We’re passionate about the contractor referral business! With over 5,300 customers and a network of 57 stellar home improvement companies servicing the DC Metro area, Urban Referrals has proven to be the trusted resource for homeowners with home improvement and repair needs
After being approached many times over the years to sell our business plan or franchise our concept, we have developed a licensing package as a way to share our business model and tools with others. Our goal is to enable you to have a business you love and more control of your schedule while saving you the time, frustration and money that goes along with starting this type of business from scratch. For the right person(s), in the right geographic area, this can be a very rewarding venture!
Below are the four components of the package and a few details of what is included in each. Together, should we decide this package is a good fit for your goals, a more detailed list of what is included, along with pricing, will be provided
