Discovery Call
We'll schedule a 60-minute call with our franchise development team. We'll walk you through the opportunity in detail, answer your questions, and get to know you. This is a two-way conversation: we're evaluating fit just as much as you are.
- 60-minute video or phone call

Things People Ask Us
Do I need painting experience?
Not at all. Our training covers everything you need to know.
How long does the full process take?
There are 7 steps: Apply → Discovery Call → Formal Interviews → Disclosure Document → Franchise Agreement → Training Program → Launch. You have at least 14 days between receiving our Franchise Disclosure Document and signing or paying anything. The formal interviews are an important part of the process: we take fit seriously on both sides.
What happens in the formal interviews?
After your discovery call, we hold in-depth interviews with our leadership team. We assess values alignment, business mindset, and mutual fit before moving forward. You'll also get honest feedback on your readiness. No surprises.

The initial franchise fee is $15,000, and the total initial investment is $82,500–$126,000 CAD (excl. HST), per Item 18 of our Franchise Disclosure Document. Ongoing: 6% royalty (a minimum applies), 2% brand fund, and at least 5% of gross sales on local marketing. We'll walk you through everything on your discovery call.
What territory will I get?
Territories are defined by population and market opportunity. We'll work with you to identify the best available territory in your area.
What ongoing support do I get?
1-on-1 coaching with a qualified Colour Craft coach, group coaching calls, marketing support, technology updates, and access to our franchisee community, all ongoing.
