Investment & Fees

Here's what buyers should ask about franchising: what the real costs are, where they sit, and when they are due. Every dollar is laid out below with plain-language notes. If you can't afford it, we respect that, but if you can, you'll know exactly where your money goes.

What does earning potential look like?

Revenue depends on your territory, how quickly you build agent relationships, and how many services you offer. The three operating modes below describe how franchisees typically scale. Actual numbers are shared transparently on your discovery call.

01 Conservative
6–8
Inspections per week

Steady start, building your territory and first agent relationships.

02 Moderate
10–14
Inspections per week

Established territory with a growing base of repeat referrals.

03 High-performing
16+
Inspections per week

Multi-service work, commercial jobs, and a strong repeat-client base.

Royalty (10%) and marketing levy (5%) apply to service revenue. Full financial projections for your specific territory are provided during the discovery process.

Get the real numbers

We share actual franchisee performance on the discovery call

Revenue, payback period, job volume, and average job value vary meaningfully by territory, so we don't publish a single set of numbers and call it done. On your discovery call you'll get a territory-specific breakdown built from our actual data, not a sales brochure estimate.

What you'll receive

A territory report with inspection demand data, competitor density, and suburb growth indicators for your preferred area.

No commitment required

The discovery call and territory report are provided before you sign anything. We want you to make an informed decision.

Ask us anything

Payback period, weekly inspection targets, job values: bring every question. We'll answer with real data, not projections off a whiteboard.

Still reading? Good. That means you're serious.

Apply now and we'll walk you through the full financial picture on a discovery call. No pressure, no hard sell. Just the numbers and an honest conversation about whether this is right for you.
