How Much Does it cost for a plant set up?
- A. For an existing plant the costs are minimal which can be estimated only after review of your current plant set up.
- B. In addition to the above, there is a one time Technology Transfer Fee.
- C. Royalty on gallonage of sealer produced plus a fee for General Services.
What is the difference in STAR'S Technology Licensing Program vs. a Franchise Program
- A. Costs a fraction of a typical franchised program, resulting in higher bottom line profits for you. Our cost is typically 1-2% for an average plant (1 million gallons) whereas a franchised program on the average would cost over 6-7% on your total revenue. Our royalty structure is based strictly on the gallons of sealer produced in your plant, NOT ON YOUR TOTAL REVENUE.
- B. You are free to expand and grow your business in any way you wish without any interference from STAR. On the contrary, we will help you in an advisory capacity if the expansion is within the scope of our experience and expertise.
