Would you prefer to enter a new industry completely unsupported? Or instead, join a network of businesses all using the same proven business model? It’s clear which option is more likely to end with a more favourable outcome – choose a pest control franchise.
To remove an infestation, you’ll need to go into a customer’s place of work or even their home. Building this level of trust from scratch takes time. While franchise opportunities give you the chance to start your new venture with a fully established reputation.
To efficiently serve your customers, you’ll need an operation booking system as well as all of the correct licensing, certificates and insurance. The easiest way to get all of these? Buying a franchise.
First, you’ll need to send an inquiry. You should bear in mind that franchisors are looking for motivated and self-disciplined individuals with a level of business management experience. You don’t need to be a pest infestation removal expert, but you’ll need to showcase a strong willingness to learn. If you match a given franchisor’s parameters, you’ll be asked to attend an interview where you’ll also be able to find out every advantage this pest control franchise opportunity can offer you.
Proceed with signing your agreement and you’ll be given a licence to your parent company’s brand, which you can then use to operate out of an area they designate. During the time you are a franchise owner, you’ll be expected to mimic the business model of your franchisor and uphold the standards they’ve established while working in the pest control industry. Does all of this sound acceptable? Then don’t hesitate to purchase the franchise for sale you’ve identified.
Today, health and hygiene standards have never been higher. In fact, it’s a legal requirement for restaurants, schools, workplaces and similar spaces to be free of pests. So, it’s unsurprising that the pest control market is currently reliable and lucrative, and full of profitable business opportunities for any aspiring entrepreneur…
Cockroaches. Rats. Bed bugs. Dust mites. They can infest anywhere and it’s often very difficult to remove them without the use of professional standard equipment and products. This kind of speciality is hard to come across and if a client is satisfied by the results of a service, they’re highly likely to use the same brand again in the future.
Plus, due to the nature of what they provide, pest control companies often don’t need to own or rent permanent premises. Bookings can be made online through a website without any face-to-face contact – meaning no office space is needed. Moreover, once jobs are arranged, they will always be carried out at a designated residential or commercial address with payment normally taken on-site. Therefore, the monthly costs of running a pest control franchise are relatively low compared to those in other industries.
Following your purchase of a pest control franchise, you’ll be given full marketing support. But you’ll also benefit from the nature of the services you provide. You’ll most likely be operating out of a branded van. Customers will see you helping neighbours or colleagues and make note of the results you achieve. Making you their first call when they have their own infestation.
If you have no experience in the sector, it’s reasonable for a pest control franchise opportunity to seem intimidating. But with your franchisor’s backing, you’ll be able to learn the art of infestation removal and be able to train any future employees.
Having second thoughts about the investment required to purchase a franchise business for sale? Don’t. Investors prefer franchises because they almost always succeed.
