The success story of the computer scientist who became a "Brother-in-law for rent" franchise

Without any past experience as a renovation contractor, this 37-year-old computer scientist chose to launch a “Brother-in-law for rent” franchise. For what? Because he aspired to a career that would allow him to be in contact with people and to realize his passion for renovation. Let's discover the story of Pierre Leclerc, the owner of the first “Beau-frère à hiring” franchise in the great city of Quebec.

Do like Peter

Become a successful franchisee too

Who is Pierre Leclerc?

Pierre Leclerc is the proud owner of the “Beau-frère à hiring – Limoilou” franchise in Quebec. At 37, despite his lack of experience in market development and client management, he created an impressive momentum, with appointments that quickly allowed him to fill his calendar for the first month in his first week in as a franchisee. With the support of the marketing team of “Beau-frere for rent”, Pierre was able to acquire his first customers and increase traffic on his website from zero to more than 500 visits in just one month of operation.

The franchise completely reinvented!

We changed the rules of the game

Why did Pierre choose "Brother-in-law for rent" to go into business for the first time?

Pierre, like many of his generation, was looking for a career that would fascinate him. His interest in renovation grew over the years, during which he renovated his own income properties. The idea of ​​spending the rest of his career working alone in front of a computer screen did not excite him. He wanted to be useful, meet people and do a job he was passionate about. The methods, the tools, the training, but above all the experience in the field of Beau-brother for rent greatly reassured him when he decided to embark on the adventure. His talents and his passion for renovation and franchisor support greatly made up for his lack of experience.

Do you want to become a renovation contractor in Quebec?

That's exactly what I did in 2009 when I got my RBQ license and started Beau-Frere for rent. I can say today that starting this business and becoming my own boss was the best decision of my career. I hope you will find in this article a wealth of useful information to obtain your RBQ license and start your renovation business.

Do you know the Beau-frère franchise for rent?

The solution to obtain an RBQ license and start a business quickly.

The traditional method VS the Brother-in-law method.

You can do all the steps in the traditional way, as I did in 2009 by acquiring my experience on the job, or you can consider my proposal, which consists of becoming a franchisee of Beau-brother for rent. I show you both methods step by step in this article.

The method that I propose to you for obtaining a license is that of the Franchise Brother-in-law for rent.

The franchise completely reinvented!

We changed the rules of the game

The method that I propose to you is designed so that you can work on your renovation business and pocket an income from day 1, even before obtaining a license.

From what I know, we are the first franchisor in the renovation market to offer such an approach.

So here are the main lines, you will notice that the steps are almost completely reversed compared to the traditional method:

  • Take advantage of the reputation of the Beau-frère for rent brand and its expertise to obtain your first customers in the chosen territory and take advantage of our expertise so that these new customers are profitable.

  • Work as a salaried employee in your territory first while you wait to get your license to carry out these renovations and start pocketing income from day one.

  • Take advantage of our call center to track your new requests while you work.

  • Follow our training courses while working to establish yourself well in your territory and learn everything you need to successfully manage a renovation business. Use our tools offered by Brother-in-law for rent to find more customers and be efficient.

  • Take online training with our partner as a student to quickly be ready to take the Régie du bâtiment du Québec exams.

  • Pass the exams.

  • Take control of the territory in which you worked as an employee and start your business with all the elements that you will have put in place to be profitable by now being a franchisee of a concept that you will have been able to test and that you will know to be the right opportunity. career for you.

Now that you know better Brother-in-law for rent

Take charge of your future and team up with us to obtain an RBQ license and start business quickly.

It all starts with obtaining a license from the Régie du Bâtiment du Québec (RBQ)

Let's start at the beginning - you need an RBQ license (Quebec Building Authority). But in an ideal world, you'll want to continue earning a good salary until you get your license while preparing to launch your business to make sure it's successful and profitable sooner rather than later.

If you think this is going to be difficult, time consuming and expensive, well you're not entirely wrong. Unless… I'm not too much in the field with this article and I manage to put my finger on some good information to make your life easier.

Either way, I'm going to show you how it's possible to get your license easily and at low cost in addition to continuing to earn a good salary and being 100% ready to launch your renovation business once you have the license in hand. Let's go!

The traditional method for obtaining a license and starting your business:

  • Training and studying for exams.

  • Pass the exams to obtain the trade or general contractor license.

  • Complete the legal steps to start your business as a specialized contractor in Quebec.

  • Develop a marketing plan to find your first customers.

  • Start your business alone from ground zero.

  • Learn on the job

  • Finally, pocket your first profits in the field of renovation.

