GUTTER GUARD CO PARTNERSHIP MODEL



MOTIVATED BUSINESS PARTNERS WANTED

 

Introducing the Gutter Guard Co 50/50 Partnership Opportunity

Looking for a business opportunity where you share both the risk and the rewards—without going it alone?

Gutter Guard Co (GGC) is now offering a true partnership model designed for motivated operators who want to own and grow a proven business with full marketing and operational support.

The Concept

Equal Ownership: You buy into the business and hold 50% ownership of a dedicated local Gutter Guard Co branch and receive 80% of the profit.

Shared Profits: All net profits are split 80/20, providing transparency and alignment.

Defined Roles. This is the model currently in place in Hobart.

You: Operations Partner – managing installations, quoting, and day-to-day service delivery.

GGC (John & Team): Marketing Partner – driving high-quality leads through SEO, paid ads, and proven digital systems, plus ongoing business mentorship.

Your investment

Buy-in Fee: Normally $34,500 + GST. For the right people who are looking to become business owners and change their lives we are offering a SPECIAL introductory price of: $24,500 + GST. Once we have our first three Partners on board the price wil return to the original $34,500 price. (current introductory price and entry price depends on the individual and their current position. Some might require less training and have tools and equipment in place already).

Price Includes:

• Full equipment package (ladders, tools, safety gear)
• Five days of hands-on training and business coaching
• Custom-built website, CRM setup, CMS setup, and branded materials
• Three-month marketing booster (SEO, Google Ads, Facebook Ads)
• All the Gutter Guard Co IP. This includes a full suite of Google Drive Documents such as; How to videos, training material, Safety Management System, marketing material, ad copy, systems and process, SOP's and more.

How It Works

1.   Leads & Marketing – We manage all SEO, Google Ads, Facebook campaigns, and CRM automation to keep a steady flow of qualified customers.

2.   Operations & Service – You handle quoting, installations, and customer relationships, ensuring exceptional service.

3.   Monthly Accounting – All revenue and expenses are tracked transparently. Net profit is split evenly—80% to you, 20% to GGC.

4.   Low Startup Costs: Most Franchise models charge over $50k to join, then charge ongoing monthly franchisee fees, marketing fees and admin fees.

This generally equates to 15-20% in profit. Then after 5 years, you need to pay a renewal fee, and you have zero ownership. Let that sink in. If you join a franchise, they are the owner as the franchisor. They dictate your territory and take their cut every month for simply providing you the model. With our model you are a partner. And a partner who gets everything a franchise offers, and you get ownership. This is true business ownership.

This structure allows you to focus on delivering quality work while benefiting from an established, high-performance marketing engine.

A High-Earning Business That’s Simple to Run

When most people think of a “simple” business, they picture lawn-mowing or cleaning. Those can be great ventures—but imagine earning in one day what many people don’t make in an entire week by supplying and installing gutter protection on homes and commercial buildings. And here’s the best part: it’s straightforward, with no back-breaking labour.

This isn’t “easy money” (nothing worthwhile is), but it is a simple business when you have the right system. With our tools, training, and proven methods:

●    Selling the service is a clear, step-by-step process.

●    Installation is outdoors but involves no heavy lifting, no special trade skills, and no expensive specialised equipment.

●    Most people can learn the entire installation process in just a few days and complete an average job in a single day.

A single typical job can earn you what many workers grind all week to achieve. And if you’d rather focus on sales, you can—hire installers and still make excellent money.

We’re Selective—for Good Reason

Our brand is known for professionalism, punctuality, and top-quality workmanship. We’re not looking for just “anyone with some cash.” We want the right people with the right mindset, strong morals and take pride in their work and output.

If you value quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction, we’d love to talk. If you don’t, this opportunity really isn’t for you.

 

Who We Are – Gutter Guard Co.

Gutter Guard Co. was founded in 2018 by John Ferguson, who recognised a clear gap in the market for quality workmanship and genuine customer service in the gutter-protection industry.

Since day one, our mission has been simple: deliver premium gutter protection systems with professional, reliable installation for both residential and commercial properties.

Our gutter guard solutions are designed to:

●    Keep leaves and debris out of gutters, ensuring water flows freely and reducing maintenance.

●    Extend the life of guttering systems, saving property owners on costly repairs.

●    Improve safety by removing the need for homeowners or maintenance staff to climb onto roofs—minimising the risk of ladder accidents.

●    Provide a bushfire-zone safeguard, stopping burning embers from settling in gutters and igniting debris.

●    Deter vermin such as birds, possums, snakes, mice, and rats from nesting in roof cavities.

●    Protect rainwater tanks, keeping collected water clean and free from contamination.

●    …and more specialised applications for unique property needs.

Today, Gutter Guard Co. stands for quality, professionalism, and lasting protection, helping property owners enjoy safer, cleaner, and low-maintenance homes and buildings across the region.

