Established in 2004, the Hunting Lease Network (HLN) was founded with the mission to connect landowners and sportsmen across the United States, facilitating the leasing of quality hunting lands. The company is headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, and operates as a licensed broker under Farmers National Company.
HLN offers an internet-based platform where landowners can list their properties for lease, and hunters can bid on these listings, ensuring exclusive hunting rights with the possibility of annual renewals. The network provides a seamless bidding process, allowing members to place bids and manage leases efficiently online.
What sets HLN apart from competitors is its comprehensive approach to lease management, offering services that benefit both landowners and hunters. Landowners gain a reliable source of income while maintaining control over their property, and hunters access a wide array of hunting grounds tailored to their preferences.
Here's what you would need to invest if you were to start this franchise. These costs are provided by the franchisor in the Franchise Disclosure Document.
The Hunting Lease Network® franchise provides several types of training programs for franchisees:
The Hunting Lease Network® provides exclusive territory rights to franchisees, as detailed in the Franchise Agreement. While the agreement prevents the franchisor from granting new franchises or opening company-owned outlets in that territory, this protection applies only if the franchisee remains in compliance.
If the franchisee fails to meet performance standards, the franchisor may reduce the territory, allow new franchises, or establish its own operations within it. Thus, territory protection is conditional, not guaranteed.