Take training for the Régie du bâtiment de Québec exams.

This is the most common method. You follow a course that helps you prepare for exams, these courses are offered to the public and private. It can take a lot of time and money. A section of this article will deal with this topic in detail.

Pass the exams to obtain the trade contractor license.

After investing in the courses, which can be expensive, you will then need to take the time to study and prepare for the Régie du Bâtiment du Québec exams. And if you don't pass the exams, you'll have to wait and start over.

Complete the legal procedures to start your business in Quebec as a specialized contractor.

This includes obtaining a Quebec Enterprise Number (NEQ), tax numbers, purchasing insurance, and obtaining a bond for your RBQ license.

Develop a marketing plan to find your first customers.

This includes creating a website, setting up social media accounts, designing marketing materials and researching ways to market your business and familiarizing yourself with the concept of advertising on Google. It can be a lot of work and also a good budget.

Start a business alone from scratch and learn on the job.

It may seem simple, but what are the most profitable services? What are the prices you have to charge? How should you manage new requests while ensuring you are serving current customers well? How to maintain good compatibility? The right answers to these and many other equally important questions take a lot of trial and error if you want to find them for yourself.

Finally, pocket your first profits as a specialized contractor.

This can take time, especially when starting from scratch. And it's not always easy to find customers who are willing to pay the right price when our reputation in the renovation field is still to be built.

In both methods, it is important to know what is an RBQ license and why do you need it?

See the article: “How to Start a Renovation Business” 

Let's start with the basics. The Régie du bâtiment du Québec (RBQ) must assess the professional skills of the construction company in several areas of qualification, namely: administration, safety management on construction sites, project and site management and the execution of construction works. 

The RBQ offers 3 means of evaluating professional skills to grant a license:

1 – Take the RBQ exams: consult the Exams section to find out how many exams you will have to take and to obtain information that will help you prepare for them.

2 – Have successfully completed a training program recognized by the RBQ: you must provide certificates of successful completion of recognized training programs with the license application.

3 – Have sufficient professional experience and educational achievements in the following qualification areas: administration, safety management on construction sites, project and construction site management, execution of construction works. In this case, you will be able to obtain equivalences by presenting a professional file. 

The regular process to obtain your license from the Régie du bâtiment du Québec.

So, unless you have already taken training or already accumulated recognized experience, if you want to obtain your RBQ license, you should generally go about it in this way:

1. Take a training course or learn on your own.

2. Pass the exams.

3. Submit a license application to the RBQ.

4. Pay tax and duty.

Online training allows you to consolidate work / studies

Is the best training for obtaining the RBQ license public or private?

Even if it is theoretically possible to study alone and without training, I believe that this option is very risky, requires too much energy and especially time. It is far better to take training to prepare for the various RBQ exams that are offered, either by public bodies or private training companies. These courses will allow you to acquire the theoretical knowledge necessary to pass the exams. 

Obtain RBQ exam preparation training from a public body such as:

Benefits

Very complete courses

Qualified trainers

Training now offered online

Disadvantages

Training over a long period (more than 400 hours of training)

More expensive training ($4000 and more for all modules)

Success rate of almost 100%

It is very difficult to combine this training and a full-time job if you want to obtain a license quickly.

Obtain private RBQ exam preparation training:

Training courses are offered by private companies and can cost between $700 and $1.

Such as :

 

– FormationConstruction.com

– RbqCompetence.ca

– RbqLicence.com (GSC)

Benefits

Training over a shorter period: less than 50 hours

More accessible training cost (nearly $1000)

Training 100% accessible online at your own pace and remotely

Accompanying service

Over 98% success rate

Possibility to redo the training if you are not sufficiently prepared before the exams

Disadvantages

Training focused on passing exams, therefore less complete.

The option used with the Brother-in-law franchise for rent:

Although the 2 options are very good, in order to allow you to obtain a specialized contractor's license quickly while allowing you to work full time and develop your territory, we preferred the training offered to the private sector. 

Training for RBQ license at a price of $0 is possible!

Through a partnership with Building training, our franchisees get a price for RBQ training at $500, an exclusive price for Beau-frère franchisees for rent. In addition, the Brother-in-Law for Rent franchise start-up program includes a $500 reward as a bonus after passing the exams. So a final cost for training and preparation for RBQ exams at $0.

Why FormationConstruction.com is our best choice for online training for the RBQ license?

