The Wolf’s Take 🍟

I’ve covered only a few restoration businesses before, but they always seem to perform well. Blue Kangaroo Packouz is no different, boasting an average gross sales that’s ~2.75x higher than the high end of the investment. 

While I’m sure these businesses aren’t all sunshine and rainbows (no business is), an aspect I love about it is that insurance providers are paying the restoration companies the majority of the time. This means that for you as an owner, you’re not having to haggle with home owners on price.

This is especially convenient given your customers likely just had their homes destroyed to a degree, whether it was a flood, fire, or worse – and having to hit them while they’re down with an expensive bill wouldn’t be fun to say the least. Thankfully, your compensation is pre-negotiated with the insurance company.

2) Mosquito Squad

Fast Facts

Background

  • Founded in 2004, franchising since 2005
  • Based in Columbia, MD; 235 locations open at the start of 2022
  • Franchise that offers residential and commercial mosquito and tick control services to help protect people and pets from vector-borne diseases.

Fees + Investment

  • Royalty: 8-10%
  • Brand Fund: $150-$450/mo.
  • Franchise Fee: $45,000
  • Initial Investment: $153,410 – $201,035

Financial Performance

  • As of December 31, 2021, there were 222 Territories open and operating. The table below includes 212 territories that were open and operating for the entire 2021 fiscal year.

The Wolf’s Take 🍟

Mosquito Squad is a low investment franchise that shows it has the potential for high upside. If it’s your first time hearing of a business like this, outdoor pest control is actually a big area of focus for homeowners.

Depending on your market, this may be an all-year round business, but I have met owners who operate 1 franchise brand for the duration of the year, and then during the summer they activate their mosquito franchise for additional revenue.

This could make for a solid cash-flow business, regardless of whether you wanted to operate it full time or part time.
