the scorpion avantage

Thank you for your interest in our exciting Scorpion Protective Coatings business opportunity.
Once you’ve reviewed the enclosed information we think you’ll agree that Scorpion Protective
Coatings is one of the best business opportunities in Canada.
Truck bed lining programs often require an initial investment of $40,000 to $80,000. We can
put you in business in an exclusive territory, with an easy to apply and superior product that
can be used for far more than truck beds, for only $9,000! And, unlike other systems that can
take years to recoup your initial investment, your $9,000 includes product, equipment and
training, and can be recouped in as little as a few months.
Scorpion Coatings Canada (SCC) is one of Canada’s fastest growing truck bed lining companies.
In the USA there are over 1200 Scorpion dealers with new dealers being added all the time,
making Scorpion the fastest growing truck bed liner company in North America.
THE SCORPION AVANTAGE
 MORE MONEY FOR YOU. On sales of $500,000, you’d pay up to $35,000 to a traditional
franchisor, but you’d only pay SCC $1,800 ($150/mth). That’s an incredible savings, but it gets
better because on sales of $1,000,000 you’d still only pay us $1,800! That’s over $68,000 you’d
keep vs. paying to your Franchisor. This is the result of SCC unique flat, monthly fee. When you
work hard to increase your sales, you should reap the rewards. Our low flat, monthly fee has
increased once in our 14 year history with Scorpion.
 LOW COST ENTRY ALLOWS YOU TO RECOUP YOUR INVESTMENT QUICKLY. Competing
systems require initial investment of up to $50,000 (sometimes more) which can take years to
recoup. You can become an exclusive dealer of the #1 high-abuse Spray-in Coating ever produced
with an initial investment of only $9,000! That can be (and is often) recouped in weeks not years
and includes equipment, training (DVD) and enough product to spray 6-8 truck beds! You’ll enjoy
additional savings because:



Scorpion guns never wear out! There are no seals to give out, no heaters to fix, no filters
to change and no sensors to malfunction. Also, because there are no
hydro/mechanical/electrical technicians to maintain, just mix, pour and spray! We offer
an unmatched lifetime warranty on your spray gun!
Scorpion can be frozen during transport so, unlike every other competitor, costly heated
shipping is not required.
Scorpion has an indefinite shelf life.






Very little equipment is required to spray Scorpion. There are no hoses filled with
chemicals, no pumps/valves and most importantly, no downtime!
You’ll dramatically reduce your power bills by eliminating the need for barrel heaters
and agitators to run around the clock.
Smaller containers for ease of shipping and handling.
Competitors sell product in 55 gallon drums with a minimum 2 drum purchase which
ties up approximately $4,000.
DHL/Purolator ship Scorpion products.
Mix only what you need for each job.
 INCREDIBLE ROI POTENTIAL. You receive enough product to complete 10-12 truck beds (based
on 2 - 3 gallon applications.) That should generate up to$7,200 (@ $600/job) which would leave
only $1,800 of your initial investment to recoup. Based on $350 gross profit/job and 2 jobs/week,
your entire initial investment would be repaid in less than 8 weeks. With that type of ROI potential,
it’s easy to see why Scorpion is such a fantastic opportunity!
 EXCLUSIVE TERRITORY. As a Scorpion dealer you’ll receive an exclusive operating territory.
 HIGH QUALITY & LONG LASTING. Scorpion comes with a lifetime warranty which means it’s a
product you can depend on. Once applied (properly) comebacks are almost unheard of which
means you’re not wasting time and money redoing previous jobs.
 SAFE. Scorpion has very little Isocyanate's and low VOC's. Furthermore, Scorpion is applied at 2090 PSI so it does not require atomization to be applied which means in most places and unlike
competing products, you will not have to install/maintain a paint booth.
 EARN MORE BY GOING MOBILE. Scorpion is fully mobile with little additional requirements (just a
truck/trailer and 18cfm compressor or by using our new electric spray gun) Other systems require
massive amounts of 220 volt power, air hoods, etc. Scorpion is the only product approved for
mobile spraying in the State of California. Going mobile provides huge additional profit
opportunities such as; trailers, patios, decks, garages, stairs, boat decks, docks, wheel chair ramps,
driveways and more!
 UNMATCHED COLORS AND TEXTURES. Virtually any color is possible and all are UV stable!
That’s a huge advantage considering not all trucks are black or grey. Additionally, the array of
potential textures and finishes (smooth to rough; sparkle; marble, metallic finishes no other system
can produce and super traction for decks, patios, stairs, garages, marine applications and more)
open a world of revenue possibilities. Scorpion is the highest quality, most UV stable and cost
efficient color bed lining system in the world!
 CONVIENANT AND EFFICIENT. No need to load/unload/handle/store/ship 55 gallon, 600 pound
drums. Scorpion is packaged in easy to use 5 gallon disposable plastic pails so there’s no need for a
loading dock, a barrel truck, a forklift or to handle/warehouse huge drums of dangerous materials.
Also, Scorpion products take one hour to set so, unlike other products, you have time to pull tape.
There’s no need to waste time or money cutting the lines with razor knives or using expensive
piano wire tape to achieve the finished line.
 UNMATCHED VARIETY OF PRODUCT AND FLEXIBILTY MEANS MORE PROFIT FOR YOU!
 Scorpion can be applied to almost any substrate; steel, wood, concrete and more (usually
without priming!)
 Access to many different Scorpion products and programs including full automotive tint and
paint protection and, for no cost other than the product itself, over 20 other profit
generating products.
 There are no hoses to purge so you won’t have to bury the preceding color. That saves your
customers money which means more customers and profit for you!
 OTHER SCORPION ADVANTAGES!





