Rapid Hose Franchise Cost and Requirements for 2024

Background

Rapid Hose is a B2B mobile van-based franchise for onsite hydraulic hose replacement. Rapid Hose provides a critical service to the construction, heavy equipment and manufacturing sector. Rapid Hose provides an accessible business model that empowers a mechanically inclined individual into business-ownership.

Rapid Hose has been operating in Texas since 2013. While we started small, with one van and our founder as a field technician, we grew (and grew based) on demand.

Our service-minded, franchisee owners and their trained technicians fill a very specific need, providing "emergency" repair for our customers. When hydraulic hoses break, our customers have to stop work and this costs them money - rapid repairs are essential to their business.

Our customers operate equipment in their every-day construction, manufacturing and industrial fields. Most often they have an emergency causing work to stop. They contact us to get back in operation and back in business.

Rapid Hose is a growing, and accessible business for mechanically-inclined individuals. Our franchise model is designed for owner operators with room to grow, adding service vans and technicians to better service customers. We offer supportive systems to help franchise owners provide a high quality, in-demand service. We envision a network for franchisees who work together to build the brand nationwide.
