Run Salt Coast.
The brand is built. The website ranks. The systems quote, schedule and invoice. What Salt Coast doesn't have yet is the painter who will run it. Guaranteed wage from day one, real equity as it grows, and a coastal business under your feet instead of a leap of faith.
Not wages. Not a franchise. A partnership.
Stay on wages and you build someone else's asset. Go out alone and you bet the house on learning marketing, systems and sales while you paint. Buy a franchise and you pay for the privilege of both.
This is the third path. Exit Forward funds the business and carries the risk. You run the work and earn a meaningful stake as it grows. A guaranteed wage from day one, because a partnership you can't pay your mortgage on isn't one.
You're standing in the business.
This isn't a pitch deck. The website you're on is the machine that feeds the business: coastal maintenance guides built to own the questions homeowners actually ask, suburb pages from Dawesville to Two Rocks, and a recurring-care model that turns one job into a client for years.
Salt Coast isn't a painting business with a nice logo. It's a coastal property care brand: painting, washing, salt damage, rust, decks, and the maintenance plans that keep clients coming back. Have a look around. You'd be running it.
Everything but the excuses.
- Startup capital: van, gear and kit, funded
- The brand you are looking at right now
- A website built to rank up and down the corridor
- Quoting, scheduling and invoicing handled for you
- Marketing and lead generation already running
- Experienced operators in your corner, not over your shoulder
The person, not just the ticket
Qualified painter
Trade-qualified with real hours on coastal homes, and proof you can run a job end to end: quote, sequence, deliver, hand over.
Runs the work
You have led jobs and small crews before. Clients trust you on site, and the standard does not slip when nobody is watching.
Licensed and ready
Current Australian driver’s licence and Construction Induction (White Card). Registered, insurable, ready to start.
Builder’s head, tradie’s hands
Entrepreneurial enough to want your name on a business. Pragmatic enough to know a wage and a system beat a leap of faith.
Four steps. No surprises.
