Meet Your Team at America’s #1 Pool Cleaning Business for Sale

Stewart Vernon founded America’s Swimming Pool Company in 2002. He started the company to provide his hometown of Macon, Georgia, with a higher quality swimming pool service company. With rapid growth and success, Vernon knew it was time to expand his business model and create a franchise model. It was in 2005 that Vernon sold his first two franchises after developing a fail-proof business model that gave entrepreneurs like himself a roadmap to follow for success. Today, there are more than 100 franchise owners throughout the United States. Buying a pool cleaning business for sale has never been so promising.

The ASP Goal for Franchise owners

America’s Swimming Pool Company carefully hand-selects its employees that share the ASP vision and goal. All of the team members have the same goal in mind: to create the best business they possibly can. The executives and trainers at the headquarters are there to guarantee that franchise owners achieve their goals, and then go on to exceed them. Thomas P. Swift, Jr., the Chief Operating Officer of America’s Swimming Pool Company, did exactly that. Swift purchased his first franchise with ASP back in 2006. After operating and growing his business exponentially, he sold it in 2009 to take on the role as the company’s COO.

This is who we’re going to go with.” No one jumps into this business without having full knowledge of what is expected of them and how to achieve their goals. At ASP, you are family. Your success is the only way that ASP succeeds.

When you join the ASP team, you will receive the addresses of residential and commercial properties with pools. There are 11 million pools throughout America and every pool needs to be serviced. Currently, only half of these pools receive professional service, which means there is plenty of room for growth. By making use of promotional materials, ASP owners can establish and grow their pool franchise immediately. Pool maintenance, cleaning, and repairs can eat up pool owner’s time quickly, leaving them with little time to play in their pool. After all, pools are built for fun and entertainment. If pool owners cannot enjoy the pool that they poured thousands of dollars into, what is the point of having one? ASP’s affordable service and repair pricing draws clients in and keeps them happy.
