New City franchise…

a management franchise opportunity in the cleaning industry

New City is a national cleaning company that was originally launched in Telford, Shropshire in November 2000. We have grown from a very small company employing less than 5 staff members who primarily carried out showhome cleaning for housebuilders and property developers, to a rapidly growing operation with a team of over 80 cleaners handling a wide variety of contracts for commercial cleaning, in addition to the original core new home business.

How does the business work?

Just to make one thing clear, our franchisees are NOT cleaners; in fact our systems do not allow franchisees to handle any of the cleaning work themselves! The New City franchise is very much a management business. Our franchisees’ role is to build relationships with the clients, recruit and manage a team of cleaners, and ensure that our extremely high quality standards are met (or exceeded) by regular monitoring and management of the processes, providing feedback and responding to the needs of the client.

It is by following our carefully developed systems that we have managed to secure many high-level clients on a long-term basis, and it is by following these same systems that you will too!

We will handle marketing campaigns throughout your territory, and pass you the leads and responses which our campaigns generate. You will then follow these leads up using our carefully developed systems to maximise the opportunities, and from there the relationship with the clients becomes yours to nurture and develop.

Usually working from home you will run a small team of cleaners, perhaps only 3 or 4 initially, and as this team will be field-based much of your role will be to ensure that the systems and standards are being maintained by regular monitoring and client visits. As time goes on you will build a reputation for providing the highest quality of service in your area and – just as we did initially – you will find that referrals become an important source of new clients. As you get busier you may want to take on an Area Manager, and we will guide you through the steps to take this important decision, ultimately taking your business forward to the next level.

We will even remove one of the largest headaches for many new businesses, that of credit control and debt recovery. We will handle all invoicing and debtor management for you, leaving you free to concentrate on the more enjoyable (and more rewarding) aspects of building your business.

The Market

The UK commercial cleaning market is estimated to be worth £3 billion, and when you look around you’ll realise that every business, office block and public building needs regular cleaning, sometimes several times per week. As a direct result of this commercial cleaning is one of the UK’s fastest growing market sectors. If you then add to the mix our speciality areas of New Home cleaning and Show Home preparation you will have the opportunity to build a simple, easy to operate and tremendously profitable business of your own, whilst using our proven systems and strength of brand to ensure that once you gain a customer you not only keep them, but that they are happy to recommend you to other businesses just like theirs.

Accelerator franchise…driving business forward

Founded in 2003, Accelerator is the UK’s only one-stop-shop and fastest growing provider of business level hosted IT and Telecom Solutions to the SME market.

Accelerator is the 1st to offer a full range of business level hosted IT and Telecom services from one central supplier and in a local environment.

Accelerator is also the 1st to offer this type of business (Hosted IT and Telecoms) as a franchise.

With over 25 years experience in providing top quality managed IT and Telecoms services with unmatchable customer service and support, Accelerator franchise has grown to become a strong contender in the hosted services market.

We now want to give other business professionals the opportunity to leave the 9-5 and work for themselves. Accelerator head office and their franchisees use all the services they offer, making them their own success story, so they literally self-promote the portfolio as they offer it to others.

IT is changing – why time is right for an Accelerator franchise

Accelerator have turned IT on its head and deliver the latest hassle free technology and features in IT and telecom solutions (which large companies spend millions on), via a broadband connection for a small quarterly fee.

Fully supported, fully licensed, continuously updated and no large upfront costs for servers or other hardware, plus NO ongoing spiralling IT support costs…you can see why Accelerator is the preferred choice for many.

These are hassle free, business level, robust IT and telecom solutions that just work and come with a 99.9% guarantee or your money back. This enables individuals and employees to work more efficiently using Accelerator services that plug and play from any broadband connection in the world.

Accelerator's hosted services allow small businesses to compete more effectively, helping them to be more profitable. By outsourcing IT and telecoms it leaves the business owner more time to focus on what is core to their business and employees to be more efficient and effective. Treating IT like a utility is the future.

Kumon franchise...educating children throughout the UK

Kumon franchise is one of the market leading providers of after-school maths and English classes; providing supplementary education to over 54,000 children throughout the UK and Ireland. Working with Kumon franchise is a hands-on role where you are responsible for all areas of the business including the instruction of the students. Kumon encourages children to develop a daily study habit with children attending the study centre twice a week, which usually takes place in low cost rented space such as churches, schools and community centres.

