Own a Richard’s Painting Franchise in Wilmington, NC
Start-Up Description
Richard’s Painting is expanding into the Wilmington market and is looking for the right owner to build and lead a locally owned painting company.
Founded in 1999, Richard’s Painting brings more than 25 years of real painting-industry experience. Franchise owners receive an established brand, protected territory, hands-on training, marketing guidance, ongoing coaching and access to RPX, our proprietary system for creating and managing estimates, customers and jobs.
Our business model serves residential and commercial customers while operating with trained employees rather than subcontracted painting crews. Owners can begin as a home-based business with relatively low overhead and grow their team as sales increase.
You do not need to be a professional painter. You do need to be actively involved, comfortable working with customers, prepared to lead employees and willing to follow an established system. This is not designed as a passive investment during the startup stage.
The initial franchise fee is $39,950. Qualified candidates may be eligible for franchisor financing of $19,950 of the franchise fee with a $20,000 down payment, subject to approval and the terms contained in the current Franchise Disclosure Document.
The estimated total initial investment is $60,150–$117,500. We are seeking candidates with at least $50,000 in available liquid capital so they can properly establish and operate the business.
We are looking for a dependable, properly capitalized owner who wants to build a respected local company, become involved in the Wilmington community and create a long-term business for themselves and their family.
The strongest candidates want to build a company—not simply create a painting job for themselves. They are comfortable selling, hiring and leading employees, following an established system and potentially developing multiple crews or territories over time.

About the Business
- Facilities & Assets
- This is a home-based business and does not require a retail storefront. Franchise owners receive a protected territory, access to the Richard’s Painting brand, RPX software, operating systems, training and marketing resources. The owner will establish their own local operation, including a branded vehicle, equipment and required business accounts. No existing revenue, customer accounts or physical location are included.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- The Wilmington area continues to experience residential growth, population movement and new-home development. The market includes established neighborhoods, growing suburban communities, coastal properties, rental properties, businesses and an active real estate industry.
These conditions create opportunities for interior and exterior painting, cabinet painting, property-maintenance painting and other related services.
The local painting industry remains fragmented, with many smaller independent operators competing primarily on price. Richard’s Painting is positioned around an organized customer experience, trained employees, clear communication, professional systems and consistent local branding.
The selected franchise owner will receive a protected territory and will be expected to build relationships with homeowners, real estate professionals, property managers, community organizations and local businesses.
