What will I receive as part of the CRAL franchise system?

We provide you with all of the equipment needed to start services right away with our turnkey trailer. You or your operating manager will have up to 10 days of training at our headquarters. In addition, we will provide up to a total of four days of onsite help at your own location. You will have access to all CRAL operational procedures and other exclusive tools. We’ll also provide you with a copy of our confidential operations manual to help you run your business effectively.

What type of prior experience do I need to have?

Though some experience in mold remediation or other environmental cleaning services is a plus, it is not required to become a CRAL franchise owner.

Regardless of your skills or background, we will provide the tools and training you need to run your own CRAL business. We do, of course, also expect that you have the right amount of capital to invest in the franchise program.