During the start-up period we would be expecting a new Kumon franchise owner to be investing between £3,000 and £5,000 in their new franchise business. Kumon franchise owners are provided with all teaching material and thorough training in the delivery of the Kumon method. You will also receive substantial marketing support and professional development to help you grow and maintain your student numbers.

Instructs & inspire children

As a Kumon Instructor running your own after-school maths and English study centre, you would be part of a global community of Kumon franchise pwners stretching across 46 countries, including Japan, USA, and Australia. Kumon Instructors come from all different walks of life: from teachers and qualified tutors, to dedicated parents and successful business people. Many of our Instructors had never considered becoming a franchisee before they encountered Kumon. But what they all have in common is that they are responsible individuals, with a passion for education and a desire to help children grow and develop.

A Kumon Instructor’s key tasks:

Educating the children – setting work, motivating the students, providing study projections, maintaining study records and helping them realise their potential
Communicating Kumon values to potential and existing parents – conducting thorough enrolments, holding communication classes and being aware of parental involvement in the Kumon method
Marketing your study centre – promoting your centre and the service that Kumon offers in your local area
Managing your study centre– the day-to-day running of a business such as ordering stock and managing staff

What is the Kumon Method?

Toru Kumon developed the Kumon method of learning in Japan, in 1954. He found that children who learned, without being limited by the preconceptions of the teacher, by being given work that was at the ‘just right’ level for them, developed faster and further. By not limiting the potential of students, he was able to help children soar in their educational lives. More importantly, by giving these children long-term skills for learning, they succeeded in their adult lives as well.

Where is Kumon today?

There are currently over four million students studying the Kumon Method, and as each child goes through our programme, we ourselves continue to learn; ensuring that the method is always improving and growing with the children studying it.

Becoming a Kumon Instructor

At Kumon what we care about most is the children; we are looking for people who share our commitment to children’s learning. We are not looking to open short-term study centres, so you must be certain that you are looking for a long-term venture and have a desire to help as many children as possible achieve their potential.

We want to ensure you have all the information you need to make an informed choice about whether to take on a Kumon franchise so we offer a free, no obligation, Information Session. This is a presentation about Kumon: who we are, what we want to achieve and how we see ourselves achieving this. It is the initial step in assessing whether a Kumon franchise is the right option for you.

As an interested applicant, you will have the opportunity to have a one-to-one discussion with a member of the Kumon Franchise Recruitment Team to clarify any issues before progressing your application. Also at this time we will be talking through locations and potential venues for your study centre.

The security of the children is paramount and therefore our application process requires us to carry out a significant number of background checks including enhanced disclosure checks prior to being accepted on our training programmes. Any offer of further training or a franchise licence is subject to the relevant “clearance” on any of these checks.

About Equas SmartPro Ltd:

Equas SmartPro Ltd is the Franchisor and holder of certification for ISO9001:2008 and is an Associate Member of the British Franchise Association. Independently owned, the company commenced operations in 2002. The founding directors are majority shareholders and the key management of the company. With considerable franchising experience the directors strategy was to perfect ‘The System’ and prove the ‘Business Model’ prior to awarding franchises. All of these key objectives have been achieved.

To date, Equas SmartPro’s ‘ISO in a Box’ methodology has helped over 300 organisations to achieve full UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service) certification to ISO Standards and the company has acquired a first class reputation in the field of Quality and Environmental Management Systems (Q & EMS). 93% of our clients rate us ‘4 out of 4’ in Satisfaction Surveys. The company is committed to New Product Development. The ‘ISO in a Box’ concept has now been further developed to include ISO14001:2004 (Environmental), ISO18001:2007 (Health & Safety) and 2009 sees the launch of ‘ISO in a Box Activ’ a revolutionary new Web-Hosted version incorporating all three standards.

Following the success of an extended ‘Pilot Operation’ Equas SmartPro is now embarking upon the roll-out of its National Franchise Network.

What we do and the financial rewards:

Following the proven step-by-step system Equas SmartPro’s Franchisees guide clients through the process of achieving full UKAS Certification to the ISO Standard. The design and implementation process for ‘ISO in a Box’ typically takes 10-12 weeks involving 3 or 4 days at the client’s office and a similar number of days working off-site. This phasing of each project enables Franchisees to develop new business on an ongoing basis whilst maintaining an income stream from existing projects. The current average value per sale is £4,500 of which Franchisee earns up to 80%, with a minimum of 60%. Twenty projects per annum of this type can therefore return between £54,000 and £72,000 in gross income for the Franchisee.

