START RESIDENTIAL THEN SCALE TO COMMERCIAL
Elite is seeking franchisees who want to build meaningful empires. In other words, a business that you will invest into appropriately (marketing, vehicles, equipment, etc.), allowing for rapid growth and scale. We want owners who are interested in working on their business, not necessarily in their business, especially after the first 12-18 months of operation. We will have you as a new owner focus on learning the ropes and focused on residential customers at the start, but be prepared to quickly take your business to the next level with commercial account opportunities!
The Elite business model is built to put you in a position of success, and allow for scale in the years to come. Our model provides a clear path toward your Elite empire, when considering the following.
All the tools you need on four wheels – easily expand with job pods and technicians.
No retail location makes scalability and expansion simple.
No high-capital machinery means low overhead and more to reinvest in your company.
Expanding into new territories requires only a franchise fee with no additional start-up costs.
Coaching and guidance on commercial sales help to take your business to the next level.
