PuroClean Franchise

PuroClean’s franchisor began as Purofirst International, Inc., incorporated in Florida on October 3, 1990. It began offering restoration franchises in 1991 under the Purofirst name, added certain non-casualty cleaning and purification services in 1999, and introduced the PuroClean franchise offering in 2001. The company changed its name to PuroSystems, Inc. in December 2002 and converted to PuroSystems, LLC in September 2015. Its headquarters are in Tamarac, Florida, and its parent since September 2015 is Puro Enterprise Holdings, LLC.

The business provides drying, cleaning, repair, mitigation, remediation and related services to residential and commercial customers, including work connected with insurance claims and work outside insurance coverage. Franchisees use restoration equipment from a service vehicle and operate from an approved office. A home office is possible where permitted. The system uses a Protected Office Location, rather than an exclusive customer territory: other PuroClean businesses may market and serve customers inside and outside that area.

The April 20, 2026 FDD lists a standard initial franchise fee of $59,000. New franchises, conversions of existing restoration businesses and additional franchises have separate investment schedules and eligibility provisions. For a new franchise, the FDD also separates financing the vehicle and equipment package from purchasing them outright. Conversion franchisees receive an assessment of their existing equipment and any additional purchases needed to meet system standards. The brand’s company history provides further background.

New Franchise Training takes place through PuroClean Academy in Tamarac, Florida. The FDD describes 17 days of instruction, approximately three online and 14 at the training facility, which may not be consecutive. Topics include equipment and product orientation, safety, estimating, business management, accounting, sales, job-management systems, water damage restoration, mold remediation and marketing. The program combines classroom instruction and practical equipment work.

The individual franchisee, required principals and a manager where applicable must complete training satisfactorily before opening. Instructors, online instruction and training materials are included for up to two attendees; additional attendees currently may be charged $699. Franchisees pay travel, wages and other attendance expenses, plus certification exam charges. The Academy provides IICRC-approved Water Restoration Technician and Applied Structural Drying instruction; the FDD lists an $80 exam fee for each designation. The Applied Microbial Remediation Technician course must be completed within 90 days after initial training and has separate course and exam costs.

PuroClean may require a five-day mentoring program with an experienced franchisee, although it is not obligated to offer the program. Participants pay travel, lodging and related costs and receive a $2,500 royalty credit after successful completion. PuroLaunch may also be offered and required after Academy training; the disclosed format has 16 online sessions covering sales, production and administration over six months. Availability and requirements differ for conversions and additional franchises.

Before opening, support includes training, access to proprietary manuals and operating procedures, and specifications for vehicles, equipment and supplies. Owners select their own office, subject to approval. Continuing assistance includes technical information and support through telephone and online channels, plus marketing and advertising consultation. Additional training and continuing certification requirements may apply. An annual convention, if held, requires attendance and registration and travel costs. The brand’s training and support page provides an additional introduction to its programs.

PuroClean can appeal to an owner who wants to lead a hands-on service organization helping customers recover from property damage. Its restoration offering combines technical work, job coordination and relationship building with property owners and other referral sources. The Academy, operating manuals and continuing technical support give the business a defined framework, while the vehicle-and-office model supports service delivery at customer properties.

This is an active ownership model. An individual franchisee must directly supervise the business for at least 40 hours each business week and devote full-time effort to outside sales or hire an experienced outside salesperson. For an entity-owned business, an equity owner or partner must provide at least 40 hours of direct on-premises supervision. A fully trained manager may operate an additional franchise under the disclosed program. These responsibilities make the opportunity most relevant to buyers ready to lead a team, develop accounts and manage daily operations.
