Geeks On Call: A Smart Franchise Opportunity For Computer-Savvy Investors
National on-site computer service company dominates industry franchise market
With over 300 locations in 23 states across America, Geeks On Call franchise opportunities attract entrepreneurs from various backgrounds, including those without prior experience in computer repair.
Headquartered in Norfolk, Virginia, Geeks On Call was founded in 1999 and has grown to become America's premier provider for on-site computer service. Having begun franchising in 2001, this innovative new business is creating quite the stir among entrepreneurs. As customers see the company's trademark blue Chrysler PT Cruiser pulling into the driveway, they realize that help has arrived.
One of the most unique aspects of Geeks On Call is the fact that services are actually provided at the home or business of the client. For many franchise locations, same-day on-site support is one of the many benefits offered to customers. The company's impressive list of services, which include security and privacy solutions, repairs, installations and more, combined with fast service have made Geeks On Call a unique and customer-friendly franchise opportunity.
As every entrepreneur knows, it takes a great deal more than just a unique approach to be successful. When it comes to making sure their franchises withstand the test of time, Geeks On Call offers much more than just a service. Franchise owners will enjoy the benefits of being a part of a large network, but remain independent so that each may build a local customer base.

"Our franchise owners can do well with the right mentality, knowledge and a lot of hard work," says Matt Nelson, Communications Manager for Geeks On Call.

Potential Geeks On Call franchise owners can expect to pay a $25,000 franchise fee and an initial budget of $15,000 toward advertising, which will be followed by a $275 ongoing weekly payment after the first 90 days. Each new franchise will be required to purchase inventory, which will consist of supplies, equipment, uniforms, advertising materials and other expenses at an estimated $3,000 - $5,000 initial cost. Working capital, which is necessary for the purchase or lease of a vehicle, required permits and licenses, insurance, training and other expenses, is required and will vary according to the franchise location.
Once a franchise is approved, the owner will be able to take advantage of the Geeks On Call Business Builder Plan and will attend Geek University, which consists of a weeklong training program geared toward the education and training needed to remain successful within the franchise industry. Although no previous experience in computer repair is required, learning how to build a successful business from the ground up is an essential learning tool and is the reason for this short, but effective, program. When it comes to the computer repair aspect of business, franchise owners are permitted to hire a certified technician to handle the needs of each client.
As an added incentive to potential franchise owners, Geeks On Call offers financing assistance to those who request it.
