PIRTEK Offers Two Types of Franchise Options
Tier 1 - The estimated initial investment for a Tier 1 franchise starts at around $347K. Factors like the size and location of your business will determine exactly how much you’ll need to spend. Our Tier 1 hydraulic franchises are comprehensive businesses that include a retail store complete with staff of 5-7, along with at least 3 vehicles to offer service on-the-go.
Tier 2 - The estimated initial investment for a Tier 2 franchise starts at around $162K. These franchisees should plan on expanding into a Tier 1 franchise within a few years. A Tier 2 franchise allows them to generate the income and establish the customer base that will make this expansion possible. Our Tier 2 hydraulic franchises area mobile-only businesses that include 2 vehicles and a warehouse or storage facility for inventory.
Veteran Incentives
PIRTEK participates in the Veterans Transition Franchise Initiative (VetFran), which provides business opportunities to veterans. If you are an honorably discharged U.S. military veteran, you may be eligible (ask about our special incentives for veterans).
