The equipment you receive as a franchisee is customized for our business, and has been perfected over many years. If you are mechanically inclined, and like hands-on projects, you will be able to perform Altracolor repairs. The only stipulation is that you cannot be afflicted with any degree of color blindness.
You will have to provide a vehicle, a mini cargo van is acceptable, or a pick-up truck with an approved bed cover or top. The cost of this vehicle is up to you. You may secure financing for the purchase or you may lease the vehicle through your local dealer. Insurance costs will vary by locale but should range between $1,000 and $3,000 and probably can be financed by the insurance agency if needed. If you have employees, the payroll cost should be included in working capital estimates.
