For the right profile, can be a great fit! I interviewed one of their franchisees a while back: redacted

The challenge with franchises is that you really have to evaluate what you’re getting for your franchise fee and royalty. I bought a restoration company franchise once. It was successful and I had a successful exit. But they did nothing for me and it wasn’t at all worth the royalty. I would have been better off paying someone to teach me the business and then go at it myself.
Certa Pro has been around a long time. If they are doing something valuable enough for you (sending leads, helping with staffing, etc) it may be worth it. They do have a good brand name.
