360 Painting provides a comprehensive training program designed to ensure the success of its franchisees. The training includes both initial and ongoing support:

Territory Protection

The 360 Painting franchise offers robust territory protection to its franchisees, ensuring that each franchisee operates within an exclusive area. This territory is typically defined to include a minimum of 30,000 households with annual incomes exceeding $75,000 and a population of at least 300,000.

By providing this exclusive territory, 360 Painting ensures that franchisees do not compete with other franchisees within the same brand, allowing them to focus on building their business without the concern of internal market saturation​​.
