All though we do not restrict you to using one supplier, we have set up preferred suppliers for our franchisees.
Our preferred supplier’s contracts are tendered out every 12 months. The reasoning behind this is that we want suppliers to fight to get the Jim’s Pest Control business.
When suppliers are looking at having access to all of our franchisees, they tend to offer some great benefits for our franchisees.
Our preferred suppliers often offer extended trading terms, in field help, training days. They will let us know about new products entering the market and have even been known to give samples to trial.
While we like franchisees to support our preferred suppliers, there is absolutely no obligation to do so.
