I grew up out-doors, in the sun, on Florida’s west coast. With a master’s degree in international finance, I spent 20 years with Fortune 500 companies. I decided to get out of their sandbox and play in my own. I opened my ProTect franchise seven years ago, and have expressed my true colors ever since. I love it. And you'll find it’s hard to botch this business: it’s simple, all cash flow, and the freedom is captivating. Atlanta, GA
ProTect Painters is a LIFESTYLE franchise opportunity. No more “rat race” for you. The residential and light commercial painting industry is a $30 billion giant dominated by small, unreliable mom-and-pop contractors. The market is primed for a powerhouse national brand that provides quality, service and value. When you join our ProTect team we will outfit you with training, systems and support that no other franchise can provide.
• You won’t wield a brush. You will direct contracted painting crews who will. • No employees. No office politics to govern your day. No dividing profits at the end of the year. • After our Right Start training program, you will be an expert and confident in every facet of your business. You will be a ProTect Pro. • You will benefit from our Sales and Technology Center where customer service Pros will answer calls “live” 24/7, addressing customer needs and booking your appointments. • Best of all, our Customer Acquisition and Referral System—CARS—will drive customers to you. ProTect Marketing Pros plan, develop and place all your local advertising. You are free to manage your business.
When I founded this business in 1994, my goal was to create a franchise with the fewest moving parts, to take the guesswork and the stress out of owning a business. We’ve done it. ProTect Painters requires only a modest initial investment. It’s home-based and a cash business. There’s no inventory. It’s virtually turnkey. And your time is yours. It’s a formula for success. As part of Service Brands, we have the resources to grow and to support a nationwide network of franchise owners. If you ask me, ProTect Painters is your best franchise opportunity.
