Start-up Costs
Franchise Fee, Royalties, & Reporting
The franchise fee for a Dr. Glass Window Washing franchise is between $3,000 and $6,000 depending upon which state your territory is located in and the size and previous development of each particular territory. There is also an on-going royalty on your gross window-washing income typically between 9% and 12% (depending on territory). After the first number of months, we require a minimum weekly royalty (paid weekly by automatic bank transfer) of between $100 and $400 per week. (This applies only during the window-washing season.) You are required to submit weekly job reports and bi-weekly copies of your database.

Equipment:
Your initial investment for window-washing gear and ladders can be as low as $1,000 to get started on a tight budget, and as high as $2,000 to fully capitalize your business. Of course you will need a reliable car, van or pick-up, a laptop, and a good cell phone. (We find that answering your phone at all times is key to getting lots of work!)

Insurance:
This is important - starting at about $850 for basic workman's compensation insurance (varying considerably by state). You will have to pay considerably more, over the course of the year, based on the size of your payroll. You also need liability insurance that costs about $850/year (varying by state) - in some instances you can be added to our corporate insurance, at first, to minimize your upfront costs.

Marketing:
A reasonable annual advertising investment would be around $8,000/year assuming you want an in-column Yellow Pages ad (paid over the course of the year), a listing in the local paper's service directory or a small display advert (also paid over time), plus a 10,000 flyers and some yard signs. Throw in a college-school student to help you distribute flyers. As your business grows and your database becomes filled with happy-repeat customers, you might choose to lower these marketing costs.
