On Larry Shaw and HART Health Products Joe says:
“Larry Shaw’s leadership, not just over a few years, but over decades, has already given this company a reputation as a market leader that produces the best industrial first aid supplies on the market.”
On HART Health investment and start-up cost:
“This is one of the best things about HART Health. Initial investment is well under $70,000, yet it has a really strong earnings claim. The only other kinds of franchises that compare when it comes to low entry costs are cleaning and janitorial franchises.”
Video Interview with a HART Health driver and customer service representative:
HART Health franchise owners Grant and Michele Johnson will launch their business later this fall in the Minneapolis area. The couple, of St. Michael, Mn., bought the first HART Health franchise in Minnesota. Here’s what they have to say:
Grant and Michelle Johnson, Minneapolis Franchisees
HH: From an investment standpoint, would you recommend HART Health to other potential franchisees?
GJ: It is a no-brainer. It is extremely affordable.
MJ: If you have grown up middle class most of your life, most of us don’t have $100,000 or $200,000 around to put into a business nor do we want to go into debt to do it. I’ll go into debt for my house. I have a hard time going into $100,000 to $200,000 of debt for a business.
It is a great business for people who are great at sales or customer service but might not be strong in business administration. It is really about how do you do something that you can still do and not being eaten alive by all of the back office stuff. This allows us to have one of us doing it initially and other continue to work while we are starting up.
Don’t take our word for it. HART Health customers tell how much HART Health products has helped them.
