Chem-Dry is a great small business for the individual who wants to be in business for himself but not be by himself. Over 4000 Franchise owners in 43 countries have enjoyed the flexibility and financial freedom that Chem-Dry offers. Ranked #1 Franchise for Carpet Cleaning by Entrepreneur Magazine for 21 consecutive years, and awarded a 9.3 out of 10 rating for customer satisfaction.

The current offering is a 26 year old operation, the last six of which have been under its second owner. At present, it is one of seven franchises licensed to operate in Sonoma County: there are presently no additional new franchise opportunities available in the County. It is one of only three franchises licensed to operate within Sonoma County that utilizes the top of the line truck-mounted CTS450 System. The CTS450 provides a higher temperature chemical-free cleaning solution at higher pressure with twice the carbonation, producing optimal results far superior to the smaller, portable units.

Current customer data base exceeds 2,000 names and includes an extensive number of repeat commercial accounts, including several commercial and residential property management companies, restaurants, dental and medical offices. Four existing phone lines can be transferred to new owner. Two of the same phone numbers have been in place for 25 years; two have been in place for 6 years.

The price of a new franchise (unavailable in Sonoma County) is $49,450 and that would include the franchise fee and CTS 450 truck mounted system.

In comparison, the offering price of $60,000 for this franchise has several distinct advantages:
●No new franchises are currently available in Sonoma County
●Chevrolet 2005 ¾ Ton Van with 57,000 original miles is included
●One year’s prepaid advertising in 5 Directories is included (approximately $2500 of prepaid expense)
●Customer goodwill. An existing client base of repeat customers
●Prepaid Business and Casualty Insurance
●5 Days Training at Chem-Dry Corporate in Logan, Utah and on-going marketing and technical support: same as new licensee
●Turnkey Operation: once you return from your 5 day training seminar in Logan, Utah, you have everything already in place: an existing client data base, advertising, insurance, phones, Chem-Dry Equipment, inventory, truck, and a seller who will train, support and introduce you to existing clients.
