Our Service Franchise model’s startup costs are a common entry point for new franchisees. If you’re considering the Combo Franchise option, which emphasizes installations, be prepared for a higher investment.
Once your franchise is up and running, you’ll be responsible for ongoing royalties. These fees are typically a percentage of your gross sales and contribute to the franchisor’s continued support and the use of their brand name.
At Pacific, our success is tied to yours—our profits grow only when yours do. Following industry norms, our royalty fee is set at 10% of your gross monthly sales, and this ensures you have access to updated systems, marketing support, and business strategies that keep you competitive in the market.
For a comprehensive understanding of these costs and to explore your options for Pacific’s irrigation franchise investment, please review our Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) and consult with our experienced advisors to ensure you plan your investments effectively.
