Market Partner (Territory Owner)

Independent Restoration Services (IRS – the good kind)
Location: Flexible, U.S. Markets ("First Who, Then Where" Model)

About the Company

Founded in 2018, Independent Restoration Services was built on a simple standard: treat every home like it belongs to your own family. What started as one location has grown to 25+ markets nationwide and scaled from $3M to $40M in revenue between 2021 and 2025.

IRS operates in the restoration industry, partnering with insurance carriers and homeowners to deliver five star service. The company provides centralized support including:

• National brand and SEO presence
• Google Guaranteed launch support
• Call center operations
• Xactimate estimating and insurance negotiation
• Shared back office infrastructure

The result: local owners focus on customers and growth while the platform handles the heavy administrative lift.

The Opportunity

This is not a franchise. It is a capital backed ownership model.

IRS provides:

• 100% of startup capital, typically $100K to $150K
• Van, equipment, working capital
• Brand, playbook, and operating systems
• Ongoing centralized support

In return, you receive:

• 30% equity ownership in your territory
• A profit share once startup capital and any early draws are repaid
• The ability to build and lead your own local business

Typical payback period on startup capital and draws: 6 to 9 months.

Long term goal per territory:

• ~$4.5M revenue target
• ~50% SDE margins
• 30% ownership of that profit pool

Job Duties

As a Market Partner, you are the local owner operator. You will:

• Build referral networks with plumbers, insurance agents, and property professionals
• Hire and manage your field team
• Ensure five star customer experience
• Oversee job execution and documentation
• Grow toward 10% market share in your territory

You are not building alone. A regional lead supports you, and centralized teams handle estimating, negotiations, call intake, and marketing infrastructure.

Compensation Structure

• No base salary
• 30% ownership in your territory
• Optional early monthly draws (typically $5K to $6K) against future profits
• Full profit participation after capital payback

This is a business ownership model with corporate backing, not a W2 management role.

Ideal Candidate

Backgrounds vary widely. Current partners include former trades professionals, corporate operators, and MBA graduates.

What matters most:

• Hunger for entrepreneurship
• Comfort with lean operations
• Gratitude and strong cultural fit
• Willingness to build relationships from scratch
• Resilience and long term ownership mindset

You do not need restoration experience. You do need the drive to build something meaningful.

Why This Role?

For entrepreneurs interested in ownership but hesitant to take on SBA debt, this model offers:

• Capital provided
• Proven playbook across 25+ markets
• Shared services that compress overhead
• Clear path to scale, including adjacent business opportunities

It is entrepreneurship with a launchpad instead of a cliff.

If you are exploring ETA, self funded search alternatives, or simply want ownership without buying an existing company, this opportunity is worth a conversation.
