Someone who can learn when it’s time to learn, teach when it’s time to teach, follow when it’s time to follow and lead when it’s time to lead. We need individuals who enjoy working with people.

In what areas are you seeking franchises at this time?
Currently, we are concentrating on markets near our Charleston, SC base including Columbia and Savannah.

What are the costs involved in opening a Provata franchise?
We have included an initial investment Chart in this package that details the costs of opening a Provata franchise including the $32,000 initial franchise fee, we estimate it costs from $458,900 to $1,015.90 to open a Provata franchise. These figures include a $15,000 to $30,000 of working capital. You may be able to arrange financing for a significant portion of this initial investment. Sources of financing are local banking institutions, the SBA, and equipment financing companies. Estimated costs could be considerably lower if the proposed Provata site was formerly a restaurant with an exhaust hood, grease trap, bathrooms, etc. in place and meets Provata restaurant requirements.
