Conserva Irrigation is World-Class

because their franchisees say they are!

The Company

Founded on the principles of water conservation, Conserva Irrigation® delivers professional, innovative, and environmentally responsible irrigation services to its clients, including both residential homeowners and commercial property owners.

Conserva’s environmentally responsible approach to irrigation reduces water use from sprinkler systems by up to 60% for a typical property while fostering lush, healthy lawns and landscapes and an attractive ROI to both property owners and franchisees.

From repairs, maintenance, system redesigns, upgrades of existing irrigation systems, design and installation of new irrigation systems, and drainage projects, Conserva offers full-service irrigation services to both residential and commercial properties.

As the first franchise offering in the irrigation industry, Conserva offers clients the professionalism and comfort of dealing with a national branded entity compared to a small local “mom and pop” across the industry sector.

The Conserva business model includes:

• Proven client acquisition and retention systems;
• Proprietary irrigation system inspection methods to identify and communicate needed repairs and system efficiency upgrade opportunities to clients in order to secure sales;
• Year-round cycle of irrigation-focused services to offer franchisees tactics to smooth any seasonality in their local market;
• Consistent and predictable high-margin business model that produces median 61.0% gross profit margins for the top performing franchisees (As described in Item 19 in the Conserva Irrigation 2020 Franchise Disclosure Document);
• Recurring revenue business model by “productizing” the service offerings into annual service agreements that creates stickiness of client relationships and revenue;
• Professionally installed drainage solutions to manage sudden downpours or continual rainfall in a very short period of time, thus mitigating the damage to expensive landscapes and home foundations;
• National and regional account opportunities developed by the franchisor where the work is subcontracted out to franchisees;
• Robust proprietary field services IT platform for franchisees to market and operate their businesses; and
• Established supply chain relationships with manufacturers and distributors that provides a cost of goods advantage to Conserva franchisees over local competitors.

Having launched as a franchise in July 2017 after five years of testing the model in nine markets throughout the country, Conserva has grown to surpass 100 locations in less than 3 ½ years. Among its numerous awards, it has been recognized on the Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest growing private companies in 2019 and 2020. Conserva’s system sales continued to grow rapidly during the COVID-19 pandemic as American’s hunkered down at home, they increased investments in home improvement and maintenance activities and Conserva is well-positioned to take advantage of this increased demand.

The Opportunity

Conserva Irrigation offers several key competitive advantages:

• Booming Industry: COVID-resistant industry with over 50 million irrigation systems in the ground across the United States that need regular repair and servicing.
• Emerging from Enterprise: Backed by a large multi-branded exterior home services franchise company, Outdoor Living Brands, that has successfully scaled four similar franchise businesses.
• First Mover Advantage: Conserva is the first irrigation franchise bringing professionalism, innovation and environmental responsibility to a “mom and pop” dominated industry.
• Environmental Responsibility: Conserva is an irrigation company that focuses on water conservation. Fresh water is the world’s most precious natural resource and, when an irrigation system is present, it accounts for almost 60% of the gallons used annually by a residential homeowner. Reducing water used in a sprinkler system is a property owners single largest opportunity to save water and lower its water bill.
• Proprietary Sales Methodology: Conserva pioneered the development of a System Efficiency Score® (SES) to quantifiably rate irrigation systems and establish strong buying motivations.
• Simple Scalable Model: Home-based, rapid launch, few employees.
• Attractive Unit Economics: Strong AUV’s, quick ramp-up, high gross profit margins and recurring revenue model produces attractive franchise ROI.
• Exceptional Franchisee Validation: Excited franchisees; Outstanding franchisee-franchisor relationships proven through annual 3^rd party confidential validation research.
• Customized, Proprietary Field Services IT Platform: Full enterprise IT platform handling marketing, field ops, inventory management, scheduling, routing, invoicing, payment processing and financial reporting integration.
• Highly Accredited Business Coaches: Our franchise operations business coaches have a combined 100+ years of industry experience and collectively have earned and maintained every available industry accreditation, ASLA Backflow certification, including an in-house certified arborist.
• Supply Chain Relationships: Negotiated supply chain relationships provide cost of goods advantage for franchisees over local competitors.
• Regional and National Accounts: Conserva boasts a footprint that is attractive to enable the brand to secure national and regional accounts that local “mom and pop” contractors cannot serve.

The Requirements

Ideal candidates for Conserva Irrigation include many of the following attributes:

• Highly client service-orientation;
• Sales and marketing backgrounds;
• Outgoing individuals who enjoy building relationships and networking in their local communities;
• Self-starters, motivated, ambitious individuals wanting to build a scalable business;
• Ability to recruit, train, lead and retain a team of dedicated employees;
• Business management experience that includes P&L responsibility;
• Willing and comfortable following a proven franchise model and operating systems; and
• Competitive and results driven.

