Territories
An exclusive franchise territory is generally considered a major selling point. Disaster Relief will be offering exclusive territories to their franchisees as one of the key benefits to early adopters. Exclusive territories can offer a competitive advantage in the franchise sales and marketing environment. As a result, the Disaster Relief franchise system will grant its franchisees an exclusive territory and will use this as a competitive advantage against other fire and water damage service franchise concepts.
Each territory will support a business that commensurates with the initial investment and the caliber of franchisee that will fit each profile. Although the areas will be defined by population base and accounts, there will be geographic, state or county lines that actually document the areas that will constitute territories. Each franchise territory will consist of a population between 250,000 and 500,000.

The DIfference
How we are different from other Restoration Franchises:
1) No Requirement to use Xactimate Pricing. (Franchisee are free to use their own pricing.)
2) No Contractual agreements with insurance carriers. (Allows franchisee to charge a fair price and make a profit.)
3) Environmental testing and documentation. Proves to the property owner and the insurance company what needs to be done and why.
4) Group discount pricing on equipment and supplies. (If franchisee can buy it cheaper they are free to do so.)
5) Background checks on all employees. (Gives Homeowners a sense of security knowing they can trust our personnel with their property.)
6) Learn how to work with First Responders when they call you to the scene. (Puts you first on jobs ahead of Preferred Vendors)
7) Teach franchisee how to sell their services to property owners.
