The Right Opportunity

High Demand Services:
It is estimated that over 82% of American homes valued at over $150,000 have regular pest control service yet over 50% of homeowners express dissatisfaction with their provider.
Consistent Need:
Not treating pest problems is not a solution. Infestations will almost always return.
Competitive Advantages:
Many competitors use harsh chemicals that harm the environment and aggravate human and pet allergies. Today, a large percentage of the population seeks companies like Enviro-Tech that are environmentally conscious.
Marketing Assistance:
Enviro-Tech franchisees are thoroughly trained in advertising techniques to ensure a successful start-up.
Protected Territory:
Each unit has a clearly defined territory within which only you will be permitted to operate.
Loyal Customers:
Our system's success has been built on creating outstanding customer service. When customers have a problem, we respond promptly and courteously. This reduces account loss and generates referral business.
Home Office:
Our franchisees usually start from a home office of 120 to 300 square feet. As they grow, they often move to a small commercial office.
Low Staff Needs:
You only need a handful of employees to run a successful Enviro-Tech franchise. Many start solo and add technicians and salesmen only as increased sales dictate.

Low Investment:
Your office equipment, a late model pick-up truck, and $3,500 to $4,500 of equipment is all you need to open. Reserve cash to cover expenses until you reach break-even should be $5,000 to $10,000 depending on your expenses and your business decisions. We expect most will have invested around $40,000 before they reach break-even.
