14 years with Jim's Mowing: franchisee to franchisor - Interview with Jim's Mowing

Jim's Mowing franchisor Jason has invoiced anywhere from $50,000 to $600,000 in a single year across 14 years in the business.

This episode of the Jim's Mowing Podcast covers the questions every prospective franchisee asks: how much you earn, how many jobs come through, and what the whole thing costs.

Jason runs a regional franchisor territory in Canberra and raced as a professional triathlete before buying his own Jim's Mowing franchise.

You will hear why Jim's takes no percentage of your job income, how the $1,100 pay for work guarantee works and why he has never paid it out, and how he sold 80 regular clients for $80,000 on a payment plan.

Jason also breaks down startup costs of around $22,000 to $23,000 including training, leasing options under $150 a week, the 17 percent Stihl discount, and the equipment he tells new franchisees to skip at the start.

Start here if you are researching a Jim's Mowing franchise and want honest numbers instead of a sales pitch.
