Become a FAIRchisee at American Hose Pro

The Path From Hose Pro to CEO

With American Hose Pro, the goal is simple: teach hardworking technicians how to become real business owners — not renters of a logo.

Years One and Two. You are an employee with a $52,000/year salary + benefits, and a 10% commission
Year Three. Your commission increases to 25% and you are now responsible for all expenses such as truck payment, gas, maintenance and promotional materials> Now you’re getting ready to graduate.
Year Four. You are a CEO! We will mentor and guide you to teach you how to operate the business side of this industry. You will have a Five year exclusivity contract with American Hose Pro.

Jim mentors you along the way, helps you build it right, and then steps back. After a set period of time, you can walk away owning everything — the name, the phone number, the customers, the operation. If you keep doing business with American Hose Pro, it’s because you want to, not because you’re locked into a contract.

On top of that, Jim built the Hose Pro to CEO program for techs who may not have money — but do have skill, grit, and experience. You start as an employee, make money while you learn, and get trained step-by-step on how to run and own a business.

This isn’t about Jim Lager getting rich on other people’s backs.

It’s about building a fair system where working people can actually get ahead.

No traps.

No lifetime royalties.

No corporate leash.

Just hard work, mentorship, and real ownership.

That’s the American Dream — done the right way.

FAIRCHISE vs FRANCHISE

TRADITIONAL FRANCHISE

You rent a business
Large upfront franchise fees
Ongoing royalties forever
Corporate rules control how you operate
You don’t own the name, phone number, or customers
Getting out is expensive or impossible
Franchise wins whether you do or not

AMERICAN HOSE PRO FAIRCHISE

You own your business
No lifetime royalties
You keep your customers, phone number, and operation
You can start small and grow at your pace
Mentorship instead of control
Exit clean and independent
You choose to keep working together — not forced

THE DIFFERENCE

Franchises create dependence.

Fairchise creates ownership.

Franchises protect the corporation.

Fairchise protects the worker.”
