Apart from enjoying a high satisfaction rating from customers, the company has more than 75 franchises. The company believes in the value of restoration over replacement and continues to open its doors to potential franchisees who share their belief in the principle of "green karma."

Why You May Want to Start a The Grout Doctor Franchise

The first and most obvious advantage of opening a The Grout Doctor franchise is the simple fact that grout is everywhere. The market may not only exist, but thrive. Another plus is the flexible, home-based, family-oriented nature of the business. You own your time and are, in every sense, your boss. In addition, The Grout Doctor also offers an option to own a franchise as an absentee owner. This could result in you hiring other people to run the hands-on aspect of the business, effectively allowing you to spend more time doing what you want to do.

The Grout Doctor franchises are also remarkably affordable - in fact, they are among the lowest in the industry. If you do buy into one, they have a business model that has worked repeatedly for franchisees. To begin, all you need is the company’s power startup package and training program. The company strives to provide the most comprehensive franchise support system in the industry, so you should be in good hands.

There is a remarkably growing consumer preference for tile restoration over replacement because of its cheaper cost. With this market projected to continue to expand, now may be the best time to hop into the industry and start reaping the leading franchise brand's benefits.

What Might Make Opening a The Grout Doctor Franchise a Good Choice

The Grout Doctor is rather generous with perks, including discounts for veterans and first franchisees in their states, a vehicle wrap, and grand opening advertising allowance. To be part of the Grout Doctor team, you should make sure you’re financially ready for an initial investment and that will include a franchise fee and other startup costs. You should also be prepared for ongoing fees including advertising fees, royalty fees, and potential renewal fees. Franchisees will also need to meet the company's set liquid capital requirements.
