About the Rapid Hose Franchise
Rapid Hose has been operating in Texas since 2013. While we started small, with one van and our founder as a field technician, we grew (and grew based) on demand.
Our service-minded franchise owners and their trained technicians fill a very specific need, providing emergency service for our customers. When hydraulic hoses break, our customers have to
stop work and this costs them money – rapid response is essential to their business.
Our customers operate equipment in their every-day construction, manufacturing and industrial fields. Most often they have an emergency causing work to stop. They contact us to get back in operation and back in business.
Rapid Hose is a growing, and accessible business for mechanically-inclined individuals. Our franchise model is designed for owner operators with room to grow, adding service vans and technicians to better service customers. We offer supportive systems to help franchise owners provide a high quality, in-demand service. We envision a network for franchisees who work together to build the brand nationwide.

Meet our Founders
Co-Founder
Operations, New Product Development & Training
Tiago founded Rapid Hose in 2013 after becoming discouraged at the status quo of the onsite hydraulic hose industry. After a particularly frustrating day, Tiago called his wife Kerri and stated he was “going to quit his job as an onsite field technician and start his own onsite hydraulic hose replacement company.” One year later, he started operating the first Rapid Hose van out of their garage with a used truck. As he continued to expand the business, Tiago has always been focused on a better and more innovative way to solve a problem. He continues to grow the company with a focus on innovation and technology. He is especially adept at inventory management, van optimization and technology to support the company and help its customers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Please email us if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Steps to Open
Are you seeking owner/operators or executive owners?
We want our owners to be actively involved as owners/operators. As you grow, you may add more technicians, additional service and move into a management role (this is how we grew our business).
Can I own more than one territory?
Yes. We believe some owners will operate multiple vans and expand into new territories. We offer discounts on initial franchise fees for owners who commit to a Multi-Unit Development Agreement.
Do I need a retail shop?
No. Your shop can be home-based for equipment and hose stock with only about 100 sf needed since the business is entirely mobile. You will service customers on-site where they need you.
How many employees are needed to operate the business?
Just you - or one trained technician - that is all you need to get started.
How long does it take to open?
You should be able to open in as few as 2 to 3 months, it just depends on how quickly you complete pre-opening steps and training.
What are the startup costs and what do they include?
Currently, $152,733 to $239,783 for one territory (the $50,000 initial franchise fee is included in the start up costs). This includes costs for equipment, pre-opening marketing, and 3-months of working capital.
How much will the business make in a year?
We will be able to share our Financial Performance Representation, called an Item 19, in our Franchise Disclosure Document which highlights affiliate performance and history. This can be a useful tool to help you evaluate your revenue potential.
Do you offer Financing?
We’ve partnered with Benetrends to help our Franchise Owner candidates secure funding and get going on their dream of entrepreneurship today! Benetrends allows qualifying franchise candidates to choose the small business financing option that fits their needs.
