ProTect Painters

According to studies done by the United States Department of Commerce, if you go into business on your own, you will have only a 20% chance of success. As a franchisee, you will have at least an 80% chance of success.

With franchising, you have the immense satisfaction of being in business for yourself, but not by yourself.

Franchisees enjoy a competitive edge over independent small business owners. Some of the advantages are:

• Name recognition
• A proven business format
  
• Technical assistance
• Ongoing management assistance
• Strength in numbers
• Networking/referrals
  

Success requires that you have some technical, management and marketing skills. Protect Painters, will provide you with comprehensive training in all of these areas.

With Protect Painters, our proven business plan means that you will immediately know what it takes to be successful. You will be in a position to start earning money faster than in virtually any other business. Protect Painters gives you a blue print guide to successfully operate your own dynamic franchise business!

Protect Painters is part of a vast and perpetuating market. Painting is not an option but a necessity. Virtually every property in existence must be painted to preserve it. Additionally, painting enhances the value of any property whether it be residential or commercial.

The painting business has time on its side. Sooner or later every home, every business will need painting. Few services have such “built-in” demand. Painting services will continue to be a big business. But unlike many other businesses that have moved into national franchise marketing, painting services are still provided by non-affiliated, privately owned small companies. Companies with limited identity and for which consumers hold high degree of skepticism.

Residential painting has long been a tradition. As long as there is a boom in housing/real estate and the more people there are with discriminating tastes, there will be a need for competitively priced contractors. A well run painting business can be one of the most lucrative.

Protect Painters customers represent the higher end of the market. We market our services to the clients who want quality and are willing to pay for it. Because we have so clearly identified our customers and their habits/needs, we are experiencing a considerable amount of repeat business.

Starting a new business should be a rewarding experience. That's why we provide the most comprehensive support available - including our initial 10 day training program, our complete set of training manuals, and our toll-free support.

The training program is conducted at our corporate office and suppliers offices in Boston, Massachusetts and in Atlanta, Georgia. Our program is comprehensive, enjoyable and very rewarding.

The program is designed to teach you not only the technical aspects of running a painting business, but places strong emphasis on the management and marketing segments of your business. Incorporated into each day of training is what you need to know to do to be successful. You will spend time in the classroom learning the practical, professional techniques that could take years to learn on your own. Upon completing the training program, you will feel confident, secure and eager to get started with your business.

In addition to all the technical aspects of the business, the following are some of the other areas we cover:

Franchisees are regularly visited to offer guidance during the start-up and as their business grows. In addition, Protect Painters hosts regional meetings to facilitate learning and sharing. Protect Painters is available to help you at any time, in any way possible. After all, we know that it is important for independent business owners to be in business for themselves - but not by themselves.

Residential painting is a multi-billion dollar industry that will continue to grow into the future. It has been extremely fragmented and the industry is in need of a market leader. Protect Painters holds that position and it will give the opportunity to join the company.

We have the ability and resources to adapt to the industry's changing needs. Each year new products and equipment come on the market while others are discontinued. Frequent communiqués from the manufactures/head office help you stay apprised of the changes and what they mean to your business. Communication is the key to a successful franchise system.

The corporate head office is constantly at work improving our services and expanding our markets. We have all the experience, training, computerization and resources in place to assist you.

The corporate head office offers services to the franchisee, ranging from monthly newsletters and promotional programs to press releases.

The corporate head office also provides advertisement and mail design, brochures, forms, market research and many other marketing services. The Protect Painters brand has become synonymous with the highest level of service, reliability and quality. Protect Painters franchisees make thousands of impressions annually from direct mail, lawn signs and traffic to our website.
