Buying
a Pool Route is much like buying a restaurant, a gas station or a
coin laundry. National Pool Route Sales (NPRS) is a broker much like
a business broker, but they specialize in selling pool routes.
Unlike a traditional business broker that will sell you a business
and then leave you to run it and succeed or fail, NPRS will come
along side you to help you succeed. They have many safeguards in
place to protect you after the sale and also offer you free
consulting after the sale to help you grow your business.
One
of the protections that they offer is that the seller will sign a
non-compete clause so that he cannot go back and try to regain the
accounts he just sold you. The seller also will train you and NPRS
also offers a guarantee if an account is lost not due to negligence
on your part. I mentioned the consulting they include with the
purchase and Charles explains in the Podcast that the best way to
grow your business is with the help of their consulting firm.
Purchasing
a pool route is a big commitment and investment and it is one way to
start your business with money coming in the door. An alternative
method is working for someone and learning the business and then
striking out on your own. You can also get a truck and equipment and
start from scratch, but building a route can take some time depending
on your area. It can be done this way successfully but many choose
instead to just purchase a full or partial pool route.
Many
people are reluctant to go this route because of stories they have
heard about deals that have gone bad. NPRS is a licensed broker and
operates on the same principles as a business broker. The sale is
handled through an escrow service and the contracts are legal and
binding. This is very different then when you purchase a pool route
directly from a pool guy or from an unlicensed company. In those
cases there are no safety nets and sometimes those deals can turn out
to be very bad.
I
personally do not endorse one method over another. I want to give my
audience a chance to see every aspect of starting a pool business and
purchasing an established pool route through a reputable and licensed
broker is a good way to get started. If you wanted to get into the
restaurant business you certainly can lease a location and start your
business from scratch. It may take you awhile to build up your
clientele and your belt may get a bit tight, but it can be done. Or
you can by a Burger King that is already making money and step right
in and take it over.
I
think it boils down to preference in which way you want to get
started in the pool business. Charles will go over in detail how NPRS
can get you started in the business and he answers many questions
regarding purchasing a pool route.