Why The Gutter Guard Industry?

The gutter-protection market is one of the most profitable and fast-growing segments in home and building maintenance—provided you understand how to run it professionally.

With the right system in place, a business owner can either handle installations personally or sub-contract the work and focus on sales, creating a scalable, high-margin model. Demand continues to climb for several key reasons:

●    Bushfire Regulations: An increasing number of councils require fire-rated gutter guard in designated bushfire-prone areas for new builds and, in some regions, for resale compliance.

●    Workplace Safety Laws: Changing Work Health & Safety standards now restrict building-maintenance staff from working at height. Property managers often prefer to install gutter guard rather than pay for repeated external cleaning.

●    Landlord & Insurance Requirements: Rental properties present liability risks if a tenant attempts to clean gutters and is injured. Savvy landlords and real-estate agencies are installing gutter protection to reduce risk, add value, and cut ongoing costs.

●    Broad Market Size: According to the most recent ABS housing data, Australia now has over 10 million dwellings, the vast majority with guttering systems—representing a huge and largely untapped market.

For entrepreneurs, these drivers make gutter protection a resilient, year-round business with strong profit potential and multiple revenue streams across residential, commercial, and strata properties.

WHY CHOOSE GUTTER GUARD CO?

Founder John Ferguson launched GGC in 2018 after seeing a clear gap in the market for a family-friendly, high-quality, service-driven gutter-protection business. Drawing on years of marketing, operations, and growth strategy experience, John designed a complete, systemised model so new partners can hit the ground running.

Why It Works

This investment gives you a complete, systemised business with proven tools, processes, and marketing support, allowing you to focus on earning revenue and growing your business, rather than building everything from scratch.

ONGOING FEES FOR OPERATING YOUR BUSINESS

Some ongoing operational expenses:

• Google Ads and Facebook Ad Spend
• SEO and Website optimisation
• Marketing campaign monitoring and performance reporting
• Pipeline software and operational tools
• Xero
• Relevant Insurances
• Accounting Costs
• Contractor Rates
• Phone, Email, Google Workspace
• Vehicle Related Expenses

Why This Is Different

When you buy into a traditional franchise or business, these marketing, software, and administrative costs are usually added on top of high franchise fees or royalties—increasing your business operating expenses significantly.

Gutter Guard Co has developed a system and model that excludes any ongoing franchise fees or royalties. This means:

●    Your profits aren’t reduced by hidden percentages or fees.

●    You retain full control of your revenue while benefiting from professional, ongoing support.

●    The more successful your business becomes, the more money stays in your pocket.

At GGC, we believe a business should reward your effort, not the franchisor, which is why a partnership model works well.

 

YOUR RETURN ON INVESTMENT

The single biggest factor in the level of success you achieve in this business is you. Every licensee is different, and while we provide a proven system, a recognised brand, and all the tools, training, and ongoing support you need, your results ultimately depend on your diligence, commitment, and drive.

Think of it this way: if you spend your days inactive or unmotivated, your success will reflect that. Conversely, those who put in the effort, follow the system, and actively grow their business reap the rewards—and the potential returns are generous.

Self-motivation is critical in any business. Setting realistic goals, taking consistent action, and staying focused are the keys to long-term growth and profitability.

At Gutter Guard Co, we don’t just hand you a system and leave you to figure it out. We work side-by-side with you to help you achieve your goals through:

●    One-on-one business coaching and mentoring

●    Guidance on marketing, sales, and operations

●    Support to help you scale your business efficiently

We’ll also discuss expected returns in your area and share what other GGC partners are currently achieving, so you have a clear picture of your potential from day one.

With the right effort and focus, your business can deliver substantial income, flexibility, and the satisfaction of running a thriving, professional business.

IS THIS FOR YOU?

We are selective about who joins Gutter Guard Co. This opportunity is not for everyone—and we want to be upfront about that. Many other business opportunities will take anyone with a heartbeat and some money; we don’t operate that way.

We have built a highly professional, reputable business with a strong brand, and we intend to maintain the highest standards in quality, reliability, and customer service. That means we do not want:

●    People who cut corners or leave jobs unfinished

●    People who aren’t willing to listen and follow a system that works

●    Anyone who doesn’t value professionalism and long-term reputation

If quality and reliability aren’t priorities for you, it’s best to explore another opportunity.

However, if you take pride in doing things right, enjoy building a business ethically, and are motivated to grow, we’d love to hear from you. From there, you may have the opportunity to become a GGC Partner.

The Type of Person We’re Looking For:

●    ETHICAL – Honest and trustworthy in all business dealings

●    Coachable & Open-Minded – Willing to learn new skills and embrace proven systems

●    People-Oriented – Enjoys interacting with customers and building relationships

●    Driven & Committed – Prepared to put in the effort to achieve results

●    Team Player – Works collaboratively so everyone benefits from shared success

●    Open to building the business through following a proven system and process

If this sounds like you, keep reading and see how Gutter Guard Co can provide a proven system, support, and tools to help you succeed.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How much money can I earn?

