You sell.We build.
Own a local marketing business without doing the marketing yourself. You build the relationships. Our team builds the websites, SEO, and ad campaigns.
No marketing background required. No storefront. A straight conversation, no pressure.
Two jobs. You only do one of them.
Most people who would be good at owning a marketing business never start one, because they assume they would have to do the marketing. You don’t. Here is the split.
You sell.
You are the face of the business in your community.
- Meet and network with local business owners
- Find out what they need, guided by our RED Process
- Recommend the plan and manage the relationship
- Run your own business, on your schedule
We build.
Our team at RedKnight headquarters delivers the work for your clients.
- Website design and development
- Brand and graphic design
- SEO and local search
- Google Ads and pay-per-click
- Social media and content
- AI-enhanced strategy behind every plan
It’s your business. We’re the marketing team behind it.
You own the client relationships and run your own operation. We deliver the marketing your clients pay for.
Built for people who are good with people.
You don’t need a marketing degree, and you don’t need to know SEO, ad platforms, or web design. That is our side of the table. What matters is whether you can hold a real conversation with a business owner and keep showing up.
Built for: sales managers and reps, corporate professionals ready for a change, people whose role was cut, and experienced professionals who are not done yet.
This fits if you
- Are comfortable in sales conversations: discovery calls, proposals, follow-up
- Are self-directed. There is no storefront and no manager checking in
- Are coachable, and willing to follow a system before you improvise
- Have planned for the ramp-up, with reserves to cover personal expenses while the business builds
It probably doesn’t if you
- Would rather avoid selling altogether
- Expect the business to run without regular personal effort
- Want to improvise before you have learned the system
- Are looking for a side project, not a business you will actively run
Everything you need to open the doors. Minus the doors.
RedKnight was built to run from home. This is what comes with it.
The RED Process
Review, Evaluate, Design. Our AI-powered system builds a blueprint of each prospect’s business, so you walk into every conversation knowing how to help.
Training at headquarters
One week of hands-on training in Montgomeryville, PA for up to two people from your team. Then we stay with you through launch.
A full delivery team
Designers, SEO specialists, and ad managers do the work for your clients. You don’t hire, train, or manage them.
A protected territory
While your agreement is in good standing, we won’t place another RedKnight franchise or company-owned office inside your territory.
Home-based from day one
No commercial lease and no buildout. Client meetings and most day-to-day work can run from home.
Ongoing coaching
Continued training and coaching, plus the templates and marketing resources to keep growing.
A franchise you can start from your kitchen table.
No storefront means your money goes into your business, not a lease. We put the numbers on the page because you should see them before you ever talk to us.
Complete details, including the full fee schedule, are in our Franchise Disclosure Document. We walk through it with you.
Four steps from first conversation to grand opening.
No surprises. This is what happens after you send the form.
Say hello
Fill out the short form below. No commitment. It simply starts the conversation.
Get to know each other
An intro call about your goals and your questions. Then an application, so we both know it is a fit.
Look under the hood
Review our Franchise Disclosure Document on your own time, meet the team, and ask us anything.
Train and launch
Sign, train at our headquarters, and open in your territory with our team behind you.
The work is real. So is the freedom.
I’m not going to tell you this is easy. You’ll network. You’ll make calls. You’ll hear “no” before you hear “yes.” How far you go depends on your market, your effort, and how well you build relationships.
Here is what I can tell you. You won’t be doing it alone, and you won’t be building it from scratch. We started RedKnight in 2006 and have spent every year since working out how to market small businesses well. You get that structure on day one.
Gummi Sigurdarson
Founder, RedKnight
Where do you want to bring RedKnight?
We’re starting close to home: Pennsylvania and the states around us. If yours isn’t listed, ask us and we will tell you where things stand.
Our home region
- Pennsylvania
- New Jersey
- Delaware
- Ohio
- West Virginia
Somewhere else? Ask us. Some states require a separate franchise registration, and we will tell you where yours stands.
Straight answers.
The questions we hear on almost every first call.
Do I need marketing experience?
No. You focus on building relationships with local business owners. Our team handles the marketing execution, so there’s no need to learn SEO, ad platforms, or web design yourself.
Can I really run this from home?
Yes. RedKnight is built as a home-based franchise. Client consultations and most day-to-day work can be handled remotely. You do need a strong local presence, and membership in a local referral-based networking group is part of the model.
Is my territory protected?
Yes. You get a protected territory. While your franchise agreement is in good standing, we won’t open or grant another RedKnight franchise or company-owned office inside it. The full territory terms, including the rights we reserve, are in the Franchise Disclosure Document.
Is this a founding franchisee opportunity?
Yes. RedKnight has been a marketing agency since 2006 and began offering franchises in 2020. We’re awarding our first territories now, so you would come in as a founding franchisee, with an early choice of territory and a direct line to the people who built the system.
What does it cost to get started?
The startup 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 fund contribution, both calculated on gross revenue. The full fee schedule is in the Franchise Disclosure Document. See the full breakdown.
How much can I make?
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.
Your move.
