About this Business
This franchise was founded in 2018 with 2 territories covering all of Worcester county. The business has grown steadily without much marketing, save for a bit of networking with the Chamber of Commerce. There are more than 25 customers subscribed, some of which are Filta’s National Accounts, including stadiums, high schools, colleges, nursing homes and hospitals, restaurants, casinos, supermarkets, and of course, restaurants. These contributed to the 2021-22 winter season producing record-setting revenue in the three years of operation! The seller has built a reputation for quality service and reliability, which means customer retention is high and referrals are easily and regularly acquired.
The seller has been the owner-operator of the business. However, the operation is poised for growth as Worcester continues to gentrify. The territories have tons of potential to grow with even a casual sales strategy. A new owner could continue as owner-operator or could hire a technician and take a sales and marketing role to network, use the Chamber’s resources and approach the growing restaurant scene to grow the customer base.
This business runs from home and commercial warehouse space. The business model is based on routed service and recurring revenue, and royalties are fixed, simply based upon the number of oil filtration units in service. Inquire now! Don’t miss this opportunity to own a lucrative business in a great market!
Growth opportunities
The operation is poised for growth as Worcester continues to gentrify. The county has plenty of unexplored opportunity, including a growing restaurant scene in Worcester that has yet to be approached. Potential for serious growth with just a casual sales approach and/or more use of the chamber's resources. A new owner could really focus on sales and marketing to grow the business significantly.
