Mosquito Authority | Five Advantages of Mobile Franchise Ownership

The mobile business industry has grown exponentially in recent years, and it’s not slowing down. Learn the benefits of owning a mobile franchise over other forms of franchising and why it’s a good investment. Lower Investment Costs

Starting a business can be very expensive, especially a brick-and-mortar franchise. They’ll consider your net worth and liquid capital on top of the sometimes-hefty franchise fee. But mobile franchises can be the perfect opportunity for entrepreneurs who can’t afford a traditional storefront franchise or don’t want to fork over all the money. In addition, mobile franchise opportunities come without the costs of build-out, signage, and construction. Because of all this, franchisees can get up and running more quickly and get to bringing in revenue sooner.

For example, the mobile pest control franchise Mosquito Authority has an initial franchise fee of up to $45,000. Then, the total initial investment ranges from $54,000 to $127,000…

Mosquito Authority | Is a Home-Based Franchise the Way to Go in Today’s Economy?

Home-based franchises have proven to be some of the most recession-resistant franchises you can start in times of economic uncertainty. Here’s why. Low Overhead Costs

One of the most significant benefits of joining a work-from-home franchise is the lower overhead costs. You don’t have to pay rent on an office, showroom, or storefront as an owner. The expense of those types of spaces can skyrocket during tough economic times.

Operating as a service AND a home-based franchise means no product supply. It can be expensive to purchase a bunch of products up front that you’re then in charge of selling. But, as a service franchise, you’ll only need to keep your own supplies on hand. For example, you’ll reuse your sprayers or other application tools at Mosquito Authority. This means you’ll only need to keep your solution on hand, which is much cheaper than keeping a for-sale product in stock. Plus, manufacturers will increase the prices of products, forcing you to p…

Mosquito Authority | 5 Questions to Ask Before Investing in a Seasonal Business

Thinking about opening a seasonal business? There are several pros and cons to consider. Here are the five essential questions you should ask before investing to ensure you find the right fit. 1. Is the Peak Season a Good Time for You?

A business that’s geared toward a particular season can be great for parents with kids or those with obligations at certain times of the year. So, when considering investing in one, assess what the season includes. For example, a summer business wouldn’t be good if you’re a parent who takes care of the kids during summer break. Or maybe you coach basketball, so your time is limited during winter. You will want to be able to give your full attention to your business during its peak season.

Secondly, ask yourself if you can manage the stress of peak season. Some businesses, like a boutique, might pick up a little more during holidays, but their hours never change. But for many, you have four to eight months of hyper-focusing on …

Mosquito Authority | Why Exterminator Franchises are a Big Business Opportunity for 2023

The U.S. pest control services industry grew at a rate of 4.7% over the past decade, and numbers are expected to climb this year. Straits Research noted that the value of the global pest control market was worth $22.1 billion in 2021. Furthermore, it’s forecasted to grow at 5.2% annually through 2030. While this is a global statistic, North America dominates the pest control industry.

Here’s what’s driving demand and why you should consider a pest control or exterminator franchise. Pests are a Fact of Life

Unfortunately, bugs are a part of our world and will likely never go extinct. More specifically, there are an estimated 10 quintillion (10,000,000,000,000,000,000) insects alive at any given time. So, they’ll always be annoying and getting in places nobody wants to find them. This means there will ALWAYS be a demand for pest control businesses like exterminator franchises.

Studies show there have persistently been increased reports of bedbug…
