before you evaluate it.

The opportunity

What exactly is being offered?

A defined Fairfax County market opportunity supported by an operating framework, training, equipment options, territory-development guidance and access to an established refinery buyer channel.

Are restaurant accounts already included?

The core opportunity is a launch platform. Buyers build their own restaurant accounts and recurring routes unless specific included accounts are identified in definitive materials.

How many territories are available?

Three Fairfax County markets are presented: West, North-Central and South-East. Availability is subject to qualification, reservation and final agreement.

Operations

How does the business generate revenue?

The operator collects used cooking oil, consolidates qualifying volume and sells it through an established refinery purchase channel. Results depend on gallons, route density, oil quality, operating costs and purchase terms.

How much oil is required for refinery coordination?

Bulk coordination commonly begins at approximately 6,000+ gallons in this model, subject to the applicable refinery arrangement.

What team may be needed?

A developing territory may use one collection driver, one route helper and one account-acquisition specialist. Staffing changes with scale.

What equipment may be included?

Depending on the package: a collection truck, pumping and transfer equipment, onboard tanks, service or sales vehicle, commercial containers, bulk storage, specialized tools and management systems.

What training is provided?

Training may cover account acquisition, container placement, safe collection, pumping, route planning, team hiring, customer service and territory scaling.

Economics and risk

Is refinery pricing guaranteed?

No. Recent pricing associated with this opportunity has ranged approximately $4.10–$4.75 per gallon, but pricing is subject to market conditions, quality, volume and purchase terms.

Is used cooking oil always free?

It can often be acquired at little or no material cost, but competitive conditions vary and some accounts may expect rebates or other terms.

Are customer counts, gallons or profit guaranteed?

No. Account acquisition, gallons, expenses, revenue and profitability depend on the operator and market conditions. Projections require independent due diligence.

What drives territory value?

Recurring accounts, gallons per stop, pickup frequency, short travel between accounts, operating cost per gallon, service quality and downstream acceptance.

Confidential process

What is in the confidential package?

Available materials may include territory boundaries and ZIP codes, equipment details, refinery purchase arrangement, gallon economics, estimated costs, staffing assumptions, projections and route-development strategy.

Why sign an NDA?

The package contains proprietary refinery, territory, financial and operational information. Confidentiality protects those relationships and methods.

Is proof of funds required?

RFS may request proof of funds before releasing sensitive information or advancing an acquisition discussion.
