicle you choose to use.
We have 3rd party lenders we work with ready to help you right now.
Home Refinance or Equity Line of Credit: As the market rebounds, you might have more equity in your home. Potential franchisees can often refinance their homes, thanks to low interest rates, and pull enough capital out to purchase a franchise. We suggest that you check with your local credit union or community bank; often, they are willing to work with customers. You might also be able to secure a line of credit based on your home equity portion, which can help with ramp-up costs.
401(k) or IRA Roll Over: Tapping into your retirement fund is a popular way to fund a business. There are several advantages, and there are no financial penalties if you do it right. By creating a C corporation and corporate retirement account and moving corporate stocks, you can, in effect, loan money to yourself. It is always a popular financing option.
Cash: While Worried Bird only requires a minimum liquidity of $30,000, you may have more capital you could use to get started. If you have the liquidity, cash is always a great way to invest. Your savings could be the key to unlocking a richly rewarding investment without the hassle of third parties, tax penalties, or interest rates.
Friends and Family: A great place to make up any gap remaining friends and family that believes in what you're doing is a great resource to get the leftover capital needed to make your business ownership a reality.

How much money will I make?
It is a great question! By law, we're not allowed to say how much you are "going" to make. However, the capacity of a Gig Rig trailer is about $1,500/day.
How do I get customers?
Great question!
There's a lot that happens here! To name a few, we provide sales services to help you get started and to help you land and expand commercial and residential accounts and routes.
You'll also receive constant weekly video training in our training academy, coupled with a robust, in-the-field playbook detailing how to find customers, keep them, and expand them.
A routine phone call keeps you accountable and on track with your targets, goals and your ultimate vision.
PLUS A WHOLE LOT MORE that we can't tell you about here. 😉 We are proficient with client acquisition. It's our strong suit. We'll show you how we do it!
How many Gig-Rigs can I buy?
As many as you need! If you want to grow your territory and operations, multiple Gig Rigs can be built and shipped to your area within about 8 weeks.
What if I don't have any prior experience?
That's just it! You don't need any prior experience. All you need a strong desire to grow a brand and build something you'll be proud of.
What kind of tow vehicle do I need?
A truck is best. We require a vehicle that is no more than ten years old. Your hitch must be able to carry 3,500 lbs. If you don't have a truck, that's okay! Another capable vehicle will work, but it will need to be approved before the service begins.
How long does the process take?
After signing your franchise agreement, you can count on starting after about 75 days.
- 60 days to build your Gig Rig
- 14 days of training
- 1 launch day
How much overhead is there?
Our system is lean and efficient. It allows little overhead, high margins and flexibility. No need for office space either. Park the rig at home and reap the rewards of mobile service delivery.
How do I scale?
Starting with a single rig is a great place to start. After your rig reaches capacity, you can:
- Acquire a new territory to service
- Acquire another Gig Rig to service your current territory
- Both 1 and 2
It is scaled as you grow - keeping expenses as linear as possible.
