WHY WE BUILT THIS PROGRAM
Hard work should build something you own.
We've built pool-service businesses ourselves. We know how hard it is to get started without the money, connections, or support.
Too many skilled people spend years building someone else's business because they don't have the resources to start their own.
We want to help change that.
We want to help people who know the work build something they own.
We're not looking for employees. We're looking for independent operators.
A business can become a valuable asset, but growth, resale value and success are not guaranteed.
What you're building
More than a job. A business of your own.
Build a route you can operate, grow into a team, and potentially sell or pass down.
01
Your pool skills
Start with the trade you know.
02
Your customers
Build recurring service accounts.
03
Your company
Develop systems and a team.
04
Your asset
One day, manage, sell, or pass it on.
Growth, resale value and profitability are not guaranteed.
Who we're looking for
Know the work. Ready for more?
We're not looking for investors. We're looking for people who know pools and want to build something of their own.

Advertising funded by Cannonball
Our advertising risk stays ours. If our ads fail, you never owe us reimbursement for that spend. We earn a share of qualifying revenue actually collected. A separate launch fee applies.
Built together. Owned by you.
One operator.
One approved territory.
We don't enroll competing Cannonball mentorship participants in your approved territory during the agreed term. That's why we choose carefully. We're looking for someone experienced, dependable and ready to do the work.
One operator.
One approved territory.
Real pool-business experience
We've built routes ourselves.
Mike and Patricia Barilla have operated pool-service businesses in San Diego and Las Vegas. We know what it takes to win customers, keep them, and manage the work behind the work.
Now we're helping a small number of qualified operators build routes of their own.
Straightforward terms
Know the commitment.
No mystery fees. No promises of overnight success.
$3,000
Launch fee
Six $500 monthly installments.
15%
Revenue share
On qualifying collected revenue from covered customers.
12 months
Initial term
12-month initial agreement for each selected operator.
The launch fee is separate from the revenue share. Cannonball-funded advertising is never reimbursable by the operator, including when ads fail. Advertising budgets are discretionary; no minimum spend, leads, customers, revenue, or profit is guaranteed. Territory exclusivity applies to enrollment of other Cannonball mentorship participants during the agreed term, not to independent competitors. Operators remain responsible for their own licensing, insurance, equipment, fieldwork, and working capital. The signed agreement controls.
