Training

Insulation Commandos provides mandatory training to ensure that franchisees are fully prepared to operate their businesses in line with brand standards. This training is a core component of the startup process and must be completed before launching operations.

  1. Initial Training Program:
    Franchisees are required to participate in a pre-opening training program, which is necessary before beginning business operations. The estimated expenses associated with this training range from $1,000 to $5,000 and cover travel, lodging, and related costs.
  2. Pre-Opening Start-Up Package:
    This includes essential items and support needed to begin operations and may complement the training process, with costs ranging from $85,000 to $100,000. Though not explicitly labeled as training, this package aids in preparing franchisees for launch.

Territory Protection

Insulation Commandos grants franchisees a “Designated Territory” in which they are authorized to operate their business. This territory is defined in the Franchise Agreement and is a key part of the franchisee’s setup.

While the territory is assigned for operational purposes, the franchise documents do not indicate a strict exclusivity clause. The franchisor may allow franchisees to operate in multiple territories through a Multi-Territory Addendum, often granting up to three contiguous territories.

However, even with this addendum, exclusivity is not guaranteed beyond the designated zones. Franchisees must operate only within these areas and may not serve customers outside them without explicit permission.
