Paul Davis Restoration provides an extensive and structured training program to ensure franchisees are fully prepared to operate their businesses effectively. Here are the types of training programs offered by the franchisor:
New Owner Training Program This comprehensive training includes up to three weeks of classroom training in Jacksonville, Florida, or another designated location; up to one week of field training at the franchisee’s location; up to two weeks of online training prior to classroom instruction; and an optional advanced new owner class approximately one year after the initial training.
Job Cost Accountant (JCA) Training The designated Job Cost Accountant must complete a specific training program consisting of up to one week of field training or computer-based learning, focusing on job cost functions and financial operations.
Post-Opening On-Site Training After the franchise begins operations, a Launch trainer provides up to five days of on-site support covering operations, marketing, and financial training.
Phase II Training When a franchise achieves over $1 million in annual gross sales or at the recommendation of Paul Davis Restoration, the owner or general manager may be required to attend a Phase II training session at the headquarters.
Territory Protection
Paul Davis Restoration grants each franchisee a defined territory, typically described using zip code boundaries. While this area is intended to provide operational space free from other Paul Davis franchisees offering identical services under the same brand, the franchisee is not granted exclusivity.
The franchisor retains the right to operate or license others to operate similar businesses under different brand names within or near the same area.
Although the designated territory protects against internal brand competition, it does not preclude the franchisor from using alternative distribution channels such as the internet or from selling competing services under different marks.
