Are you a good candidate to purchase a pool route and jump right into the pool service industry? It’s a fast-track method that many find popular and Scott Roberts from National Pool Route Sales (NPRS) will go over some reasons this may be a smart option for you. Buying a pool route is not like buying a business such as a fast-food restaurant or market per se and you are buying the income the route generates and not a physical business location. But it is much like a physical business since the business sales are what matters and not the physical location.

What exactly are you buying when your purchase a pool route? According to Scott Roberts, you are buying a steady monthly income. You are also buying a steady rate of return on your investment and typically you will get a return on the money There is no physical business unless the pool company for sale has a retail outlet which is not common. The purchase consists of pools on the service route for sale that is generating an income of some type. It is a little strange but a restraint with no customers and a physical location have no value and is a money loser. So don’t let not having a physical location deter you.
As Scott mentioned in the podcast NPRS does hold back money in escrow for 90 days so if you lose some accounts, not due to any errors or bad service practices, those accounts will be replaced or refunded. I am sure the guarantee is specific to situations out of your control and of course, you will have to contact NPRS for the full details. But since you are buying an income that income needs to be the same after 90 days. Again, this is a bit odd as you are not buying a physical business but the income from the pool route you purchase.
Is buying a pool route a good idea for you? I think several reasons are good to purchase one. Instant income. Seller training. A tight route. A well-established business. And the list goes on. There are some downsides as well. High cost of the route. Lack of experience. Unknowns and uncertainties of getting into a new industry. And the list here can go on here as well.
The bottom line is that if you don’t think you can build up a viable pool service route within a year, buying a route may be a good option. It is up to you to do the research in your area to see which option is best for you as every service area is different. I would contact Scott directly to talk about your options.
