I’m Ty McBride — founder, franchise builder, and creator of the Built Together Business Model.
Over the last 15 years, I’ve built and sold multiple businesses in the building-maintenance and repair space — residential, commercial, and even historic preservation. My focus has always been on durable service businesses that can scale with technology and AI, but can’t be replaced by them. These are the kinds of businesses that give owners the strongest chance of success, stability, and a real exit.
Right now, everyone is talking about buying “boring businesses” and Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA).
But most people don’t have the deal flow, the capital stack, or the appetite to run a distressed or declining company.
This channel takes a different view.
I believe the best strategy for entrepreneurship today is Entrepreneurship Through Franchising (ETF) — acquiring a proven model, in a durable industry, with real support, predictable operations, and a faster path to profitability.
Here’s what you’ll find on this channel:
If you want a channel that blends ETA-level analysis with the repeatability, support, and long-term value of franchising, subscribe and stick around. We’re building something meaningful here.

The Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) can seem intimidating, but it doesn't have to be. In this video, I break it down specifically for home service franchises and show how it can be your strategic roadmap. Key Takeaways: The FDD is understandable, even without a legal background. Territory structures should focus on housing inventory, not just population. Clear financial performance representations show a franchisor's transparency. Vague or missing financial details are red flags. Fees in the FDD reveal the franchisor's support systems. Accurately assessing startup costs ensures you're properly capitalized. The FDD helps you future-proof your investment. A solid FDD reflects the franchisor's industry knowledge and commitment. Real operator feedback is crucial in shaping an effective FDD. Understanding the FDD isn't just a legal necessity—it's a smart business move.
