The Opportunity

Potholes are everywhere! Without even considering the amount of paved roads in the US and parking lots at government, commercial, industrial, institutional, and retail facilities, the opportunity for B Pothole FREE is immense – almost indefinable.

How does B Pothole FREE Take Advantage of the Opportunity?

Until now, repairing potholes with conventional methods required the removal of old asphalt and replacement with new asphalt, at great expense to the environment and one’s budget. A typical 3’ x 3’ cut-and-remove asphalt repair takes about three or four laborers and more than an hour of work using a pavement saw to cut a straight edge around the damaged area, a jack hammer to break up the existing pavement, shovels to excavate material, a truck - to remove excavated material and to carry fresh asphalt - and a trailer with roller to compact the repair. It also requires enough new asphalt to replace all the excavated material.

B Pothole FREE’s patented infrared technology reduces repair time, laborers required, rejuvenates and recycles the old asphalt, and saves on material costs. In addition, infrared asphalt repair has no seams for water and ice to penetrate, enabling it to withstand weathering and traffic much longer than conventional repairs. It’s a clean, green, money-making machine.

About our Franchises

Our franchise territories are home based and range in size. A typical franchise is within one county with a population of 1,000,000 people. Depending on location, the territory may be more than one county or less than one county.

Potholes exist everywhere, but are most prevalent in the parts of the country with changing weather conditions such as cold to hot and rainy to dry weather. In the Southern states, the hot weather and rain bring out the potholes. In the Northern states, the cold to warm with rain and snow conditions bring out even more pothole repair opportunities. Over the next few years, we see our growth opportunities to be in major metropolitan and surrounding areas throughout the US and Canada. To ensure our core values remain intact throughout our franchise system, we will carefully select our franchise locations and partners.