Huge North American Dealer Network.
Humidity does not affect Scorpion during application.
Cross Canada distribution.
Scorpion is not as messy as other coatings so it won’t mist and coat everything in the area.
Scorpion’s “No Minimum Stock Level” policy means you buy only what you need. If you are
going to try to store Isocyanate you must ensure your barrels don’t get cold. Without a
“nitrogen blanket” on the open barrel problematic ISO crystals will develop.
 Scorpion can be applied over much larger humidity and temperature ranges than any other
lining system. For a high temperature, high pressure dealer such as Rhino, Linex, Permatech,
or others, cold temperatures are a significant issue and more often than not extra (costly)
measures must be taken. Also, other systems are extremely sensitive to moisture/humidity.
Air lines must be run through a dehydrator and in hot humid areas, even spray rooms need
to be dehydrated. Scorpion uses moisture as part of the curing process so it can be applied
between +2 Celsius and + 40 Celsius and in humidity as high as 95%.
 All products involving VOC’s are required to contain less than 2.8 pounds of VOC’s per
gallon. Scorpion has reduced VOC’s to less than ½ of the requirement while using negligible
amounts of isocyanates. For this reason as well as its class 2 fire rating, Scorpion is excluded
from the spray booth requirement (except in Ontario). The heavy use of isocyanates or
thinners to facilitate polyurethane cure time is very common, but Scorpion uses vastly
different technology, as a result it isn’t dependent on isocyanate or thinner evaporation. By
taking advantage of newer technology, Scorpion is helping their customers and workers
enjoy a safer work environment. Scorpion still encourages use of full face respirators.
 Scorpion is the only system which allows the use of aggregate or fillers. The introduction of
rubber granules, both in the product and on top of Scorpion, allows you to custom design
your application. Adding rubber crumb also reduces your per gallon costs. Livestock trailers,
boat decks, boat docks, non skid tread plates, service bodies, all have special traction needs.
You can address them – no one else can!

