The Area Developer Franchise Program would best be suited for the investor with business management and sales & marketing skills, seeking an investment that requires initial start-up capital from $50,000, but not to exceed $100,000, with an approximate total investment of $100,000 - $400,000.

The Area Developer franchisee is initially trained as a paint technician, but the option is available to be trained as a Dent or Interior technician.

The Area Developer franchisee is not tied to a daily service route; he/she manages an entire Designated Marketing Area (DMA). The management of the DMA involves assisting all Operator Franchisees operating within the DMA by providing: billing and collection services, technical support, and assisting with the development of routes.

Training

In addition to the initial two weeks of training, the Area Developer receives one additional week of training, which includes courses in territory development and sales and marketing. There is on-going training and support provided through national conventions, regional meetings, field visits, and the 1-800-technical support line.
