GreaseBusters Franchise Cost and Requirements for 2025

Background

PROVEN BUSINESS MODEL - We were established in 1971 and, we've been cleaning kitchen exhaust systems for 45 years. We know this business better than any other company in the market, and it's our business model - not our Dealership sales - that makes us the industry leader.

NO ROYALTY FEES - We don't take a percentage of your sales. The income you generate from executing our model stays in your pocket.

PATENTED CHEMICAL - Our patented "GreaseBeast" drastically cuts labor costs and job times. Only our Dealers have access to GreaseBeast, which gives you an advantage over the competition from day 1.

REQUIRED SERVICE- This service is required by Federal Law (NFPA 96). You're not chasing discretionary income like so many other business owners. Any business that cooks food has to have our service provided or they get shut down - it's that simple.

ISO 9001:2015 - We are the only ISO 9001:20015 certified company in our industry in the country. ISO 9001:2015 is the most prestigious quality certification available, and having this certification means that our business operations have been analyzed by independent experts and deemed worthy of the ISO 9001:2015 standard.

UNITED STATES ACADEMY OF KITCHEN EXHAUT SPECIALISTS (USAKES) - We are the founders of USAKES, which is the industry's preeminent training program. All of our Dealers are certified through USAKES and have ongoing access to USAKES. USAKES is also 9001:2015 certified.

CORPORATE ACCOUNTS - We secure nationwide and regional contracts with major corporate customers on a regular basis. Any location that is in your territory becomes your account. Corporate accounts can greatly increase your book of business without you having to do any of the leg work.

LARGE EXCLUSIVE TERRITORIES - Unlike some companies, our exclusive territories are large enough for you to grow your business for years to come. We want people with the motivation, drive and skill to develop large operations, and we'll grant you a large enough territory to achieve that goal.

DEALERSHIP NETWORK- A strong and active network of ISC local owners and operators.

Buying a Franchise Guide: What is a Franchise Disclosure Document?

When evaluating a franchise opportunity, reading and understanding the current version of their FDD is a necessity. Considering the benefits of franchising, such as established brand recognition and support from the franchisor, it's important to also take into account franchise fees and franchising royalty fees. Since most franchisors are privately owned companies, the current versions of their FDDs are typically not available unless requested directly from them.
