100% seller finance deal
Motivated-seller resale of an established PestMaster Services franchise covering Southern and Northern Maine — protected territory, ~250,000 population per the PestMaster 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document.
THE NUMBERS THAT MATTER:
• Direct from PestMaster (2025 FDD, Item 7): $103,900 – $206,300 to start a NEW franchise, with up to $42,500 franchise fee — and ZERO customers on Day 1.
• This Resale: $79,000 — below new-franchise low end. INCLUDES franchise rights, service vehicle, equipment, training, and a 671-record customer file.
• Original Owner Investment (2023): approximately $250,000. This resale represents about 32% of original cost.
WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THE $79,000 ASSET SALE:
Franchise rights to the protected Maine territory (subject to franchisor approval)
Dedicated service vehicle
Application equipment, inspection tools, PPE, bait stations
Chemical inventory at closing
671-record customer file in the franchise system
Seller's structured 2–4 week transition training + 90 days phone availability
PestMaster's 47-hour initial training and ~13-week onboarding for new buyer
PestMaster's ongoing marketing, technical, and operations support
Access to PestMaster's in-house Federal Contracts Department for government work
REASON FOR SALE — HONEST DISCLOSURE:
The current owner acquired the franchise in 2023 and invested ~$250K to establish it. A family situation arose shortly after that has prevented him from operating the franchise; the business has not generated revenue since 2023. The franchise relationship remains in good standing with PestMaster. This is an ASSET SALE / REACTIVATION OPPORTUNITY — the buyer reactivates the existing customer file and operates the franchise under full-time engagement (or as a bolt-on for an existing service business).
DEAL STRUCTURE:
• Asking Price: $79,000
• Down Payment: $25,000 (seller open to $15,000 minimum)
• Balance: Seller-financed over 60 months — terms negotiable
• Franchise Transfer Fee to PestMaster: $5,000 at closing
• SBA 7(a) eligible but not required given seller financing
• Closing path: 10–17 weeks from buyer qualification to close (seller-financed)
PESTMASTER SYSTEM BENCHMARK (for reference, not a guarantee):
Per the 2025 FDD Item 19, system-typical performance is approximately $374,719 average yearly gross sales with estimated annual earnings of $67,450 to $89,933. This is a system reference; actual results for this specific franchise depend on the buyer's reactivation execution and operating engagement.
IDEAL BUYER:
• First-time owner-operator entering the pest-control industry
• HVAC, landscaping, lawn care, cleaning, or home-services operator looking to bolt on a recurring-revenue line
• Existing pest-control operator expanding into the Maine market
NEXT STEPS:
Buyer qualification (NDA + capital evidence) required before further detail. Confidential Information Memorandum (42-page, comprehensive) available to qualified inquirers.
