Business Experience Requirements |

Experience | You must have an interest in the fire-fighting industry. Ideally be a career or volunteer fire-fighter or know someone with that background who can participate. Should be able to find funds for the one time franchise fee of $30,000, which gives you the rights to the custom built Waterway testing system, the marketing and advertising designs, network support and training, the 24 hour software test record program.. and 20 years of experience! Plus a further $30,000 for all the hose and ladder testing equipment- the pump, adaptors, hose rolling tables, ladder testing tools... everything you need to get started. This EXCLUDES the trailer which will need to be purchased separately for approx $6,000. You should allow for a further $15,000 - $25,000 to cover 'soft' costs such as insurance, admin, crew clothing, working capital etc. | - |
