Is This the Right Opportunity for You?

College Pro is built for people ready to lead, grow, and create lasting equity. It doesn’t matter if you’re stepping into business ownership for the first time, ready to stop building someone else’s future, or returning to a brand you already know.

You’ve always wanted to own a business
You’ve always wanted to own a business.

You’re ambitious, driven, and ready to take control of your future, but starting from scratch can feel like a leap into the unknown. You want the freedom of ownership with the confidence of a proven model.

College Pro gives you the systems, coaching, brand strength, and support structure to build your first business with clarity and confidence. This is where high performers take everything they’ve built for others and build it for themselves.

Headshot for experienced operator exploring ownership
You’ve been in business, but not the owner.

You know how to lead teams, drive results, and grow revenue, but you’ve spent enough time building someone else’s business. Now, you’re ready to build your own.

You need the infrastructure of a proven model with a great culture, not a leap into the dark, and the income and equity that comes with leading your own territory. You want the numbers, the support structure, and a clear path forward. This is where that can start for you.

Built for People Ready to Own

Our franchise partners are leaders. They’re coachable, growth-minded, and ready to build something that compounds, financially, professionally, and personally. They want more than income. They want ownership, equity, and the opportunity to become a Professional Entrepreneur in their local market.

A Growing Market. A Trusted Brand. A Territory You Can Build.

The exterior home services market represents a multi-billion dollar opportunity in Canada, part of a North American home improvement market valued at over $300 billion, with continued year-over-year growth and no dominant national brand. We have five recession-resistant services, year-round revenue, and a territory with customers already waiting.

The Market Opportunity

The exterior building cleaning market is forecast to grow at nearly 6% annually through 2033 and remains highly fragmented, with no clear national leader. There is no equivalent of a household name in this space, no brand that homeowners think of first when a window needs cleaning, or gutters need clearing. College Pro is building that brand. Our franchise partners are the people who own it, market by market.

Five services. Year-round revenue.

  • Window Cleaning A high-repeat, high-margin service that drives recurring revenue during the spring and fall seasons.
  • Gutter Cleaning A natural cross-sell opportunity that increases average job value on existing customer visits.
  • Pressure Washing A strong seasonal service that supports new customer acquisition from spring through summer.
  • Siding Cleaning An additional revenue stream that helps maximize the value of each customer visit.
  • Christmas Lighting A seasonal service that extends revenue from November through January, when many competitors slow down.

An Exclusive Territory

Every franchise partner receives an exclusive protected territory. In many markets, that also includes access to an existing customer base already familiar with the College Pro name.

That means you’re not starting from zero.

You’re stepping into a business with brand recognition, repeat-customer potential, and a foundation you can grow. While many franchise systems expect you to build entirely from scratch, College Pro is designed to help you start with momentum.

Other franchises sell you a system. We build Professional Entrepreneurs.

What is CP EDGE?

CP EDGE is College Pro's proprietary entrepreneurial development platform that lives inside our franchise system. It has been stress tested, is AI-enhanced, continuous, and built around one objective: developing the management discipline and entrepreneurial problem-solving that define a Professional Entrepreneur.

Entrepreneurial

Ownership mindset, customer instincts, and market-building capability.

Development

Leadership growth, team building, and coaching culture.

Growth

Revenue systems, operational scale, and financial discipline.

Equity

Long-term value, territory ownership, and enterprise growth that you can eventually sell.

How It's Delivered

CP EDGE is not a training manual. It is not onboarding. It is an ongoing development infrastructure that has been stress tested and will continually adapt. EDGE is embedded in your regular support from your coach, group sessions delivered throughout the year, and AI-enhanced coaching tools that give you real-time feedback on where you are building and where you are stalling.

Beyond fees and royalties

We have an evolved vision of modern franchising that includes building yourself as you build the business. Every franchise has fees, and those fees give you brand access, and operating systems. College Pro gives you that and more. CP EDGE is designed to help you build the capability to lead teams, grow revenue, and create long-term enterprise value. The Professional Entrepreneurs who come through CP EDGE don’t just build strong territories. They build the skills to lead, scale, and succeed far beyond.

“At College Pro, you don’t just build a business. You build yourself.”

Financial Performance

We do not publish revenue projections outside of our Franchise Disclosure Document — and we will not speculate. What we will do is walk you through our Item 19 data in full during the discovery process: historical performance data from active franchise partners, by market and service mix. You will speak directly with current partners before making any decision.

Financing

College Pro offers in-house financing in select cases. We also work with third-party lenders familiar with the franchise model. If capital is a question, bring it to your first call. We have helped partners find a path forward more often than not.

Henry Bordian

"They were very good at taking someone with no experience to the next level. I won Rookie of the Year in my first year — only one person in the company gets it. Starting up can always be a little tricky in the first year, but it does get easier."

Alexander Doerksen

"Once you trust your people and find those who do a great job, it changes the entire game. You're always in control of your own time — you're building something you own, something you can sell. Listen to your coach's instructions, because they know best, and they've done it before."

Peter Doerksen

"I was a bartender — and now I run a scaled business with freedom of time. College Pro is a fast track into getting to that place because they do such a good job of coaching and teaching all the way through. If running a business is what you see yourself doing, just take the leap."
