Spring-Green Lawn Care has developed new franchise ownership options to attract green industry business owners and professionals to the franchise opportunity. Green industry professionals can now take advantage of the two new Spring-Green Lawn Care franchise programs.
The Green Associate Assistance Program applies up to $10,000 of the initial franchise fee toward start-up expenses designated or approved by Spring-Green, which may include the initial marketing campaign fee. The program is for qualified candidates who currently own or are employed by green industry businesses, such as landscape management professionals, landscape maintenance companies, landscape designers, irrigation/water management professionals and others.
The Green Associate Roll-In Program is designed for qualified candidates who own independent green industry businesses that already provide professional lawn and tree care services and want to convert that portion of their business to a Spring-Green franchise while keeping their existing company. These franchise owners will pay a reduced royalty rate for the first 12 months of operation. They are also eligible for the Green Associate Assistance Program.
In addition, for all new franchise owners that join in 2012, Spring-Green is offering a Marketing Reinvestment Program which applies $10,000 of the initial franchise fee to marketing and advertising expenditures in the second full year of operation.
