How CertaPro Painters® Prepares Franchisees for Their Next Step

When it comes time to transition out of owning the best painting franchise, CertaPro Painters® franchisees looking to move to another professional opportunity or even retirement can rest assured – Certa ProPainters, Ltd. has a team and processes in place to help ensure a smooth transition.

“We want franchisees to have an exit strategy when they enter the business and that exit strategy is going to be different for different business owners,” said Certa ProPainters, Ltd. Vice President of Franchise Development Jeff Bien. “We are the largest player in the $56 billion painting space but we have a 1 percent share of the market.”

Since the CertaPro Painters® brand is already so prevalent, with more than 350 locations across North America, many incoming franchisees looking for a painting franchise purchase their territory from an existing franchise. To that end, Certa ProPainters, Ltd. can help exiting franchisees find a buyer.

Franchise sales process

Should a CertaPro Painters® franchisee decide to sell their franchise, they would initially work with Bien to prepare, and then with his team.

“My team works with brokers and recruiters to market those available franchises and find prospective buyers,” Bien said. “Prospective buyers have to be approved by Certa ProPainters, Ltd. It has to be a mutual fit. They have to like the business model and we have to vet them before bringing them before a prospective seller.”

For those who have ever thought about starting or owning a painting business: Certa ProPainters, Ltd. offers CertaPro Painters® franchisees a robust business that is committed to continuing to bring acclaim to the commercial and residential painting industry thanks to exceptional quality and care. Part of what makes the CertaPro Painters® brand the best painting franchise is the focus on making sure that anyone who interacts with the brand has a positive experience.

Brand value and labor

“The brand experience has to be great for anyone who touches our brand—consumers, painters, you name it,” Bien said. “If someone used us in Denver and moved to Atlanta and had a great experience, they will use us again. That adds value to the CertaPro Painters® business owner in Atlanta.”

That value also applies to labor. “If painters are out there and they like working with the CertaPro Painters® brand, that makes it easier for our owners to continue scaling their business and to add labor because crews like to work for CertaPro Painters® businesses,” said Bien.

Certa ProPainters, Ltd.’s successful focus on preparing franchisees for their next steps in their business journeys is a testament to the CertaPro Painters® strength and reputation in the market as the best painting franchise to buy.

“CertaPro Painters® enjoys a proven model and Certa ProPainters, Ltd. has been around for 27 years,” Bien said. “We service many markets and do nearly a half a billion in system-wide sales. We’re not going anywhere.”
