What Are My Startup Costs & Fees?
Blue Kangaroo Packoutz is an affordable business opportunity in an underserved segment of the restoration industry
When we think about the $210 billion restoration industry, we tend to think of the brands that are focused on restoring homes and properties – but the reality is the restoration industry is much more diverse and holds a lot more opportunity for entrepreneurs.
Blue Kangaroo Packoutz, the nation’s preeminent contents restoration company, is a great example of a compelling business opportunity within the larger restoration industry. Blue Kangaroo Packoutz focuses on the details that insurance companies often have to worry about most following a loss–expertly restoring all of the contents inside the property that have been damaged. These items range from the truly special, such as family heirlooms and original art, to items that we use every day, such as dining tables and couches, and they’re often the homeowner’s biggest concern.
The best part? It’s affordable. The total cost to open a new Blue Kangaroo Packoutz franchise ranges from $185,866 to $381,396. To open a franchise in a small market, the total investment ranges from $177,876 to $364,421. If you own an existing contents restoration business, the costs are even more affordable, ranging from $95,931 to $286,590.
Discounted franchise fees. If you wish to purchase multiple Standard Franchise Territories at the time you sign your first Franchise Agreement with us, then we will discount the Initial Franchise Fee for the additional Franchise Agreement(s) by $10,000. The discount is only applicable if you purchase additional Standard Franchise Territories at the same time as your initial Standard Franchise purchase, and the discount will be applied to the Initial Franchise Fee for the additional territories only. The discount cannot be combined with any other discount and will not be granted toward any future Territory expansions.
Our commitment to you doesn’t stop with the low costs of ownership. Your franchise fee gives you access to a comprehensive training platform and access to leading industry experts dedicated to mentoring you through the process of growing your business. We will help you with everything from learning how to restore items using our equipment and methodology, how to work with the insurance companies to win business, ongoing marketing support, ongoing financial coaching to ensure that your business continues to grow, and more.
BELFOR Franchise Group can improve access to financing. Blue Kangaroo Packoutz doesn’t offer financing directly, but we do have relationships with third-party lenders. Being a part of the BELFOR Franchise Group is a big asset in getting access to financing, as lenders are often more likely to offer financing to franchises that have a strong track record.
We offer discounts for military veterans. We value our military veterans and believe that they make exceptional franchise owners. Their proven ability to follow systems, processes and demonstrate leadership makes them ideal candidates for Blue Kangaroo Packoutz. Because of this, we offer military veterans a discount on franchise ownership.
We also offer reductions in franchisee fees to our first-responders. We value your exceptional work as police officers, firefighters, paid and voluntary medical technicians and EMTS, and we want to help you make your transition into business ownership more affordable.
