Color Glo International Franchise Model Overview

Color Glo franchisees repair and restore leather, vinyl, velour, cloth, carpet, hard plastics and wood-grain panels, working on vehicle interiors as well as marine, aircraft and furniture upholstery. The system dates to 1976 and the work relies on proprietary dyes, adhesives and techniques taught in a two-week training program, with optional aviation certification at extra cost. It is a mobile, usually home-based business run from a work vehicle within an exclusive territory of about 300,000 people, so there is no build-out; most of the sub-$100K investment is the franchise fee and a start-up fee covering training and an initial product kit. Customers are typically dealerships, commercial accounts and consumers reached through direct contact and online advertising. The franchisee must be an individual who personally manages the business, though employees or contractors can do the labor. The system has been flat at 53 to 54 territories for three years, all franchised. Transfers require approval and a flat transfer fee.

Ideal owner profile

Self-starter able to prospect dealerships and commercial accounts in person
Modest capital, under $100K, with no need for a storefront or lease
