The first question that probably comes to mind when embarking on a new business venture is: "How much will it cost?" And then, "What will I get in return?" Here's what you can expect out of your Pillar To Post franchise investment.
Franchising may be attractive for its many freedoms and your ability to finally be your own boss, but it does come at a cost. Before signing on with any franchise, you should understand the financial requirements, as well as what you can expect in return. We keep the Pillar To Post franchise investment relatively low so franchisees don't break the bank when they start their career with us. And in return, you will receive - in addition to our widely respected brand name -- a sophisticated network of support, a suite of marketing resources, and a foothold in a thriving industry. When you take these benefits into account, investing in the home inspection industry with one of our franchises is one of the best career decisions you can make.
Startup Costs
All franchisees want a low-cost franchise, with as few upfront expenses as possible. While we can't eliminate all upfront costs for obvious reasons, we've kept our franchise fee relatively low at an affordable $21,900, with financing available for $9,000 of the total. For veterans or existing home inspectors, further financing is available as well. We also only require 7% of gross revenue as a royalty payment. But a Pillar To Post franchise investment is only worth it if you see a profit in the end, and while no exact projections or guarantees can be made, the average gross revenue of a Pillar To Post franchisee has increased by 35% since 2012, and looks to be growing steadily.
Resources and Support
When you make the Pillar To Post franchise investment, you will have full use of our in-house marketing agency. Our expert marketers will help you create a customized marketing strategy to reach a broad audience, which is incredibly important for creating brand awareness. Each franchisee is also assigned a personal business coach with years of marketing experience in our industry. They will be integral to positioning you to reach a broad audience and attract the right kind of business.
If you don't have much business experience, don't worry. We don't expect new franchisees to have all the answers. That's why we have a team of 30+ people dedicated to help you grow your franchise and guide you through any obstacles. Each franchisee is assigned a personal business coach with years of franchise experience, and who is specially trained to provide you with the resources you need to make your investment worthwhile.
A Healthy Industry
Many industries are bogged down by too many franchises all providing the same services and competing for the same customers. The home inspection industry doesn't have that problem. No single company dominates our space, meaning there's plenty of room for new franchisees to make their mark. Home inspection is a $3 billion industry right now, with a steady and encouraging rate of growth.
