OVERVIEW

Goodwins Business Brokers are delighted to present the opportunity to acquire an established and operational PestForce franchise covering Dundee and surrounding areas. First launched in 2020, the business has been developed by the current owner from the ground up, navigating the challenges of COVID-19 and building a stable foundation with recurring contract income, a professional reputation, and high-quality service delivery.

This is a ready-to-run business that would suit a hands-on operator looking to work within a proven and supportive franchise structure. PestForce is widely recognised across the UK and offers its franchisees access to branding, client management systems, technical support, and ongoing business development tools. This particular franchise territory benefits from exclusivity across the DD and KY postcode areas, providing substantial room for growth.

The business currently services a blend of domestic and commercial clients and is especially well-positioned for future expansion through increased marketing, the acquisition of new contracts, and potential diversification into higher-value pest control services. The owner is now pursuing other business interests and is seeking a committed buyer to take the reins of this growing operation.
