From Finance to Multi-Unit Franchise Owner
February 2026 - Kathryn Boyce, a multi-unit Sir Grout franchise owner in Central Florida, moved from a career in finance and management into franchise ownership because she wanted a proven system instead of starting from scratch. With structured training, marketing support, and clear operational systems, she built and scaled her business and now encourages other women to pursue entrepreneurship with confidence.

Established systems

Marketing support

Built-in accountability

Instead, she found that professionalism and expertise built trust quickly. Clients appreciated her detailed explanations and hands-on approach. By educating customers and delivering strong results, she earned credibility and referrals.
Her experience shows that leadership and execution matter more than industry norms.
