Continued support is offered by your business coach, marketing team and numerous other departments at the home office.
HOW DO TERRITORIES WORK?

Chem-Dry has a flat monthly franchise fee of $466.o1 and a national advertising fund of $160 per month per territory.
HOW MUCH CAN I MAKE?
It depends on how much time and effort a franchise owner is willing to expend. At the appropriate time in the process, we allow qualified candidates to communicate with our franchisees, who can relate their experiences.
WHAT IS THE CHEM-DRY COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE?
