$60,000–$75,000

DECKSEAL

This is a hands-on business opportunity at an affordable $60,000–$70,000. DeckSeal began back in 2007 and traded for 11 years before venturing into the franchise field.

As this is very much a hands-on business opportunity franchisees will need to add in the cost of a van or trailer.

The business is so much more than the name suggests

– it isn’t all deck work. In fact, the services on offer are quite varied, from timber structural services such as fences and screens, bench seats, garage doors, outdoor furniture, planter boxes, through to high pressure washing and concrete/paving cleaning and sealing.

Key to the high standard of work franchisees deliver is access to top quality products backed up by software and training in quoting and estimating.

Franchisees come from a variety of careers such as construction, government, corporate and the motor vehicle industry but share practical skills, a capacity for hard work, and are self-motivated.
