What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Deck Medic's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated initial inventory costs range from $2,500 to $5,000. This inventory includes required equipment and supplies, such as proprietary software, uniforms, business cards, contracts, and toolbox items. Deck Medic franchisees must purchase this initial inventory from DM Supplies, an affiliate of Deck Medic, or from their designated suppliers.
This initial inventory serves as a supplement to the parts and supplies that franchisees will need to purchase regularly for their Deck Medic business's day-to-day operations. If a franchisee intends to operate more than one service vehicle in their operating territory, they must purchase one initial product order per service vehicle.
Prospective franchisees should consider this cost when planning their initial investment. It is important to note that this is just an estimate, and actual costs may vary. Franchisees should also factor in the ongoing costs of inventory replenishment as part of their operational expenses.
