First, there are real costs to starting any business, and the Klappenberger & Son franchise start-up costs are no exception.
One of the most significant financial decisions you may make is whether to buy a franchise. If you buy a franchise, you certainly want to make sure you buy the one that gives your family financial security.
There are three areas to pay attention to:
First, what are the franchise start-up costs? As you will shortly see, even though all the franchises are in the painting industry, the start-up costs vary greatly.
At Klappenberger & Son, we are committed to assisting you in the process of obtaining funding. While we do not personally finance any portion of the loan, we will guide you in preparing the necessary documentation to present to the loan officer.
The franchise start-up cost listed below includes a franchise fee. Looking only at the chart above would conclude that we are either the lowest or the third lowest in price. However, what the graph does not show is what the franchise fee includes.
Here is the territory size that comes with a single franchise.
The following table contains an overview of all franchise start-up costs:
It’s so easy to get excited about owning a franchise and focus heavily on the franchise start-up costs. However, you should not dismiss fees based on gross sales as simply “the cost of doing business.”
Even 1% adds up! If your franchise does $500,000 in gross sales in its first year, that 1 % is $5,000 out of your pocket. As your business grows to say a million, that 1% represents $10,000. Over the course of ten years that could easily be $100,000 that goes to the franchisor and not you.
At Klappenberger & Son, we are very concerned about keeping the franchise start-up cost and ongoing fees as low as possible.
As the chart above shows, some of the franchises’ fees are 1%- 6% higher than others. Over the course of a ten-year contract, that would result in hundreds of thousands of dollars going from your pocket to the franchisor.

When reviewing the franchise start-up cost, you can request the franchisor send you a current Franchise Disclosure Document called an FDD. Item 12 in the FDD will disclose the size of a typical territory and what it costs to increase that size.
The chart shows that the typical territory has about 200,000 people. Each franchisor charges different fees to increase the population. Prices vary between franchisors, but it is safe to say starting with a large territory like Klappenberger & Son can save you at least $60,000!
The chart above shows the additional costs it would take to have a franchise the size of Klappenberger & Son. It would cost between 75,000- $90,000 to have a franchise territory the same size as Klappenberger & Son.
A major benefit of owning a Klappenberger & Son franchise is that we offer you your choice from a wide array of expansive, available territories. Our territories are much larger than those of all other competitors. Right now, the wealthiest territories are still available in your area. Truly, a fantastic advantage of getting a franchise early is that you can stake your claim where you want.
I’d rather have 200 successful and satisfied franchises than 400 franchises complaining that their territories are too small.
I’ve heard stories of other franchises complaining that they are bidding against each other for large commercial jobs.
Also, before franchising, I grew my company to 25 techs working during the peak seasons. The area I worked in had about 450,000 people. Thus, it would only be fair that my franchisees to have the same opportunity.
Owning and growing your own business has never been easier. Currently, we have franchises available in all of Virginia and Delaware and in most of Maryland. 10 of the top 20 wealthiest counties in the country are in these areas.
