Our model provides resources to support franchisees in managing the business; no guaranteed lifestyle outcome is implied.

Our franchise model is a full-time, owner/operator model, and no experience is required. Our systems and processes are designed to support franchisees with the tools typical of a technology-driven, turnkey opportunity. The business is home-based, and there are no products to buy, warehouse, or distribute. There is no building to lease, no retail location, and no accounts receivable. All bookings are prepaid, and no employees are required.

At iTrip, we provide franchisees with personalized, comprehensive training and support as part of the program. Our technology-driven approach to the short-term rental property management industry has helped and we are dedicated to ongoing research and development to support our franchisees.

iTrip’s properties are listed on nationwide and international listing platforms as part of our distribution network. These listing sites are iTrip Channel Partners, not competitors, allowing our franchisees to promote their properties under management to a distribution network for short-term rental properties.

With our software platform and marketing strategies, the offering supports short-term rental property management. Our required net worth is $200,000, and franchisees are eligible for a 10% discount if they are military veterans.

History:

iTrip® originally started because the company’s founders had a need for their own vacation rentals and could not find an adequate solution in the marketplace. Focusing on a single territory, we have developed and operate in Panama City, FL, using a replicable model that can be applied to other markets. This territory allows us to continually test and perfect new innovative strategies that when successful, are ultimately shared system-wide.

From the beginning, our founders understood the importance of not only building a successful business model but also setting up systems to promote the business relationship between the franchisee and franchisor as mutually beneficial. iTrip® is a checklist driven system that continues to prove itself time and time again. Our ability to replicate the model in markets across North America serves as notice to the experience you receive with your investment. Your ability to work with our team of support personnel, to follow our checklists and systems, provides you an insurance plan from making some of the same mistakes we may have encountered through our long history.

iTrip® has chosen to stay focused on building our short term rental and property management franchise businesses one local market at a time. With an intense focus on single territory economics, we have found that oftentimes, when executed successfully, our owners can create a lifestyle that was originally their goal. By focusing on core markets, we have built scalable operations and sustainable growth within our franchise ecosystem.

often, when executed successfully, our owners can create a lifestyle aligned with the franchise opportunity.
