INDEPENDENT VERSUS FRANCHISE
Many well-known franchises have national brand-name recognition. Buying a franchise can be like buying a business with built-in customers. This will amount to great savings in customer acquisition costs and allow for more time in the overall operation of the business.
A brand communicates specific information about an organization, product or service and distinguishes it from others in the marketplace. It makes the products or organization unique. Furthermore, the brand is the identity of a specific product, service, or business and can take many forms including a symbol, name, sign, etc. Today, great brands are realizing that people don’t necessarily distinguish categories. What actually matters is that the brand has a point of view on the world that asks people to embrace them.
WHY IS BRAND IMPORTANT?

What actually matters is that the brand has a point of view on the world that asks people to embrace them.
A business concept: track record for success
When you buy a franchise, you are buying an established business model that has a proven track record. Statistics show that franchisees stand a much better chance of success than people who start independent businesses. The whole point again of the franchise model is that it’s been proven to work already both domestically as well as internationally. The roadmap has already been done so all you have to do is follow it. As franchise companies state, you're in business for yourself, but not by yourself.
Management training
When you buy a franchise, you get all the equipment, supplies and instruction and training needed to start the business. You also get ongoing training, and help with management and marketing. Your franchise will reap the benefit of the parent company's national marketing campaigns, creative materials, national spokespersons, technical trainers, on-line training, webinars, etc. This is the most important part for entrepreneurs as business owners don't plan to fail, rather, they fail to plan.
Proprietary methods and processes
From day one, you have cutting edge systems and technology right at your fingertips that you didn’t have to invent or put any resources in to.
Marketing and advertising plan to follow
Brochures, radio and television commercials, yellow pages, newspapers, flyers, coupons, direct mail campaigns; This is another huge time saver as you just have to pay for what you need and you’re ready to go. Hence, marketing will be more interesting and challenging area as it is made up of many coherent ideas that consistently repeat the big idea or brand message. By continually repeating the same television commercials and weekly coupons, the brand continues to build awareness.
Recruiting and staffing
Finding good employees is crucial to the success of the franchisee. A franchise business with a recognized name will have greater recruiting pull than an unknown business entity.
Purchasing power
The collective buying power of a franchise group allows for lower costs in purchasing inventory and equipment. There is power in numbers!

AT AIRE SERVE:
Your investment depends on various factors.
Yet another way that Aire Serv sets itself apart from other service franchises is with our territory investment structure. Aire Serv's franchise fees are based on the territory you purchase.Our franchise fees are population-based, therefore, an Aire Serv franchisee in a smaller, less populated area will have a smaller investment than a larger area. In other words, the size of the territory greatly determines your investment level.
In determining your qualifications and eligibility, we will also try to match your capital investment availability to an appropriate territory.
Because many variables affect the franchise investment, it's best to speak with a Franchise Developer who can construct a territory that meets your needs and your budget.
Available Discounts
- VetFran Discount
- Public Protectors Franchise Advantage
- Business Conversion Discount
- Large Population Discount
Find the many avenues to financing.
New Aire Serv franchisees benefit from association with The Dwyer Group® for many reasons; one of the most significant is access to in-house financing.Through The Dwyer Group, qualified franchisee candidates are eligible to have up to 70% of their initial franchisee fees financed.
