It's easy to see how the flexibility and ease associated with running a Filta franchise makes it an appealing prospect to the savvy investor.However, since being the "man in the van" is a technical and hands-on operation, it makes sense for us to take a closer look at just what the FIlta business entails.  What can you really expect from your Filta experience?

FiltaFry

Every Franchisee provides the essential FiltaFry Service to customers in his or her territory an average of one to two time each week.However, the succes of this franchise and any business for that matter, is the owner's dedication and enthusiasm for the job.  After all, it is your business and no one is going to motivate you to succeed other than yourself.You can do four service calls a day or you can push yourself to do eight or more. The decision is yours.Only you can decide, and in the end, you are the one who benefits most from putting in that extra effort to maximize your business' potential.

Most people are drawn towards going into business for themselves by the strong feeling of independence.Business ownership allows you to have the control.  More importantly it allows you to take total control of your finances.
The Filta service fees are calculated by the amount of oil that is filtered for any given location.  Accordingly, the value of each job varies somewhat, but the average service charge per call is .85, serviced either once or twice a week.At eight calls per day and five days per week, it would be around 74 each week in revenue.  As your business grows you may consider expanding to a multi-van operation.   The potential to increase profits (allotting for the costs of hiring on another technician) is great.Additional techs can be trained by Filta or you can opt to train them yourself if you are authorized to do so.

You are free to set your own schedule since it is your own business.However, the intelligent franchisees will quicly realize that some days are more profitable than others.Lunchtime is a very busy time for most restaurants so you will want to service them after their rush has died down.On the other hand, calling schools, colleges, offices and hospitals in the early afternoon can be quite profitable.

FiltaCool

Your business may also provide the FiltaCool service, if your customers desire to see savings in their coolers systems as well.Filta leases FiltaCool panels.The panels are very easy to install and are changed every three months.You can "de-gas" the panels at your home office on your own time.  These panels are then ready for re-use either at the same location or at another business.  The average customer employs the use of 6 panels at per panel per month - roughly per customer each month.
Hopefully this has answered some of your questions about owning a Filta Franchise.As you can see, if a franchisee follows the cookie cutter plans that Filta lays out, there is some significant money to be made.However, don't think that it comes without hard work.  As with most things in life, you get only in proportion to what you are willing to put in.
