What started out as a two man operation, working in the garage of a rented house in 1985 has grown to a 200 location franchise chain, employing several thousand people across the US and Europe, and is the market leader in its service segment.  Aero Colours provides the same service that auto dealerships use to fix dings on cars in transit, and currently services over 300,000 cars across the country and overseas each year.

Aero Colours is expanding rapidly, as the market price of new cars drives sales to used vehicles for an ever expanding segment of the automotive market.  Used cars often need a paint touch up to command the best prices, and Aero Colours primary business relationship is with used car dealerships.  Secondary markets include any business that uses a fleet of identically painted vehicles, such as delivery services or taxicabs.

Aero Colours is considered the industry leader in paint repair technologies, with top of the line processes, and color matching abilities.  They provide extensive support to franchisees and training to staff on all of their state of the art equipment, with ongoing seminars, R&D programs to provide better services at reduced costs, and extensive marketing support.  On the franchise level, the company provides an 800- number that routes all service inquiries from your territory to your telephone, or routes to your location by cell phone.  Aero Colours is dedicated to providing support to its franchise partners, and this one of the services they give, to ensure you never miss out on business.

Each Aero Colours franchise has an exclusive territory, and usually comes with pre-developed leads and marketing opportunities.  The business can start out small, with a single manager/technician, and grow rapidly as you hire employees to run the rounds, vans to provide on site support and service, and expansion of business and acquisition of adjacent territories.

Aero Colours, as an owner-operated business, has several tax advantages, most of which can make your first year running the franchise be tax free. There are credits on new equipment (including vehicles) totaling up to $100,000, and a 50% bonus write off on new permanent gear; this means you can depreciate vans or shop equipment within the first year or two for significant tax savings; these benefits roll over when you expand your facilities as well.  On top of this are the usual tax benefits to running a small business, like treating office equipment and services (such as internet access and cell phone usage) as tax deductions.  Most continuing education also falls under this category, as does business related travel and entertainment expenses.
