The Opportunity
A Business That’s All About Lifestyle.
Jim’s Mowing Franchisees tailor their businesses to fit their lifestyle goals perfectly. Are you looking to build a business with over a million dollars in revenue, or are you just looking to supplement your retirement income with a 6-figure income in 9 or 10 months while you spend your winters down south? Jim’s Mowing franchisees choose only the jobs they enjoy, set their own schedule and set their own prices. No business experience? You don’t need any. Bring your optimism and enthusiasm and we’ll provide all the systems and support you’ll need to be successful.
How Much Can I earn as a Jim’s Mowing Franchisee?
We have more than enough business for double the Franchisees we have now: in 2025 we turned away almost 25% of our customers because we didn’t have enough Franchisees to take all our leads. New Franchisees can take as much work as they want, wherever they want, whenever they want.
Set your own Prices
We believe in great value and fair pricing for our outstanding work and great service. Our Franchisees are always expected to price fairly, but because of our quality and service, training, insurance and Worksafe coverage, and because we always pay our employees fair wages, we are not usually the lowest-cost provider. Our goal is to always provide the best value, not the lowest prices. Our customers know they are getting the best value, and that’s why we’ve serviced over 100,000 customers in the past 29 years in Canada.
Our Core Demographics are really powerful
Every year more and more homeowners are willing to pay for professional lawn and garden care, especially our two core demographics: aging Baby Boomers who wish to stay in their homes into old age, and double income families with children who don’t have the will or time for household chores. As a Jim’s Mowing Franchisee, you’ll get the brand recognition, systems and support you’ll need to take advantage of these very lucrative demographic segments.
Choose your own Jobs
Hate going up ladders? Don’t. Love planting flowers and tending garden beds? Do more of that. Like building fences and decks, hardscaping, excavating? You get the idea…do more of what you love, none of what you don’t. Jim’s Mowing Franchisees have full autonomy to do only the jobs they enjoy. You’re the boss, so you might as well do what you enjoy.
What about the weather?
We work our schedules around the weather, and we almost never work in the heavy rain because it slows us down and that affects productivity and profitability.
What about the winter? For 4-6 weeks in January and February many of our franchisees take time off. How? They made more than enough money during the lawn and garden season.
Looking to generate income 12 months of the year? Strata, Christmas lights, and ice control and snow management contracts generate work 12 month of the year.
Fixed Franchise Fees
One of the greatest advantages of a Jim’s Mowing Franchise is the fixed franchise fee. We never charge a percentage of revenue. Not only does this mean you get to keep more of the money you earn, but it also delivers the greatest benefits of the Jim’s Mowing Franchise System: The relationship between Franchisee and Franchisor. Because we don’t charge a percentage of revenue, we never push you to work any more than you want to. Looking to build a small business to help cover your retirement income? We’ll help you do that. Looking to build a multi-unit million-dollar business? We can help you do that too.
Monthly Fees
- $825 a month franchise fee (Fixed – Not a percentage of revenue).
- $185 advertising fund. All the Franchisees pay into this fund every month so we can advertise the brand collectively and bring in new business. In 2025 we brought in over 9,000 new customers in BC (and we had to turn away over 2,000 of them because we didn’t have enough Franchisees).
- $20.00 per lead. When you need more customers, we will provide you with new leads. The first 50 leads for all new Franchisees are free.
