As the economy continues to shift, a growing number of individuals is chasing the freedom of entrepreneurship. If you’re interested in a service-based industry with consistent demand and exponential growth opportunities, Painter Bros is ready to help you turn your drive into a successful business.
For over a decade, Painter Bros has been transforming homes and businesses through its commitment to world-class service. The company’s outstanding work and ability to exceed customer expectations have allowed it to build a strong reputation across the country with several large, well-known brands like Walmart, Prologis, Extra Space Storage and Sherwin-Williams.
While many painting businesses say they work with national accounts, the truth is that they only work with the local companies in the area. However, Painter Bros has close, direct partnerships with several Fortune 500 companies that could provide franchisees with a steady stream of lucrative projects.
Another key differentiating factor for Painter Bros is its investment in technology that allows for greater scalability and profitability. The company’s proprietary software, FM Flow, combines several systems into one, making it simple for franchisees to find all the information they need in a single place. Additionally, Painter Bros is one of the only companies to leverage automatic royalty drafting within its system, as well as Cost Per Customer Acquisition, allowing franchisees to understand where their marketing dollars are going based on revenue coming in.
Through weekly training and calls with the corporate team, Painter Bros equips franchisees with the guidance and support they need to thrive. Franchise owners also have access to the company’s vendors and partners for help with software, accounting, human resources, insurance, digital marketing and more.
“Culture is very important to us,” explained Bailey Rayner, chief development officer. “We’re strong believers in lifting each other up, and our franchisees often lean on each other to help grow their businesses, which is unheard of in the industry.”
Painter Bros has recently seen a good amount of success, with several franchisees projected to achieve $1 million in revenue in the first 12 to 18 months of being open. Company Founder Zach Tanner was also nominated for the Young Professional of the Year Award by ConnexFM. This award is designed to recognize individuals making a difference within the industry based on recommendations and referrals from Fortune 500 partners.
Painter Bros has big aspirations for the next several years as well as a goal of hitting 100 franchise units in the next 12 months. The established brand currently has 23 franchisees in 46 territories, and it’s projected to double that number this year.
The company is also looking to expand globally over the next one to two years with one franchisee already working on international projects. Another big focus for Painter Bros is investing in its proprietary software to continue to make it easier to use for franchisees and commercial partnerships.
“We teach franchisees to grow beyond their territory to give them greater opportunity,” said Rayner. “We work hard for our franchisees and listen to them to ensure we’re able to meet their needs. We’re constantly looking for ways to grow, change and shift so that we can maximize their success.”
