About Orkin
Commercial and Residential pest management services. International markets now available.
Depending on the size of the territory in which your franchise is
located, the initial franchise fee will be between $39,000 and $100,000,
which may be discounted if you elect, and the franchisor agrees to, a
term for your franchise agreement less than the standard terms set forth
in Exhibit 7 or if you operated a pest or termite control business
(other than under an Orkin franchise agreement) prior to the signing of
the franchise agreement. The estimated initial investment to begin
operation of an Orkin Franchise ranges from $84,975 to $231,200. This
sum does not include the rent for the business location or other real
estate costs or the costs of purchasing any existing customer contracts
of the franchisor’s affiliate Orkin, LLC that may be in the territory
assigned to you and that you are required to purchase from Orkin, LLC,
which may cost in excess of $250,000. Of your estimated initial
investment, between $39,000 and $100,000, plus the cost of purchasing
such customer contracts, is payable to the franchisor.