Alternative Scorpion profit opportunities:
One Gallon of Scorpion product will cover approximately 25-35 sq ft of surface (depending on the
substrate, ex, wood will absorb more product than metal or primed surfaces.) The approximate cost of a
gallon of Scorpion X02 product including color cost (average) and rubber crumb is approximately $55.00.
Using an average coverage rate of 25 sq ft, your cost would be approximately $2.20/sq ft. Factoring in
Duradeck (our only true competitor) charges $6.75/sq ft; if you charged $6.00/sq ft your gross profit
would be $3.80/sq ft. On a 200 sq ft residential deck (excluding railing removal if applicable and
assuming $440 for materials and $20 prep material costs), your profit for about 1 hours labor would be
$740.00.
What Our Dealers Say About Us
To Whom It May Concern:
We have been a Scorpion Dealer for approximately 15 years, and I personally have been involved in 12+
years as Body Shop Manager. We are responsible for the accessories at our dealership and find that the
Scorpion box liners are a good fit in our business plan. The Scorpion Liner is a premium liner and we can
turn around and sell it at a premium price. We find that if we prepare the box properly we have a product
with very little to no comeback issues. We have dealt with two problems; both have been related to
preparation of the box. We have the flexibility to up-sell the product with color matching, glitter
treatment, over-rail and we even spray decks at houses. Product is repairable which is a big feature in our
used vehicle department and in our body shop.
I recommend Scorpion Box Liners for their ease of application, very low comeback ratio, up-selling ability
and it is a premium box liner, few can compare.

From:
Anthony Quinn
My name is Anthony Quinn. I own TARGET RUBBER COATINGS in Beaverlodge, Alberta. I have been with
Scorpion Canada since ’98. Scorpion’s XO-2 rubber spray is the most versatile product out there. I know
because I’ve been doing things with this product that aren’t easily done buy the competition. I make it my
business to check out the competition and what they have to offer. They don’t come close to what you can
do with this product. In this area oil and gas, logging and agriculture are very abundant, that means heavily
abused vehicles. What I find with Scorpion box liners for example is that they have more of a rubber
texture, that means when your bouncing down a rough road and you have a 500lb slip tank in the back full
of fuel, customers say the tank never moves, full or empty. Gravel roads are another problem face with
many in this area, a customer came to me with a truck that was rock chipped down to the core metal that
was after 25,000km. We sprayed the rocker panel [color matched] and the truck is still rolling with over
150,000km, no problem. Yes, the competition does spray rocker panels but to achieve color match they
paint the rocker panel spray, with Scorpion you add the vehicle color tint to the product you spray, so on
these roads up here when the gravel has chipped away at the competitors painted product, I’ve seen it and
it hasn’t been pretty! What I really like about this product is the variations of texture, I’ve sprayed this stuff
glass smooth [self level affect fills in the imperfections on patio decks] and I’ve sprayed this very rough for
ultimate traction. Like I said after what I’ve done with this product design, colors, etc, etc,] and what the
completion has to offer there is no way they can compete.
We began using Scorpion Coatings spray-on liner in the beginning of 2009. Not knowing what to expect we
had few expectations. However with the low start-up costs the trial costs were inconsequential. What
started as a trial quickly turned into a major development of our products. Customers immediately took
notice of the quality of the product and the improvement to our already quality finish. Within months
customers demanded all our products come standard with the Scorpion Coatings lining. Combined with
the great customer response, we also had a great reduction in warranty claims regarding paint finish. The
Scorpion Coating eliminated all claims that originated from areas of the trailer that were commonly
subjected to abrasion. Over time we have developed a process to apply on average of only $20 of product
and only 60 minutes of labor per trailer to eliminate paint warranty, increase sales and produce a superior
product on the market.

