Painting /Handyman Franchise near Columbus OH (Semi-Absentee)
Asset Sale Description
The Columbus, OH housing market is exploding! Now is the time to own your own franchise specializing in painting and handyman work.
This Business offers a variety of services, including interior & exterior painting and multiple handyman services like electrical, flooring, porch repair, wall removal, bath remodeling and more. The franchise expanded into the Columbus market in 2023. Listed in Best Picks as one of the top painting contractors over the last 12 years.
The current owner of the Columbus Market is semi-absentee investing approx. 10 hours per week. The business operates with a project manager/estimator and subcontractors. Any licensed work is completed utilizing the licenses held by the subcontractors.
Business Strengths (noted from the owner):
1. Proven Results & Growth Potential
Two Years of Operation: Despite being relatively young, we’ve maintained steady revenue and developed strong local recognition in Northern Columbus. That means you aren’t stepping into a risky new venture; rather, you’ll benefit from the groundwork already laid.
Consistently High Win Rate: My sales lead—whom I trust completely—has a win rate of over 30%. This indicates a stable flow of jobs and a well-tuned sales process. You’ll inherit an experienced salesperson who truly understands how to bring in and close business.
Reliable Subcontracting Teams: I’ve vetted and built relationships with two highly dependable teams. You don’t need to scramble to find trustworthy labor; the framework for efficient service is already in place.
2. Territorial Exclusivity & Regional Advantage
Exclusive Rights for the Northern Half of Columbus: This franchise agreement provides you with a protected market where no other franchise can operate. Invaluable to the purchase of this franchise.
Practical Coverage Throughout Ohio: Because there are no other franchisees in the state, your potential reach extends well beyond just Northern Columbus. You’re essentially in a prime position to capture an even larger customer base if you choose to expand.
3. Tangible Assets & Equipment
Company Van (Paid Off): The vehicle is an asset that reduces your upfront costs; you won’t have to worry about monthly vehicle payments.
Over $10k in Equipment: From sprayers and pressure washers to other specialized construction tools, you’d acquire the means to hit the ground running.
4. Franchise Support & Brand Strength
Training & Marketing: The franchisor’s support, brand recognition, and marketing systems help drive revenue. While franchise fees exist, they are offset by the advantages of an established name and network. This is a key reason many choose a franchise model over starting from scratch.
Minimal In-State Competition: You effectively have an open lane for expansion across Ohio, given the absence of other franchisees. New buyers often pay a premium for underdeveloped territories with high growth potential.
This is a great opportunity for someone who may already be operating as a handyman or painter but is ready to take the next step.
