Professional exterior/interior painting franchise that focuses on quality, service and value in a fragmented industry dominated by unreliable independents. Franchisee will own and manage the business; sub-contractor painting crews will do the work.
The service is in high demand even when the economy is down, and it meets all of your key model criteria:
- Franchisee will be able to build an equity business that is scalable; and
- Achieve the lifestyle goals that they’ve set.
Owner will join a team of professionals who care about one another, and who are passionate about their work.
This is a uniquely manageable business with:
- Few or ZERO employees;
- Low overhead; and
- Minimal operating expenses.
Successful owners attract, manage, lead and motivate a team of sub-contractor crews who wield the brushes and deliver the quality ProTect Painters service that the brand is known for.
THE OWNER MANAGES THE BUSINESS, SUB-CONTRACTORS DO THE WORK.
