Should You Buy a Restoration Business?

Restoration 1 franchise is committed to helping entrepreneurs thrive in the recession-resistant restoration industry

In uncertain times, entrepreneurs are seeking recession-resistant business opportunities to build a better life for themselves, their families and their communities. They are also seeking businesses that provide more than a simple financial return – businesses that give back to the community, help people in need and in general allow a business owner to become more involved in their local community.

If you are looking for any of these, owning a restoration business is a smart move. It is already a $210 billion a year industry and in every community there are people in need – people you can help as a Restoration 1 franchise owner.

The restoration industry is resistant to economic downturns because owners need to act fast when a home floods or has fire damage. This means you have opportunities to generate income because repair is rarely optional.

Insurance covers most incidents, meaning owners of restoration businesses will get paid no matter the state of the economy. The services that restoration companies provide are meaningful and necessary work – and for those impacted by disasters, it allows them to put their lives back together.

Unlike most restoration businesses, Restoration 1 also generates non-insurance business so you don’t become dependent on one type of job. We work with plumbers, facility managers, electricians and contractors to do a wide range of cleanup, restoration and sanitation services for direct pay customers, too.

With more than 300 locations in the U.S., Restoration 1 has more than doubled the size of its franchise network in the last few years – and is on pace to double it again in the coming years. This rapid growth is due to the leadership of CEO Gary Findley, a franchise veteran who is skilled at growing franchise brands and is passionate about helping entrepreneurs thrive in business.

“We designed Restoration 1 to give our franchise owners the best change to build a successful and diverse restoration business in their local community,” said Gary Finnley, CEO of Restoration 1. “If you want to start a business that you can scale, will help people in your community and will generate wealth for you and your family, Restoration 1 is a smart business to own.”

What makes Restoration 1 stand out in the restoration industry?

When it comes to restoration services, Restoration 1 is a cut above the rest. Since 2008, we’ve helped thousands of home and property owners return safely to their homes and properties after disaster strikes. Whether it’s mitigating water, fire and smoke damage, removal and remediation of dangerous mold, and now, keeping homeowners protected against the spread of germs with our home sanitizing services, Restoration 1 is the name customers turn to for help getting back into their homes and commercial properties.

As a franchise opportunity, Restoration 1 also stands out. For starters, our brand is affordable, with low startup costs and a quick ramp up time to begin generating revenue. Our leadership has invested in comprehensive training and support infrastructure to help entrepreneurs without any experience in the restoration industry thrive in this business. We also offer ongoing professional development to ensure that our franchise owners are advancing as business owners and leaders, and are accountable for their goals.

This commitment to helping franchise owners thrive in business is also why Entrepreneur magazine has ranked us high on their prestigious annual, “Franchise 500,” list for several consecutive years.
