65: Building Franchising Success with John Evans - a podcast by The Richard Dri Podcast

John Evans, Founder and CEO of Everline Coatings and Services, is my very special guest on the podcast today. After working and learning about franchising at College Pro Painters, John left and went on to start Everline, a company that provides high quality and efficient line painting services for parking lots, roadways, parkades, and warehouses. There are currently 18 Everline franchises across Canada, and they are looking to extend into the United States with the possibility of another 350 there. A prime example of an entrepreneur with an eye for discovering a need and filling it, John has a great deal of knowledge and advice to share here today.

 

He begins by reviewing what he did and learned with College Pro Painters, his idea to franchise line painting, and his experience with Dragons’ Den. John then goes on to share how he raises capital, what a franchisee can expect to experience with Everline, his company’s current profitability status, and what has surprised him the most over his franchise journey. His career low point and how he moved out of it, his investments outside of the company, the ways he protects his money, and the people who have influenced him the most are also discussed. Our conversation concludes with John’s vision for the next 5 years, and his valuable advice for entrepreneurs. John’s career has been one filled with lessons learned that have generated great success, making today’s interview one of incredible value to us all.
