How Malibu Pools Transformed Their Custom Design Business into a Scalable Franchise Model

AFI helped Malibu Pools prepare for expansion with a strong foundation in legal compliance, operational systems, and brand strategy.

The Opportunity

A High-End Brand, Ready to Grow

Malibu Pools had earned a strong reputation in the luxury pool design and construction space — offering custom, high-quality builds with a focus on client experience. With increasing demand and a proven model, the brand was ready to franchise. They partnered with AFI to ensure their systems, structure, and messaging could support growth without sacrificing quality.
