Franchise qualification
See whether you qualify for a protected Polar Tint territory.
This is a qualification form, not a brochure request. It asks what you have available to invest and what you have run before, because those two answers decide whether a real conversation makes sense for either of us. Two minutes. A person reads every one.
- Six revenue lines under one roof — automotive window tint, paint protection film, ceramic coating, commercial window film, residential window film, and wraps & print.
- A Designated Territory that is protected, not exclusive (FDD Item 12), mapped and written into your franchise agreement. While you are not in default, Polar Tint won't open or franchise another Polar Tint location inside it (FDD Item 12 lists the rights Polar Tint reserves).
- 40 hours of classroom training plus 25 hours of on-the-job training, delivered at our Henderson, NV HQ, virtually, or another location we designate.
- Listed in the SBA Franchise Directory (not an SBA endorsement) — relevant when you talk to a lender about financing.
- Built on shops operating since 2015 — the system comes from affiliate-owned Las Vegas shops that have operated since 2015 (as Pro Tint USA, rebranded to Polar Tint in 2024). Franchising began in 2025.

What you would actually be buying
The parts of this business that are written down.
Six revenue lines, one location
Automotive window tint, paint protection film, ceramic coating, commercial window film, residential window film, and wraps & print. Different customers, different seasons, the same install team and the same square footage.
A protected territory
Your Designated Territory is drawn around the site Polar Tint approves and written into the franchise agreement. It is protected but not exclusive: while your agreement is in effect and you are not in default, Polar Tint will not open or franchise another Polar Tint location inside it, subject to the rights it reserves (FDD Item 12).
65 hours of training
40 hours of classroom instruction, then 25 hours of on-the-job training, delivered at our Henderson, NV HQ, virtually, or another location we designate. Training terms are detailed in Item 11 of the FDD.
SBA Franchise Directory listed
Polar Tint appears in the U.S. Small Business Administration's Franchise Directory (not an SBA endorsement), which is the first thing many SBA lenders check when they review a franchise loan application.
Built on shops operating since 2015
The system is based on affiliate-owned Las Vegas shops that have operated since 2015 (as Pro Tint USA, rebranded to Polar Tint in 2024). FDD Item 1 describes those businesses as similar to the franchise being offered.
Straight talk
Who this tends to work for — and who it doesn't.
There is no single ideal candidate for an automotive franchise — the patterns below cover both sides, honestly.
Usually a fit
- You can fund the full initial investment disclosed in the FDD with capital that is genuinely available, not projected.
- You intend to run the location yourself, or to hire and manage a full-time operator you have already thought about.
- You are targeting a specific market and you are willing to hear that it is already awarded.
- You want a trade business with installers, inventory, and a shop — not a laptop business.
- You are a car enthusiast who wants that interest to drive a real business, not a weekend hobby — Polar Tint is a hands-on operating franchise you run yourself or manage closely.
Usually not a fit
- You are looking for something passive that runs without you.
- Your capital is contingent on selling something, raising something, or a partner who has not agreed yet.
- You want financial performance figures outside the FDD. Polar Tint’s financial performance representations are disclosed only in FDD Item 19, which covers the two affiliate-owned Las Vegas-area shops.
- You want the whole country. Territories are awarded one market at a time.
Submitting this form starts a conversation. It is not an application, it does not obligate you, and it does not obligate Polar Tint to award a territory. Any franchise offer is made only through a Franchise Disclosure Document delivered in accordance with applicable law.