Initial franchise fees are $49,500 for a single territory, $89,500 for a two-territory package and $119,500 for a three-territory package. Discounts available as a VetFran participant and for conversion franchise for candidates that currently operate an independent irrigation business.

Total investment range between $81,800 to $102,250 for a single territory.

Minimum liquid capital of $50,000.

Minimum net worth of $250,000.

Partial financing options are available to qualified applicants.

Archadeck is World Class

because their franchisees say they are!

The Company

Archadeck | Outdoor Living is the nation’s leading designer and builder of outdoor living projects, which includes decks, screened and open porches, sunrooms, patios, outdoor kitchens and fireplaces, gazebos, pergolas and related outdoor living structures. Archadeck is known for designing custom projects that blend seamlessly into the existing architectural style of the client’s property. With over 30 years of experience, the Archadeck System has been making the outdoor living dreams of our clients come true with a variety of custom designed backyard projects.

Archadeck | Outdoor Living has been featured on HGTV and the DIY Network and is consistently ranked as the nation’s top deck and porch builder by Qualified Remodeler Magazine in their annual survey of remodeling firms.

Enjoy building a business to reach your career, lifestyle and financial goals all out of the comfort of your own home (or the great outdoors).  Enjoy a schedule that is flexible and completely under your control while exercising your creativity and working with appreciative clients to positively impact their family’s lifestyle.

The Opportunity

Low overhead costs: You don’t need a storefront as many of our franchises start their business from their home office.  Employee costs are low as the Archadeck business model utilizes qualified subcontractors that we help you identify, interview and hire. Inventory costs are negligible, as most building materials are ordered as needed and paid for by the client in a series of progress payments common to the construction industry as the project progresses through the various stages of our documented “Job Progress Methodology”.

“Recession-resistant” business model: When finances become tight, consumers are more likely to make improvements to their existing home rather than move to a newer one.  And when the economy is good, consumers enjoy investing in more expansive outdoor living projects that improve their quality of life and add value to their home. Either way, outdoor living is an extremely popular lifestyle category and an extraordinarily attractive option for homeowners.

Outdoor structures such as decks offer a greater return on investment than almost any other type of addition or renovation according to the annual “Cost vs. Value” report from Remodeling Magazine. And the Archadeck Outdoor Living business opportunity is about much more than just decks. We build porches, outdoor living rooms, sunrooms, hardscape patios, outdoor kitchens and fireplaces, pergolas, gazebos and more. Once your customer finishes one successful outdoor living project with you, they will count on you for future projects and refer you to their friends and family members who are also in need of a quality outdoor living contractor.

Proven sales process:  You will benefit from the proven Archadeck sales process which is based on a more consultative approach to design and construction issues and is extremely popular with our clients.  You’ll be working with high quality sales materials and tools such as our iPad sales app, project retainers and our exclusive “Design Guide”, which helps our clients better visualize the specific features they want to include in their project.  And while many of your competitors might scribble deck dimensions and a rough layout on a napkin, you’ll deliver a fabulous 3-D computer generated rendering and construction drawings from our Drafting & Construction Services Department that will knock your customers’ socks off. The designs will be presented as professional CAD drawings accurately depicting the superior visual impact of the finished product. Customers’ worries are put to rest by construction standards proven on over 100,000 Archadeck projects and 30 years of exemplary operation. And to nail the deal shut, you’ll offer not only the strong Archadeck written warranty, but a third party guarantee of project completion on all projects, which offers unmatched levels of client protection.

Exceptional training, marketing resources and materials, business guidance and operational coaching will help you reach your goals and you have the added comfort of knowing those services are provided by Outdoor Living Brands, a multi-branded franchisor with over 200 franchisees across North America.

Work from home with the comfort of a flexible schedule that is completely under your control and enjoy the tremendous satisfaction that comes from designing and building projects that add enjoyment and lasting value to your clients.

Protected franchise areas are still available in extremely desirable locations.

The Requirements

Our ideal candidate has;

• Interpersonal skills: Energetic individuals with strong interpersonal and communication skills that enjoy networking with other professionals. (Sometimes a spouse excels at this and becomes a valuable asset to the business.)
• General Project Management Experience:  Experience managing both projects and people and the ability to follow a well-documented process. Please note that a background in the construction or remodeling industry is not required.
• Solid work ethic:  Attention to detail, diligence and a determination to provide the best possible service and product are an essential part of the customer service experience that sets Archadeck apart.
• Creativity:  Has the ability to think creatively and solve problems through our proven and innovative approach to design and clearly enjoys the outdoor living category.

Initial franchise fee ranging from $24,750 – $49,500 depending on the type of territory awarded to a candidate.

Discounts available as a VetFran participant or as an add-on or conversion franchise for candidates that currently operate another remodeling, construction or outdoor services company.
