Owning a neighborhood painting franchise is more affordable than you may think
Making the decision to go into business for yourself doesn’t have to break the bank. Richard’s Painting franchise is not only one of the most affordable concepts in the painting category, but also one of the lowest costs in the home services and home remodeling categories.
The reason for our affordability is because our founder Richard Gould built this business from the ground up and knows exactly what it takes to grow a painting – and it’s a lot less than you may realize.
The total costs to invest in a Richard’s Painting franchise ranges from $58,450 to $105,450. These costs reflect everything you need to get started, including a vehicle, inventory, and working capital – and there are many ways to finance your business to make it even more affordable.
“I don’t know a business that’s cheaper to get involved in then Richard’s Painting franchise,” says Richard Gould, CEO & Founder. “The reason I say that is because it doesn’t take a lot of money, equipment, or people to get started. You can get started with one person and grow from there. To me, it’s the lowest cost with the biggest potential return – and that’s the only thing I know.”
What do I get for my franchise fee?
The franchise fee with Richard’s Painting is $30,000. This gives you access to personal training and ongoing coaching from the founder of the brand. This is a rare advantage unique in the industry. The majority of franchise brands offer impersonal support and treat their franchise owners like numbers; Richard’s Painting treats our franchise owners like the leaders they are and work with them to help grow their businesses.
What are my financing options?
While we don’t offer financing directly, we do have relationships with third-party lenders who can help you secure the funds necessary to open your business. With the costs of ownership being so low, the amount of financing needed is affordable and banks are far more likely to finance a business that is backed by a brand with 20+ years of success.
