Fast-Teks states that prospective partners need no technical experience. They instead look for franchisees with strong management skills and business acumen.

Benefits

Fast-Teks highlights their centralized call center as a key benefit of their business. The call center books in jobs on behalf of franchisees and operates seven days per week.

Fast-Teks also offers help with marketing and support, and provides on-site training for those involved with its business.

Fast-Teks’ franchise opportunity was voted as number 191 within Entrepreneur magazine’s “Franchise 500” in 2009, and was ranked number one in the technical category.
