RedKnight is built as a remote marketing franchise from day one. Client consultations and most of your day-to-day work can be handled remotely and from home. Since you can’t market outside your territory, you do need a strong local presence, and membership in a local referral-based networking group is part of the model.

No. You focus on building relationships with local business owners. Our team handles the marketing execution, so there is no need to learn SEO, ad platforms, or web design yourself.

Training starts with one week at our headquarters in Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania, covering marketing strategy, client development, and business operations. Ongoing support includes continued training and coaching, marketing materials, operational guidance, and access to our proprietary tools and technology.

AI is built into our RED Process. It helps create a blueprint of each client’s business, which supports customer targeting, strategy development, and messaging, and it helps with campaign optimization so the work gets done more efficiently.

You will primarily work with small business owners who market locally, including the trades and service-based businesses, helping them improve their digital presence and marketing. If you already know a market segment well, you may choose to focus there.

Yes. As a RedKnight franchisee, you get a defined, protected territory. While your franchise agreement is in good standing, RedKnight won’t place another franchise or company-owned office inside it. The full terms, including what it takes to keep it, are in Item 12 of the Franchise Disclosure Document.

You don’t need a marketing background to run a RedKnight franchise. You focus on building relationships with local business owners, and our corporate team handles the marketing execution behind the scenes. Add the ability to run your franchise from home, without a storefront, and RedKnight looks very different from franchises that hand you the marketing work and expect you to figure it out.

Yes. RedKnight has been a marketing agency since 2006 and launched franchising in 2020. We are still early in building out our franchise network, which means you would come in as a founding franchisee, helping shape the systems, training, and culture future owners will inherit.

The start-up investment runs $18,045 to $36,175 based on a home office, including the $9,900 initial franchise fee. Ongoing fees include a royalty and a brand development fund contribution, both calculated on gross revenue. See the full breakdown.

We won’t answer that with a number, and you should be careful with anyone who does. What you earn depends on your market, your effort, and your sales ability. The place to look for financial information is our Franchise Disclosure Document, which you review before you commit to anything.

Good questions to bring to your franchise attorney include how fees are calculated and what support is guaranteed versus optional. We would rather you ask too many questions than too few. Take your time with it.