Once again, although all the online training courses offered are of very good quality and they all offer an excellent prospect of success, we have made our choice on FormationConstruction.com for the following reasons :

  • Easy-to-follow and well-structured online training
  • A very clear service offer
  • A great support team
  • A very reasonable price

2. Pass the exams. Make a request to obtain a date for the exams at the RBQ before or after the training?

As you should expect a delay of 4 to 8 weeks before obtaining an exam date from the RBQ, I strongly advise you to apply as soon as possible before even starting the training.

RBQ exams are divided into two categories: theoretical exams and practical exams. The theoretical exams are composed of multiple-choice questions and relate to the different areas of qualification, such as administration, safety management on construction sites, project and construction site management, and the execution of construction works. . The mark must be 60% or more.

Practical exams, on the other hand, consist of multiple-choice questions and questions that require a written answer. These exams also cover the different areas of qualification and allow you to demonstrate your practical knowledge. 

3. Submit a request for a specialized or general contractor.

Once the theoretical and practical exams have been passed, you will have to submit an application to the Régie du Bâtiment du Québec by selecting the sub-categories for which you would like to be registered, personally I suggest that you select them all. This request must be accompanied by the following documents: – A certificate of civil liability insurance – A bank account statement – ​​The license application fee.

4. Pay taxes and duties

Once your license application has been approved and you own it, you will need to pay an annual fee. This tax is payable each year and allows you to keep your license valid. $$$$

Tips for starting your renovation business in Quebec.

I invite you to consult another article in which I see in detail all the important elements to start a renovation business in Quebec. Here are the main lines.

It is important to do some research on the legal requirements.

You should familiarize yourself with the specific rules, local laws and regulations depending on your legal entity. With the Beau-frère franchise for rent, you will be accompanied by our expert. Otherwise, you can ensure your compliance by consulting the websites of the following government agencies:

  • Your NEQ will allow you to obtain your tax numbers

  • Apply for a bond for your contractor's license

  • Obtain liability insurance from an insurance company

The financial plan: A guarantee of success for a new renovation company.

Have a good financial plan

One of the great difficulties for an entrepreneur is to properly describe his business objectives and strategies. You will need to have your financial plan on hand. This will include your anticipated expenses (including start-up costs, labor, materials, marketing, and administrative costs), seeking financing, as well as your projected income and growth as an entrepreneur. Having financial security in place will help you stay on track and ensure that as an entrepreneur you will be profitable. The Brother-in-law for rent franchise business model has already done this work for you.

Develop a real marketing plan for your renovation business

Marketing plan: the essentials for an entrepreneur

You will need to find creative activities to satisfy your target market and their expectations. Here are some questions to ask yourself:

Who are you going to offer your services to? Residential owners. Yes, that's obvious, but are there types of work in certain areas of home improvement that are an ideal type of client for you…and your wallet?

Once you have identified a target market, you will need to create a marketing plan and activities to reach those potential customers, such as:

  • Choose a business name and logo that will stick in people's minds.

  • Create an original website and blog that will position itself effectively on Goolge searches

  • Distribution of pamphlets and business cards

  • Advertising on your truck

Once again, the model offered by the Beau-frère franchise for rent already offers a turnkey solution for all of these elements.

It is also important to have specialized technological tools for renovation contractors.

  • Get your bookkeeping in order with good accounting software

  • Use the specialized CRM software or application for renovation companies to keep control over your business.

CRM (Customer Relationship Management) software helps you track your customers, leads and billing. It also allows you to manage your sales pipeline and marketing campaigns. With a good CRM, you will have more time to develop your customer base.

Finally, do you want to start your activities as an entrepreneur alone or as a team?

Starting a renovation business on your own

If you are considering the project of creating your business by yourself, and managing everything alone, it is doable and I sincerely wish you the best of success. Becoming an entrepreneur is a risk, but also a great adventure. By following these tips and with a bit of sweat, I'm sure you will succeed.

The advantages of doing it alone:
  • You are the boss and you make all the decisions

  • You keep all the profits

  • No entry fees !!!

    Avoid getting into debt and conserve your cash.

    Compared to other traditional franchisors, we believe in real risk sharing. We only succeed if you are successful too. Entry fees are replaced by a monthly subscription to the Connect-forces network.

  • Free to stay or not, It's up to you!

    If you stay with us as a franchisee, it's because you are successful, not because you signed a contract.

  • Share expenses to increase your profits!

    Share with all other franchisees of all banners the costs of the call center, a diverse team of experts and high-performance technological tools.

  • Pay only the services you request! 

    We don't all have the same budget, available time or interests, do you want to delegate more? It's possible ! Do more yourself? It’s also possible!
