[Item 7: ESTIMATED INITIAL INVESTMENT]
Notes
-
- See Items 5 and 11. You must purchase from our Approved Supplier an Initial Package consisting of tablet, backpack sprayer, consumables, vehicle magnets, and an allowance for the purchase of required van graphics.

- You may operate your Clear Pest Pros Business from a home office, or an industrial park or commercial space with a minimum of 1,500 square feet. We encourage you to operate your Clear Pest Pros Business from your home, provided your home is within your territory, for the first 12 18 months of business. We estimate that the average monthly rent for an industrial park space ranges from $1,000 to $2,000 per month. Landlords typically require a lease deposit of one or two months' rent. We will not evaluate the location of your commercial space. Your rent may be subject to escalation clauses based on inflation or other factors as provided in your lease. The annual rent amount may vary significantly depending on the area of the country, condition, location and size of the location and the demand for the location among prospective tenants. The rent estimate is based on our experience in our Florida and Georgia locations. Your initial investment will be much greater if you purchase real estate and construct your premises and we do not have any estimate of those costs.