The ‘ISO in a Box’ Franchise is currently available at £22,500 plus VAT.

What our clients say about us:

“We needed a Quality Management System in place within 6 weeks to comply with major customer requirements. ‘ISO in a Box’ was our saviour. Using this simplified, workable system, we gained Full UKAS ISO 9001 Certification within the specified period.”

David Marshall, Managing Director Marshall Drills Ltd Cheshire

The market and competition:

The target market for ‘ISO in a Box’ is SMEs. There are over 4 Million SMEs in the UK. A recent survey has shown that under 3% of these companies and organisations have ISO9001 Certification and even fewer have achieved the Environmental Standard ISO14001. Competition is limited principally to independent consultants and a small number of firms who supply and certify their own QMS versions. These versions do not fulfil the requirements of Full ISO Certification for United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS), the Government backed body that monitors and issues ISO certificates (www.ukas.com). There is no other provider offering the packaged simplicity of ‘ISO in a Box’ or the guarantee of compliance that Equas SmartPro delivers.

Franchisee profile:

You will be well organised and with a business background. It is not a requirement that you have previous ISO or quality management experience. Franchisees are required to become ISO Lead Auditor qualified and Equas SmartPro will provide guidance towards this. You will be able to network constructively, conduct effective sales and marketing activities to obtain new clients and see the full project through to completion. You will have the ability to manage the client base in order to maximise involvement with each client, build relationships and thereby develop a long-term income stream. Franchisees undergo a comprehensive training programme that covers product, marketing, sales, administration and project implementation.

What our franchisees say about us:

“After 26 years in HR and Retained Executive Recruitment I decided it was time for a change. I was confident that a B2B Franchise would best suit my skills and experience and there were many to choose from. It was refreshing to discover ‘ISO in a Box’, a Franchise that appeared to have a unique proposition combining my business consulting skills with a great opportunity for growth. Having contacted the Franchisor Equas SmartPro I found them to be very open and was impressed with the business model and income potential. Initial training was very comprehensive and the systems and ongoing support provided are excellent. After 9 months my business is well on track to realising the projected annual income and I am very confident going forward into 2009 and beyond”.
Mark Pendleton, Franchisee

0800 Handyman franchise...build your own service business that’s always in demand

– a professional handyman service

0800 Handyman franchise provides seasoned DIYers who possess the ambition of being their own boss with exactly the opportunity they’ve been looking for.

We’re already well established in the London area, where we are the leading player with an acknowledged reputation for service excellence. We started trading in 2001. Now, with a highly experienced franchise management team, 0800 Handyman franchise is expanding, creating exciting and rewarding business ownership opportunities based on a winning service formula.

About the 0800 Handyman service

0800 Handyman is effectively equipped to handle the many small repairs and maintenance tasks that home and business owners regularly need to have carried out. Repairing dripping taps, assembling furniture, fitting curtain rails, changing light bulbs are the type of routine tasks that we deal with. They are jobs that home and business owners don’t have the time or inclination to do, and often are of no interest to specialist contractors.

The work is varied, being of a non-specialist nature. We operate on a ‘Fit 4 U’ basis, which means that usually we will only fit items or parts that the customer already has. In metropolitan areas the service is provided using motor scooters/bikes. These are able to carry all of the general tools that are needed and importantly ensure productivity isn’t compromised by traffic congestion and parking problems. Outside metropolitan areas a van is used (franchisees in metropolitan areas may choose either a van or scooter, but a scooter is recommended).

The 0800 Handyman business model is simple; deliver first class service to build a base of regular customers. Our philosophy is to never compromise on quality, and this is reflected in the structure of the franchise. We are creating a trusted and respected brand and the contribution that 0800 Handyman franchisees make towards this aim will help them to build a successful business.

The market opportunity

0800 Handyman operates in a fragmented market. Handymen are established in all communities, but service standards are inconsistent and lethargic. 0800 Handyman is professionalizing the market, applying a dynamic approach to customer service and the certainty of good job at a sensible price. Basically, 0800 Handyman is capitalizing on the growing demand for services with recognized standards

The handyman market comprises all property owners, so its potential is substantial! There are however key sectors that we target in which demand is particularly strong – senior citizens, professional couples, women living alone, home movers, letting agents, companies with less than 25 staff. Our marketing programme includes promotions tailored to these markets.

