Introducing Inbervel – the business growth platform built for pest control professionals

Let’s be honest for a second – running a pest control business is not easy!

Most pest control business owners are technically strong, hardworking and committed to doing a good job for their customers. They know pests, they know treatments, they know service delivery, and they often go above and beyond to keep clients happy.

But that does not always mean the business is working as well as it should – and trying to understand your numbers and whether you’re being as profitable as you could or should be, can be hard to unravel.

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone – and it’s not because you’re doing it wrong. It’s because you’re running a small business in a trade that doesn’t always hand you the roadmap.

That’s exactly why Inbervel exists.

 

The Problem Nobody Talks About Loudly Enough

The pest control industry is full of talented, knowledgeable owner operators who are genuinely excellent at what they do. The problem isn’t skill – it’s structure.

Most small pest control businesses sit in what we call the busy trap – too busy to step back and look at what’s actually happening financially and strategically, but not yet at the scale where big enterprise software and consultancy feels justified. You know you need a proper CRM to manage customers properly. You know your invoicing and job costing could be sharper. You know there’s margin being left somewhere. You just don’t have the time, the budget, or honestly the headspace to tackle it.

The result? You grow in turnover but not always in profit. You add customers but not necessarily the right ones. You get bigger without always getting better.

That gap ; between where most pest control businesses are and where they could be , is exactly the gap Inbervel was built to close.

 

So, Who Are Inbervel?

Inbervel has been developed by John Dickson and Graham Clarke, both former directors of NBC Environment. John founded NBC with the support of The Prince’s Trust and built it from a small start-up into one of the UK’s largest and most successful independent pest control businesses, before the company was acquired by Rollins/Orkin.

That experience matters.

Inbervel is not theory from people who have never run a service business. It is built around the real challenges pest control operators face every day: pricing work properly, managing people, improving productivity, controlling costs, planning growth, protecting profit and finding time to work on the business rather than constantly being dragged back into the day-to-day.

The aim is simple: to help pest control businesses become stronger, more organised and more profitable – without making things complicated.

 

What Inbervel Actually Does for You:

Inbervel gives pest control businesses access to practical online tools that help them make better commercial decisions quickly and easily.

These tools are designed for real operators, not accountants or software experts. They are simple to use, written in plain language, and focused on producing useful outputs that can be acted on straight away.

Our Premium Membership includes online tools to support your business – some examples are:

• Job pricing: helping businesses quote work properly by considering labour, materials, travel, overhead recovery and target margin.
• Contract pricing (see example below) : helping operators price recurring work with greater confidence, including visit frequency, callout allowance, consumables and profit.
• Digital Job Sheets: Complete a form onsite from your mobile device and have it signed and emailed to the customer in real time; no CRM needed!
• Hourly rate calculations: helping owners understand what they really need to charge to cover costs and make the profit they require.
• Business planning and performance reviews: helping operators see where the business is today, where it could improve, and what actions should be taken next.

The point is not to drown people in data. The point is to give pest control business owners the type of information they need to make better decisions and be able to send documents to clients from the field.

 

Business Growth Programs powered by Profit-Pilot™

Inbervel also provides structured business growth programs designed specifically for owner-managed service businesses who want to take their business to the next level.

These are not traditional training courses, and they are not “guru” consultancy. They are practical business-building programs powered by Inbervel’s Profit-Pilot™ system.

Profit-Pilot™ guides users through a series of simple business questions and exercises, then helps turn the answers into meaningful analysis, recommendations, objectives and actions. Resulting in a comprehensive business plan to guide your business.

The Growth Program is designed to give business owners focus and direction. It helps them review where they are now, understand what is holding them back, identify opportunities to improve, and create a clear business plan that can be used to guide future decisions.

The Accelerate Program provides a more supported route, with regular guidance and advisor contact for businesses that want more help, more structure and more accountability as they grow.

Both programs are built to be practical, down to earth and relevant. The aim is to help business owners get clarity, take action and build a better business – not sit through hours of theory.

 

A Community That Gets It

One of the things pest control business owners tell us they miss most is someone to talk to who actually understands what it’s like – the pressures, the decisions, the juggling act.

Our community platform connects you with other operators at similar stages via the community platform and a dedicated Whats App group. so you can share experiences, get honest input, and stop feeling like you’re figuring it all out on your own. It’s not a forum full of noise. It’s a focused, professional network of pest control business owners who are all working towards the same thing: building something that genuinely works.

Straight talking, no fluff – and always grounded in the reality of running a real business in this industry.
