There are many costs to consider when starting a pest control business. If you decide to go with a franchise, you'll also have the franchise fee as well. This may seem like a downside, but investing in a franchise can help you address many of the other costs that come with starting or owning a business. Let's take a look at how this works.
Investment Capital
You're going to need money to get started. Every business requires starting capital. Do you know that your franchisor can help you with this? While we can't speak for other companies, at Truly Nolen, we help entrepreneurs and current pest control business owners get the finances needed to start a franchise by providing funding solutions through our partnership with Benetrends Financial.
Equipment Costs
Every pest control business has equipment costs. You'll need vehicles for your employees to drive. You'll need equipment to perform certain treatments. All of these costs can come right out of your pocket, they can come from a lending institution, or you can look into leasing. At Truly Nolen, we provide leasing options to help you get what you need, when you need it, without breaking the bank. Plus, the vehicles we provide will have the bold and iconic branding that has made Truly Nolen a success.
Operations
You'll need finances for many things: real estate or office leasing, labor costs, utilities, insurance, and more. But, on top of these, there are costs involved in developing a team that runs like a well-oiled machine. At Truly Nolen, we've done all the hard work for you. You won't be wasting man-hours, electricity, and other important resources, reinventing the wheel. Our expert field trainers and on-staff entomologists are available to guide you in establishing working pest control programs, online employee training, electronic data collection, and more.
Marketing and Advertising
Many companies waste thousands of dollars trying to figure out how to market and advertise. If you own a Truly Nolen franchise, not only do you get brand recognition and the benefits of all the national and regional promotions we do, but we give you the tools you need to do your own. You'll have access to an asset library and an internal store where you can purchase print-ready materials or design your own items. Along with this, we can guide you in finding professionals in marketing, advertising, search engine optimization (SEO), website design, and more. These resources will help you meet your revenue and growth goals, and help you pay off your investment faster.
What You Should Know Most
Keep in mind that you get what you pay for. If you find a company willing to offer you a franchise for dirt cheap, you won't get the support you need in order to be a success. There is a lot involved with running a pest control business. It is best to purchase a franchise from a company that will help you every step of the way. The pest control industry is thriving and growing, but there is a lot of competition out there. Let Truly Nolen help you get off on the right foot.
