Franchising- Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to the most common questions about Almera Tech Services franchise opportunities.
Are you seeking owner operators or executive owners?
This is a really great question! We are looking for tech savvy, relationship driven owners. While the technical skills needed to install our smart home solutions are not (that) complicated, most owners will hire a team. It is an asset if you are not afraid to get out there and be involved in early jobs just in case you need to assist and help expedite an important project. That said, owners should be actively involved in the management of the business. You are the face of the brand in your local community. We want franchise owners who can focus their efforts on marketing, business development, scheduling and logistics until hiring a full-time project manager. LEARN MORE
Can I own more than one territory?
Yes. We believe some owners will operate multiple territories as a multi-unit franchise owner. We offer discounts on initial franchise fees for owners who commit up front to more territory. Inquire Today.
Do I need an office or warehouse space for this franchise?
Yes – we require our Almera Tech Services franchise operations to start with an office space a minimum of 1,200SF to hold inventory, stage equipment, project planning and map out each day’s work. You will also be able to secure the vehicles for overnight parking. Learn More.
How long does it take to get started and launch the business?
This is a quick start up franchised business and we estimate that you can launch operations in about 90 to 120 days. Of course, this will depend on how quickly you firm up your funding, acquire your service vehicle and complete the pre-opening training. We offer training several times a year to help you get started! Inquire Today.
How many employees are needed to operate?
Typically between 2 and 4 full-time employees to get started, one to two technicians and a scheduling administrator or office manager. Add crews and team members as you grow and establish relationships with local builders and commercial property managers. LEARN MORE
What are the startup costs and what do they include?
Startup funding includes the initial franchise fee and other estimated costs such as 3rd party professional fees, insurance, equipment, furniture, vehicles, initial marketing and 3-months of working capital.
We will be able to share our Financial Performance Representation, called an Item 19, in our Franchise Disclosure Document which highlights affiliate performance and history. This can be a useful tool to help you evaluate the revenue potential of your individual business.