Your earnings directly reflect your commitment, effort, and how involved you want to be in the business. As a Gutter Guard Co licensee, you can choose to do all the work yourself or outsource installations. You set your own service prices, guided by our recommended pricing guide. We’ll also provide one-on-one discussions to give you realistic expectations for returns in your area and what we are currently achieving. Here are some figures based on the Hobart Gutter Guard Co Business.

YOUR POTENTIAL EARNINGS

• Average annual revenue for existing GGC partners: $200K–$300K per year
  Best year achieved close to $500K
  Operating costs: ~60% (can reduce to 35% if doing installations yourself)
  Take-home profit: ~$100K–$150K per year
  Time commitment: 10–15 hours/week after 6 months
• Flexible model: Start part-time, transition to full-time, or build a small team.

Will I be given a small territory like other franchises?

No. Your territory is unrestricted within your state, giving you ample earning potential. We suggest focusing on a 60 to 90-minute drive radius, which covers a strong customer base without excessive travel.

Will there be other Gutter Guard Co businesses near mine?

We avoid placing partners close to one another. In regional areas, you’ll typically be the only partner. In major capital cities, a few partners may service a larger area, but our focus is to have one partner per major City and let you become the number one Gutter Guard Business in your City.

What services can I promote as a Partner?

Core services include:

●    Gutter guard supply and installation

●    DIY supply for homeowners

●    Gutter cleaning services

●    Solar Panel Cleaning

●    Solar Panel Skirting

Some partners can also generate extra income through roof and gutter repairs, gutter replacements, skylights, whirlybirds, or other exterior services, either by outsourcing or earning commissions from specialists.

Do I sit at home and wait for leads?

No. You are responsible for generating your own leads through providing good service, networking with local agents, schools, builders etc. 

Part of joining Gutter Guard Co as a Partner, means we provide a proven marketing system, training, and strategies. We handle all the technical SEO and Ads Management for your local area, providing an ongoing lead machine through our digital marketing skills and experience in the Gutter Guard industry.

I already own a business. Can I still become a GGC Partner?

Yes, case by case. If your existing business complements ours—like roofing, plumbing, or exterior maintenance—a GGC partnership can add a lucrative revenue stream. Be aware that your GGC business may grow quickly and could overtake your current business in income.

Will my investment increase in value?

Yes. Like any successful business, a profitable GGC license becomes a valuable asset over time. If you follow the systems and procedures, then this could be sold for significantly more in the future.

What qualifications do I need?

You don’t need formal qualifications. The most important traits are:

●    Enthusiasm and passion for business

●    Ethical conduct and professionalism

●    Willingness to learn and follow our proven system

●    You will need working at heights certification (2-day course)

We provide all the training and support needed to run a successful business.

Is the gutter guard industry saturated?

No. There is significant opportunity in both residential and commercial sectors—virtually every building has gutters that require protection or maintenance.

Do I need to do the work myself?

No. The business is designed so you can outsource labour, freeing your time for sales, marketing, or personal flexibility.

Do I need to store a large range of stock?

No. You only order stock as needed for each job, meaning less upfront investment and no tied-up capital.

Where do I get my job materials from?

Everything is ordered through GGC headquarters and dispatched directly to your home, office, or job site—simple and hassle-free. Due to our large volume we have secured some of the best wholesale rates available.

Why buy into a Partnership Model when I could start a business myself?

You could start your own business. That's what I did. But it took me years of trial and error to finally build a business that allowed me to bring in consistent leads, develop systems and processes, build SOP's, implement a CRM and Lead management Software, understand core business operations, accounting and finance, and much, much more.

Starting from scratch is risky and it can take years to learn everything before you succeed, if you succeed. I am sure if you're reading htis you are familiar with the statistics for businesses failing. They are not very promising. Which is why so many people prefer to buy a franchise, rather than go it alone. We're offering you everything a franchise offers, without the hefty fees and restrictions. And a full ownership model.

By purchasing a GGC partnership, you get:

●    A proven system and brand

●    Comprehensive training and ongoing mentorship

●    Tools, templates, and marketing strategies

●    Support to hit the ground running without trial-and-error

●    A partner with a vested interest. If you don’t succeed, then I don’t succeed. I want to build up the business, so it brings in a high revenue stream and provides us with healthy profits.

Why should I become a Gutter Guard Co Partner?

Gutter Guard Co has been successfully operating since 2018 (Hobart operations) and continues to grow. The system is proven, professional, and scalable, and our management team has decades of experience in customer service, marketing, and business growth. We now offer this opportunity to ambitious individuals who want to run their own business with support of a strong brand and proven business model.
