Business ownership has always been a part of the plan for Grygoriy Tolmachov.
But he knew he didn’t want to launch an entirely new concept on his own. That’s why he decided to explore franchising while earning his MBA.
He came across Fresh Coat, the leading residential painting company in the country. After learning about the brand’s services including residential and commercial painting, wood staining and refinishing and wallpaper removal, he applied to open his own franchise.
“Right off the bat, it clicked. The team at Fresh Coat has been instrumental in making my dream a reality,” said Tolmachov. “The support system in place makes all the difference. They’re incredibly responsive and have been with me every step of the way as I got my franchise off the ground.”
Tolmachov officially opened for business this summer, and it’s already seeing success. He notes that consumers are taking note of the brand’s commitment to quality and appreciates Fresh Coat’s ability to provide accurate estimates ahead of a project.
Fresh Coat currently boasts more than 120 successful units with many more territories available across the country. Initial investments for new franchisees typically range from $53,850 to $81,750, including a franchise fee.
