As we work with prospective Fresh Coat franchisees, they frequently ask us the following questions:

Do you need any painting experience to be in the business?

No, in fact we prefer you don't. The painting will be done by painters that you hire who already have the skills and expertise to do the work. You are there to manage and grow your business. Everything you will need to know about starting and operating your business will be provided through our extensive training program and on-going support.

Do I bill my customers and maintain any account receivables?

Absolutely not. It's a cash business even when you take advantage of our "Paint Now & Pay Later" Program. You are paid for each job upon completion of the work. In fact, unlike most painters, you can even accept most major credit cards.

What kind of training can I expect?

Fresh Coat offers a complete turn-key operation. During your initial training, you will learn how to operate a successful and profitable business. Our initial training program provides you with:

• The skills and knowledge needed to hire quality painters who will be responsible for actually doing the work.
• The training necessary to bid the work. Most importantly, the majority of work will already be priced out through our standard pricing method.
• The expertise to manage and organize your business through the use of computers, accounting software, budgeting and time management techniques.
• An understanding of your target market and all of the tools necessary to market your business. Our strategy is effective and powerful. When used properly, it will help build your business into a household name among friends, neighbors, realtors and homeowners in your market.

What type of ongoing support can I expect?

It's quite extensive. In addition to our training, telephone support, corporate newsletters and technical assistance, we offer:

• Advertising and Public Relations - As a Fresh Coat franchise, you will receive a complete marketing and advertising package. It includes pre-approved ads, PR pieces, brochures, newspaper ads, direct mail, postcards, magazine ads, thank you cards, trade show exhibits, referral programs and much, much more! In addition, Fresh Coat is continuously developing new marketing materials that will keep you on top of the market.
• Incentive Programs - Sometimes a few movie tickets, a shopping spree, or a complimentary dinner may be a great way to say "Thank You." But, have you ever heard of painting someone's house for free? Probably not, however, homeowners, Realtors® and associates in the Fresh Coat markets have.
