Getting started

Do I need any experience?

No. Full hands-on and business training is included at no extra cost, and you'll spend a free day on the road with a local Fox owner before you decide anything. Many of our most successful owners came from completely different careers.

What's the time commitment?

Fox works best as a full-time business, but you choose your own hours and schedule. As your regular clients build, your weeks become predictable, and many owners choose to take Fridays off or be home for school pick-up.

How do I get started?

It starts with a free, no-pressure info call. From there you can come out for a free day on the road, review the agreement up front, and decide in your own time. See the full process on our How It Works page.

Cost & finance

How much does it really cost?

The complete setup — territory, fully-branded trailer, commercial equipment, starter pack and training — is valued at $38,800. You can pay in full ($36,800 upfront) or part-finance. Full details are on our Investment page.

Are finance options available?

Yes. You can part-finance the trailer and equipment through Fox's approved lending partner, subject to approval. You will generally need a stable work history and a reasonable credit profile.

What are the ongoing fees?

A flat $206.98 per week, which covers your franchise fee and the advertising that sends you leads. There are no lead fees, ever. Business insurance is separate, around $70–$220 per month.

Do you take a percentage of my income?

Never. You pay a flat weekly fee, not a cut of your turnover. The more you earn, the more you keep — all of it.

The work & the leads

Where do the leads come from?

Fox runs national and local advertising campaigns continuously and sends the resulting leads straight to your phone. The advertising is funded by the system, and you're never charged a lead fee.

What if I can't find enough work?

You get free, uncapped leads, and Fox guarantees up to $2,000/week in turnover for your first 6 months. If your jobs don't reach that, Fox pays the difference while you build your client base.

What services will I provide?

Lawn mowing and edging, garden maintenance and tidy-ups, hedging and pruning, mulching and more. As you grow you can offer additional garden services to your regular clients.

The guarantee, territory & term

How does the turnover guarantee actually work?

For your first 6 months, Fox guarantees up to $2,000 per week in turnover. If the work you complete doesn't reach that figure, Fox tops up the difference — so the risk sits with us, not you, while you get established.

How big is my territory?

Territories are large local areas of roughly 2,000 to 12,000 households, with unlimited service capacity. You work close to home with plenty of room to grow, and even add a second crew if you want to.

How long is the agreement?

The franchise term is 10 years, with an option to renew for a further 10 years at no additional franchise fee. You can also sell your franchise during the term.
