About Service Team of Professionals
Service Team of Professionals (STOP) was founded in 1971 by Mack Clark, a former employee with General Dynamics, Honeywell and BF Goodrich. STOP franchisees specialize in fire, smoke and water damage cleanup and restoration, deodorizing, and carpet and furniture repair.
The total investment necessary to begin operation of a STOP franchise
business ranges from $48,000 (for an existing cleaning company not
requiring a work vehicle, additional equipment nor certain training that
we require each franchisee to have) or from $83,700 to a high
investment range of $144,500 for both start-up and existing companies.
This includes $80,000 to $82,000 that must be paid to the franchisor or
their affiliates.
