- Why join Lawn Rite?Starting any business is a significant decision and there is always risk involved. We do not promise that you’ll get rich fast. On the contrary, this is a real business that requires real work. But if you put in the effort, the rewards can be outstanding. To help, you have the support of the founder Troy Hillard and over 200 franchisees in The Rite Group that have done what you are hoping to do. While your success is not guaranteed, you will be part of an amazing group of franchisees that provide the highest level of service to their clients and where people join together to find success.
- How long does it take to earn back my investment?Most Lawn Rite franchise owners will earn back their investment within the first 3 to 6 months. Some have done so in as little as 2 months. One of the best and fastest ways to earn back your investment is by splitting your clients. Lawn Rite allows you to build up clients and split some off and sell them to existing franchise owners and often your franchiser will buy some back off you if you agree to give to new Lawn Rite franchise members. For those franchise owners who are good with sales this is a great way to make $15000 per split and some franchise owners can do this 2 or even 3 times a year all while servicing their own clients.
- Why buy a franchise? I could start an independent lawn mowing business.You're not the first or the last to think of this. Its very common for someone to think of going it alone as well as purchasing a franchise and weighing up both options. However, when you look at the fact that 60% of all new businesses fail in their first year, and 96% of all Lawn Rite franchises succeed in their first year the choice is easy.
When you go alone you will realise you will:
- Have to pay top dollar for all of your equipment without the buying power of The Rite Group (probably worth tens of thousands of dollars in the set up stage alone).
- Have to operate without any brand identity and spend years building trust in the marketplace.
- Have limited earning potential without the expansion opportunities of The Rite Group.
- Scrounge for customers from day one without the support of The Rite Group's marketing systems supplying ready-to-buy leads every week.
- Rely on your own saving with no ‘Min Guarantee’ to see you through your start-up period.
- Risk everything and your personal assets learning from mistakes on your own were we have already done all the hard work saving you having to make the same mistakes