* Canadian franchises sell over $100 billion
worth of products and services every year,
making Canada the second largest franchise
market in the world (after the U.S.)
o There are over 1,000 franchise systems
operating in Canada, representing almost
76,000 franchise system outlets.
Thinking of a franchise,
think about this …
o More than 4,300 new franchise outlets
open in Canada each year – every two hours,
every day.
o
The average franchise fee is $25,000.
o The average franchisee investment in
Canada is between $150,000 and $200,000.
o A record 1.5 million Canadians are
employed by franchise operations.
o 92% of new franchises pass the critical first
five years – a rate nearly four times higher than
independent businesses.
o 86% of the franchisees opened in Canada
within the last five years are still under the
same ownership.
o In the restaurant sector, 35% of all sales are
from franchise operations.
o In the retail sector, 45% of all sales are from
franchise operations.
o The fastest growing demographic of
franchise buyers is women.
o The 1-Minute Franchise Finder
(www.1minutefranchisefinder.com) represents
the first application of “next generation, rich
Internet” technology in the global franchise
market. As a result, it’s now faster and easier to
buy a franchise in Canada (from anywhere in
the world) than it is to buy a home.
Although there are most than ten good reasons to invest in a
franchise opportunity, your decision to go into business has a lot to
do with lifestyle and financial benefits. Whether a home-based
service, retail, or fast-food opportunity, franchising is one of safest,
dynamic, and progressive business concepts you can invest in.
1. A Springboard to Entrepreneurship
Buying a franchise allows you to become an entrepreneur in less
time, limiting the multiple barriers first-time business owners would
face. Essentially, you are buying a “business in a box” – a turnkey
operation that has been designed, tested, and proven by a team of
industry experts. By simply paying the fees and costs involved and
following the designated training program, your entry to
entrepreneurship is instantly satisfied.
2. A Safe Investment Decision
The failure rate of franchises is much lower than starting an
independent business. Franchises are a safer investment because as
the “system” grows, so sho0uld the security and strength of the
infrastructure. To support this growth, the franchisor continues to
add newer and more effective methods of improving the concept. A
large franchise system usually means that brand recognition had
reached widespread proportions, thereby increasing your revenue
potential.
6. Ongoing Training and Franchisor Support
The initial training program offered by franchisors is a key selling
feature which franchisee prospects should examine thoroughly
prior to signing the franchise agreement. This initial training
involves head office and/or an in-outlet training session, which
includes an operations manual. Ongoing training allows franchisees
to grow within the system and develop strong business operating
skills.
7. Opportunity Training and Franchisor Support
Successful franchisees in any system are rewarded with
advancement within the chain by receiving incentives on the
purchase of additional outlets, leadership roles at the head office
level, and an opportunity to acquire area developer rights or a
master franchise – a role involving the overseeing and development
of the system in a designated geographical area.
8. A Variety of Investment Levels
You don’t have to be rich to buy a franchise or require an extensive
net worth to qualify. You can find franchise opportunities for as
little as a few thousand dollars that can be operated from home or
on a part-time basis. The best place to begin your search is at one of
many franchise directories available online that list thousands of
franchises, in all categories and investment levels.
3. Enhanced Lifestyle
9. Professional Development
Many franchises have claimed that franchising has allowed them
lifestyle flexibilities that conventional employment cannot offer.
The number one lifestyle perk continues to be the opportunity to
spend more time with family, followed by an enhanced income.
Franchises have felt a greater sense of pride, financial
accomplishment, and personal success as members of a successful
franchise concept.
Becoming a franchisee does not lessen one’s entrepreneurial role
and position. Progressive franchise systems provide its outlet
owners with access to professional development and leadership
seminars, business coaching, and other industry advancement
initiatives. With a larger support network at arm’s reach,
franchisees are business owners with advanced knowledge in small
business affairs.
4. Governmental Protection and Safeguarding
10. Buying Into a Start-Up Franchise System
Franchising is a regulated industry overseen by a number of federal
level organizations in the United States and Canada. The disclosure
document, of UFOC, outlines 23 key areas that each franchisor is
required to disclose to franchise prospects in order to make an
informed decision about the opportunity.
Buying into a start-up franchise system can involve some financial
risk and operational challenges, yet the long-term rewards 0
especially financial - is a reason to consider investing in a groundfloor opportunity. Pioneer franchising relies on the innovations,
ideas, and determination of the “start group” of franchisees to
assist in the growth and development of the system. New
franchisors typically offer its starter group with investment
incentives such as a reduced franchise fee and a royalty-free period.
5. Quicker and Easier Access to Financing
Through such organizations as the SBA, securing franchise financing
has become a streamlined process, involving less red tape and
paperwork. Some larger franchise systems even provide in-house
financing and/or leasing options. Local or regional small business
organizations across the country have designated franchise funding
programs, providing additional assistance to women, the disabled
and visible minorities.
