With a $0 franchise fee, College Pro provides a three-year process to becoming a business owner: first, you run an owner-operator style business to develop skills; second, you act as an owner in a more independent role; and the third year puts you into a senior leadership role as owner of your business.

Franchise History

In 1971, as a student, Greig Clark started the company as a summer painting enterprise. He then studied the viability of a larger student franchise model through a business school project at Ivey Business School at Western University in London, Ontario, Canada. The idea was to provide the opportunity to foster and awaken the potential of student entrepreneurship, and deliver a service that a customer would accept from a student who is learning how to run a business. Today the company continues to build on the original business model in a contemporary marketplace with window cleaning and home services.
