If you’re wondering how to own a restoration franchise with PuroClean and what some of our restoration franchise requirements might be, we’re happy to say our process and requirements are straightforward and basic. We look for candidates who are financially suited to work with the restoration franchise cost, of course, but who also show a love of community and a willingness to follow our time-tested business model. Below are answers to a few common questions we hear about our opportunity. There are many good questions to ask when buying a franchise — feel free to reach out to us with yours if you don’t see it here.
Do I Need Industry Experience?
Absolutely not! One of the great things about our opportunity to own a restoration franchise is that it comes with comprehensive training and support, so you can feel ready to leverage our business model and make the most of our recession-resistant industry. While experience isn’t necessary, we do look for potential franchise owners who are excited to learn how to start a water restoration business, who want to make a difference in their community, who have leadership abilities, and who are comfortable following the processes and procedures laid out in our model.
Will I Just Be Called on For Storm and Fire Damage Repair?
No. More often than not, you’ll be responding to the damage caused by everyday emergencies like broken pipes and kitchen fires, as well as mold issues and construction cleanup. Thousands of U.S. properties require attention from these kinds of occurrences every year, and your PuroClean franchise will be the go-to source for remediation. Natural disasters, like fires and floods, will also come into play, but not nearly as often as these more common scenarios.
How Much Money Can I Make?
This is a common question and one that really doesn’t have a definitive answer. A lot will depend on your operating and occupancy costs, your financing terms, and, most importantly, the efforts you put into your franchise and your ability to follow our business model effectively.
No franchisor can guarantee how any franchise will perform; what we can say is based on 2018 reported financials, 176 franchises reported average system-wide sales of $779,378, while 109 franchises reported an average gross margin of 56%.
