Buy a Cortz Franchise

CORTZ is a franchise specializing in the resurfacing, construction, and ongoing maintenance of sports courts, with services spanning pickleball, tennis, basketball, and padel. Operated by CORTZ by FSP, Inc. out of Auburn, California, the brand draws on more than 25 years of industry experience and a record of resurfacing over 10,000 courts. Its customer base spans residential homeowners, HOAs, schools, municipalities, and commercial facilities.

The core offering covers new court construction, full resurfacing, targeted repairs, and scheduled maintenance. The proprietary R3 Program is a branded court maintenance plan delivered by CSCT-certified technicians using manufacturer-recommended soft-wash methods, with each visit producing a photo-verified Court Health Report. The R3 Program is available on bi-annual or quarterly schedules, giving franchisees a recurring-revenue base alongside project-based work.

Cortz was founded by a former ATP touring professional and entered franchising to scale its court services model across US territories. The franchise targets operators looking to build accounts across residential, HOA, school, and municipal markets.

Why buy a Cortz Franchise?

The court resurfacing and sports surface category has proved resilient and is showing strong growth momentum, particularly around pickleball. Cortz enters this market with a combination of project-based revenue from construction and resurfacing work, and recurring revenue from the R3 maintenance program. That two-stream model gives franchisees more revenue consistency than operators whose income depends entirely on project pipelines.

CORTZ’s certification requirements (CSCT-certified technicians) and the branded Court Health Report add a credibility layer that supports premium positioning with HOA, school district, and municipal clients. The brand’s multi-sport scope (pickleball, tennis, basketball, padel) means franchisees can serve a wider range of facilities than a single-sport operator.

Cortz – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    CORTZ provides franchisees with initial training covering 30 hours of classroom instruction and 40 hours of on-the-job training. Ongoing support includes operational systems, marketing tools, and access to the brand's technical knowledge base. The R3 Program and Court Health Report platform are part of the training curriculum; franchisees learn the full recurring maintenance protocol alongside construction and resurfacing techniques. Resale buyers should confirm with CORTZ what initial training and system access are available to incoming owners and any new staff.

  2. Ideal Owner

    The ideal Cortz franchisee is comfortable in a B2B and B2G environment, building relationships with HOAs, school administrators, facility managers, and municipal contacts. The role is sales-oriented at the local level, with responsibility for coordinating technicians and managing the project and maintenance schedule. Prior experience in outdoor construction or a trades-adjacent service business is useful but not required. The ability to develop referral sources across residential, commercial, and institutional accounts is important for territory growth.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    CORTZ was ranked #144 on Entrepreneur Magazine's 2026 Top New and Emerging Franchises list, reflecting its entry into franchising and the category momentum behind court sports. Entrepreneur also featured the brand in the context of the pickleball boom, including a podcast episode with a Cortz franchisee. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be considered alongside the reputation of the specific territory, including local reviews, referral sources, and the standing of existing client relationships.

  4. Industry / Market

    The US sports court resurfacing market is growing, driven by a surge in pickleball participation. USA Pickleball data shows US court locations surpassed 18,000 by 2025, up from roughly 10,700 in 2023. Courts require periodic resurfacing and maintenance regardless of economic conditions, giving the service category built-in demand. The expansion of pickleball into HOAs, schools, parks, and private clubs has broadened the potential customer base beyond traditional tennis and basketball facilities. Resale buyers should assess local court density and the territory's capacity for recurring maintenance contracts.
