Fill potholes, build business

Entrepreneur James Onufrak has filled his business, a franchise-based pothole repair company, with large growth potential.

Onufrak is president of B Pothole Free, which uses patented infrared technology imported from England to repair and fill potholes. Onufrak, who runs B Pothole Free with business partner Steve Alexander, says the low overhead for franchisees is the firm's competitive advantage. The franchise fee is $85,000, in addition to a $1,750 monthly lease fee and a $1,500 monthly royalty.

“We think it's a very strong franchise model,” Onufrak tells Coffee Talk. “And no other company in the franchise industry is doing this.”
