Franchise Summary

Description
This Disclosure Document provides information regarding the operation of a Matco Distributorship. Matco is a manufacturer and distributor of professional quality mechanics’ tools and service equipment (the "Products"). If you enter into a Distributorship Agreement with Matco, you will purchase, resell, and service the Products, which currently consist of more than 15, 800 items, as a mobile distributor under the Matco System
Company Background
Matco Distributorship is a company that sells professional quality mechanics' tools and service equipment. If you enter into a distributorship agreement with Matco, you will purchase, resell, and service the products under the Matco system.
Franchise Opportunity
Becoming a mechanic is hard and takes years of training. Owning your own business can be an exciting way to earn money, but it also means taking on the responsibility for paying taxes and health insurance for yourself, as well as liability insurance for your customers. You will need to pay rent if you want a storefront or garage space, which can add up quickly depending on where you live. If you don't have enough cash flow from sales to cover overhead costs like these, then things can get very difficult very fast. Matco Distributorship offers a simpler way to make good money in this industry without all the hassle of being your own boss by selling tools out of your car trunk at gas stations around town or renting out extra room in your house/garage with Craigslist ads. We provide support through our national distribution center and each regional office has its own warehouse full of inventory that gets restocked every day so there's no waiting
