Is Owning a Pest Control Business Right for You?
The Pest Control industry is booming. According to Specialty Consultants Research, the U.S. structural pest control market generated $8.175-billion in 2016, and experts now predict that service revenue will surpass $10-billion next year.
These are the kinds of figures that make investors’ ears perk up. But is owning a Pest Control business right for you?
Today’s post explains how the Pestmaster model simplifies start-up, alleviates growing pains, and makes owning a Pest Control business easier than ever.
Owning A Pest Control Business with No Experience Is 100% Viable
Contrary to popular belief, owning a Pest Control business requires no previous experience. While existing pest control company owners can convert their businesses to Pestmaster franchises (and enjoy a hefty discount in the process), greenhorns are welcome. In fact, some of our most successful owners entered into the system without any relevant skills.
The reason why is twofold. First, our training and support is unparalleled, capable of transforming total newcomers into Pest Control experts in a matter of weeks. Second, many investors choose to work as “semi-absentee owners,” relying on licensed staff to handle treatment services and focusing instead on management and marketing.
Money Matters: Can You Afford Owning A Pest Control Business?
Owning a Pest Control business is possible for as little as $30,000-$85,000. Our streamlined, home-based model minimizes overhead expenditure so that you can tap into the lucrative pest control market for a fraction of the price you’d pay to break into other industries.
We also offer in-house financing that covers up to 50% of the franchise fee!
