Own A Franchise In The Rent To Own Business

A Rent-To-Own Retail Franchise From An RTO Leader

For almost three decades, ColorTyme has been renowned for its dedication to innovation and its people. We’re not only in the rent-to-own (RTO) business, but in the business of improving lives for our customers, franchisees and vendors. Our franchisee financing programs, where the ‘sweat equity’ of an experienced RTO manager holds as much value as a proven entrepreneur or a deep wallet, is testimony to our belief that the opportunity for business ownership should be open to all. We call this ‘People helping People,’ and it is this spirit, coupled with integrity in everything we do, that enables folks to achieve their ownership dreams through financing, training and other ColorTyme support programs.

We provide inventory financing, substantial and flexible merchandise buying programs, and stellar marketing program and graphics support. These are just some of the advantages of being a member of the ColorTyme family.

The ColorTyme franchising process is simple, straightforward and fast. Most new franchisees typically open their first store in about three to six months after signing a franchise agreement. Our support system doesn’t stop once the store is open. ColorTyme franchisees can also take advantage of customized training programs for every position, and award-winning marketing materials to help build their business.

Why a ColorTyme Rent To Own Franchise Could Be Right For You

Led by an executive team with 50+ years of combined RTO experience, we help franchisees with business plans and site selection as well as remodeling, lease negotiations, exterior signage, inventory orders and equipment specifications. And before their first ColorTyme store opens, each franchisee has access to rent-to-own’s most comprehensive training programs.

“In my 20 years in RTO, I have learned that finding the right company and people that believe in you is as important as your own determination and hard work. People, financing, product and training – four reasons I know I have found the right company – for myself, my family and my team.” - Bruce Emory, owner of three ColorTyme stores in Atlanta area
