Franchising is an incredible opportunity that gives budding entrepreneurs and investors an opportunity to own businesses with the support and guidance of a well-established brand. With more than 750,000 franchises in the US, finding the best industrial franchise company can be like looking for a needle in a haystack, which can be frustrating if you don’t know where to look.
When selecting an industrial franchise to invest in, you must consider a long list of potential swings in global and regional economic factors like inflation, the industry growth rate, or even the market that needs your products or services. Any of these factors can have a deep impact on the success of your investment, along with profitability.

Reviews and Testimonials
Reviews and testimonials from existing franchisees will give you an idea of the franchise you’re trying to invest in. There are various ways to find such information, like on message boards, social media, or articles where franchisees talk about their experience with the franchisor.
When conducting your research and the reviews are fairly consistent, you’ll have a good sense of the industrial franchise you’re investing in. At PIRTEK we care about our franchisees’ experiences, and here’s what a few of them had to say about working with us.
Transparency Regarding Costs
Transparency in business is important. It builds trust and goodwill among prospective owners and the franchise. When it comes to franchise costs, transparency also means being forthcoming and honest about the finances required to start your industrial business.
PIRTEK leaves no surprises for franchisees, especially when it comes to finances, and we clearly outline how much it costs to open a Tier 1 or Tier 2 PIRTEK franchise. These are the costs associated with our hydraulic and industrial hose opportunities:
- Tier 1 cost: The initial investment for a Tier 1 franchise is dependent on the size and your location. It costs between $413,300 to $899,300 and includes a retail store complete with staff and a number of vehicles to offer service on the go. Our Tier 1 franchisees are expected to have a net worth of approximately $750,000.
- Tier 2 cost: Compared to our Tier 1 investment, a Tier 2 business is a less expensive alternative. With an investment between $222,400 to $527,000, your business will be exclusively conducted using Mobile Sales and Service units. As a Tier 2 franchisee, you will be expected to have a net worth of around $250,000.
