If you are looking for information on the Anchored Tiny Homes franchise business opportunity, Anchored Tiny Homes franchises or Anchored Tiny Homes franchising, then you have come to the right place.
Anchored Tiny Homes (ATH) is on a mission to solve the housing crisis in the United States. As an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) franchise, ATH allows Franchise Owners to make a difference in their communities while generating some of the best numbers shown in the ADU industry.
Become a pioneer in the world of ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) with an Anchored Tiny Homes franchise!
What is an ADU?
Accessory dwelling units are the future! They are stick-built homes assembled on-site in the yard of a current residence (think guest houses or granny flats). ADU Owners typically include investors, aging parents, children returning from college, and more. With interest rates continuing to climb, ADUs offer an economical way for Americans to afford housing.
Who We Are
Started by the Paulhus family (a father and two sons) with over 30 years of experience in the construction industry, Anchored Tiny Homes (ATH) is a tiny home franchise.
When the Paulhus family started to notice the crisis America was facing in terms of lack of housing, they felt the need to intervene.
From the inception of ATH in 2019, the family was not only overwhelmed by the need for tiny homes but also the interest from others looking to start ATH businesses in their markets.
Our business model affords anyone (no construction experience required) to get in on the ground floor of what is quickly becoming the most sought-after space in the home service industry.
Solving One of America's Largest Problems: The lack of affordability in the United States has made it hard for millions of people to own a home. As a franchise owner, you would be helping aging parents, children returning home from college, investors, and more with a solution to this growing crisis.
Full-Service Lead Generation: From the second you launch your franchise, the ATH corporate team will deploy ads, qualify every single lead that comes in, and set all sales appointments for you, freeing up your time to focus on generating revenue!
Design & Engineering Support: Once you sign a customer, the corporate ATH team will help recruit and find top talent in your local market as well as assist every step of the way in overseeing successful design, plans, and engineering. You will have help with all the complex pieces of the business and spend the majority of your time handling permitting and overseeing construction.
Semi-Absentee Friendly: Not only are we a low investment model with exceptional returns, but we also don't require you to necessarily be involved in the day-to-day of the business. If you would like to run your ATH franchise semi-absentee, you will need to hire a trusted Project Manager to oversee the day-to-day operations.
Do You Qualify?
As a brand new franchise opportunity, we are looking for pioneers and go-getters who thrive on the idea of being first to market.
We are also looking for the following characteristics in our partners:
Owner Operators or Semi-Absentee Owners: Whether you want to be involved in the day-to-day or not, you can still own an ATH franchise!
Owner-Operators will be going to customers' homes, building estimates and proposals, selling the jobs, and leading the general contractors.
Semi-Absentee owners will put a strong general manager in place and oversee the business from a high level. One of our current owners only works on his ATH part-time and is still seeing impressive returns!
Strong Sales Background: We are not looking for people with construction backgrounds, but we are looking for those with sales backgrounds.
To be successful in the business, you need to be able to sell the jobs and then confidently communicate with your GC and other crews to fulfill them.
Desire To Impact The Community: At ATH, we thrive off great revenues, but we are also just as motivated by helping to solve the U.S. housing crisis. When you become an owner with us, we expect you to be just as focussed on this mission.
The information presented may have changed since first published. We recommend that you always verify fees, investment amounts and offers with the business opportunity directly prior to making a decision to invest.
1. What training and ongoing support do you provide?
You want to know what happens after you pay the initial fee. A strong franchisor provides comprehensive pre-opening training, site-selection help, operational playbooks, and continuous assistance with marketing, technology, and supply chains.
2. What is the total initial investment, and did actual startup costs match the estimates in Item 7 of the FDD?
The Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) lists estimated startup costs in Item 7, but real-world expenses can run higher. Asking how closely current owners tracked to these estimates reveals if you need extra working capital or if hidden fees exist.
3. How do royalties and local/national marketing fees impact profitability?
You need to understand ongoing financial obligations-such as monthly royalty percentages and ad fund contributions-and evaluate whether the brand value and support justify cutting into your profit margins.
4. What are the common challenges new franchisees face, and how do you help them overcome them?
Transparent franchisors will openly discuss real hurdles like local competition, tight labor markets, or supply chain bottlenecks, and show you the exact playbook or field support they offer to solve them as well as allowing you to speak with other franchisees.
5. How many franchise locations have closed or left the system in the past few years, and why?
High turnover, store closures, or quiet franchise exits are major red flags. This question measures system stability, territory health, and whether the corporate team addresses struggling owners or lets them fail.
