Own a Gotcha Covered®
Franchise
Invest in a home-based custom window-treatment business — blinds, shades, shutters, and draperies — with no showroom and no inventory,
backed by the training and support of Five Star Franchising.
This is a business you buy and own, with the capital to match — it is not a position with Gotcha Covered®. If you're ready to invest in a low-overhead, high-margin business you run from home, here's what it takes.

Why Own a Gotcha Covered?
No showroom, no inventory, no staff required — low overhead by design.
You own the business and guide the design. Professional installers do the work.
A simple flat-fee royalty — predictable costs and higher earning potential.
A proven, scalable model with full Five Star Franchising training and coaching.
A Lean, High-Margin Design Business
A Home-Based Business by Design
No showroom, no inventory, no staff. Products ship vendor-direct from manufacturers, so there's no warehousing — just low overhead, strong margins, and lean operations you can run from home.
You Own It — Pros Do the Install
You buy the franchise and run the business: guiding customers through custom blinds, shades, shutters, and draperies, then overseeing the project while professional installers complete the work.
You bring the capital and the people skills. Window-treatment and design experience aren't required.
Backed by Five Star Franchising
As a Five Star Franchising brand, owners get in-depth training, business-management software (quoting, CRM, scheduling, vendor tools), lead generation and marketing, a nationwide peer network, and ongoing coaching.
Every Window Is
an Opportunity
Aging homes, new builds, and businesses alike need window coverings — giving the category steady, year-round demand that doesn't depend on a storefront or the economy. That's the demand behind the business you'd own.

Is This You?
Gotcha Covered owners are investors and business builders, not installers. They have the capital to invest, and they'd rather own the business and guide the client than do the labor themselves. Owners tend to share the same traits.
You have the capital, or the funding, to invest in a business.
You enjoy guiding clients through decisions they'll love.
You'll run a proven playbook instead of reinventing it.
You build referral networks and repeat clients.
You sweat the measurements and the finish.
You see one territory as the start, not the ceiling.
Frequently Asked Questions
