About this Business
With over 10,000 pools in The Midlands, a region experiencing rapid growth and high rates of pool construction this is a great opportunity for someone to come in and grow the business. Operating with one branded/wrapped vehicle and the possibility of another unbranded vehicle, essential equipment, and a dedicated pool technician, the business is primed for someone to come in and have success with an already established trained technician, daily routes, and the proper equipment.
Running this partially seasonal (about 60-65% of customers close during winter), home-based business offers flexibility & minimal overheads. An additional storage unit is leased MTM to store supplies, chemicals, and includes parking for trucks. Revenue is driven by recurring weekly and bi-weekly service contracts, with additional income from seasonal openings, closings, and repairs. The acquisition includes an established franchise with $79,000 in annual sales, offering a good foundation and recurring customer base below the cost of starting a new territory. This is an ideal opportunity for both newcomers to the industry & existing pool service operators looking to align with a growing national brand. Benefiting from the support of Buzz Brands, a multi-brand franchisor, the franchise ensures comprehensive training for a smooth transition. The sale includes assets between $30,000-60,000 (depending on 1 truck or 2 included in sale), roughly $3,500 in chemical inventory, and a built in customer base.