About being a 0800 Handyman franchisee

As a 0800 Handyman franchisee you’ll run your own business, with our support to help you shape it for success. The benefits are huge

You’ll work from home, and achieve a better work:life balance
You’ll enjoy a varied working day, being out and about, not tied to an office

The Colourfence franchise opportunity

Launched in 2003, the Colourfence franchise is a unique opportunity, to own and operate your own boundary fencing supply and installation business.

Under a ten year franchise agreement, you will provide durable, low maintenance and aesthetically stunning, high tensile steel fencing solutions to domestic and commercial customers in your own protected territory of over 200,000 homes.

The UK fencing market is worth an estimated £500m and as a Colourfence franchisee you will be offering a tried and tested product to a large customer base with a proven need for an alternative to timber.

Generate customer enquiries
Undertake surveys and produce accurate and professional estimates
Obtain orders
Install/supervise installation of Colourfence solutions to customer specification

New product offering - ColourRail

Colourfence franchisees also offer a new product – ColourRail. ColourRail is a tubular steel product for applications where full screening is not required. It is ideal for front gardens and around ponds and pools. It can be mounted free standing using the appropriate posts, between existing pillars, or on top of walls, as local conditions dictate. ColourRail is an economic and attractive alternative to more costly wrought or cast iron and will be fitted to the same high standard as Colourfence.

What makes us stand out from the competition?

With a twenty year history in Australia (and a 35% market share) the product is supported by a 25 year guarantee against rotting warping or fading, and is engineered to withstand wind gusts of up to 130mph.

Our Achievements so far

Colourfence entered the market with a splash. The first accolade the product achieved was a Gold Award at the Royal Horticultural Society Blenheim Palace Show as part of a show garden. The next accolade came with a Silver Award in the 'Best Labour Saving Product or Service' category of The National Gardening Awards 2004.

Next the BBC listed Colourfence in their Top Ten products on the BBC Gardening website. This top ranking came about following the use of the fencing in the BBC 2 TV Garden make over show 'Garden Invaders'.

And this year Colourfence landed another prestigious award after collaborating with the Backgate Gardeners. The project was a cottage garden for the BBC Gardeners World Live Show which was held at the NEC. The garden complete with brown Colourfence fencing took a Bronze award.

Positive action with ActionCOACH franchise!

ActionCOACH franchise currently has 160 business coaching franchisees, operating in the UK and Ireland, and are aiming to almost double this over the next 12 to 18 months.

“There are approximately 4 million SMEs in Britain, therefore the demand for business coaching is expected to enjoy a massive growth in popularity.” So says ActionCOACH franchise, the world’s largest business coaching organisation.

Indeed, ActionCOACH is so buoyant about the future that it is looking to expand the number of its business coaching franchisees operating in the UK and Ireland from 160 to around 320 in the next 12 to 18 months.

According to the company: "One of the key factors behind the surge in demand for coaching has been the success with which it has helped transform the lives and fortunes of many business owners, as evidenced by literally hundreds of case histories.

“However, another important factor has been the quality of business coaches we are attracting. Apart from the high earning potential, what makes business coaching particularly appealing is that, unlike many other franchises, business coaching has relatively low overheads and can be operated from home.

“It also offers an unprecedented level of flexibility. As a result, ActionCOACH tends to attract franchisees who have a strong commercial background, for example in sales and marketing, logistics, IT, etc, and are looking for something that will enable them to use their skills to best effect."

Franchising at your fingertips with an "On My Doorstep" Internet franchise

On My Doorstep is a network of websites designed to support local businesses and help the community get the most out of living in their area.

On My Doorstep websites provide a wealth of local information including events, weather, news, jobs, a gallery of local images, useful contact details (doctors, dentist etc) and a comprehensive business directory; information that attracts people to the website over and over again.

A local business for local people!

It is a well-known fact that most residents in a town would prefer to use a business or service available locally rather than one from miles away. They appreciate that to do so can save them considerable time and money, as well as being beneficial to the environment. With the apparently ever-escalating cost of travel, people are increasingly seeking services and businesses that can satisfy their requirements locally.

The downside of operating a small local business is that often the potential customer base in their area has never heard of them and might not be aware that such a service exists. They could be exactly what the customers are looking for but, unless they have an expensive high-street presence or spend ludicrous amounts on advertising, they could remain anonymous to the very town they aim to serve. On My Doorstep is the answer to this problem, we unlock the potential for businesses to deal with local customers.

The On My Doorstep franchise opportunity

The On My Doorstep franchise network is growing fast with many sites up and running awaiting the right candidate to take over. By the end of 2009 our target is to have the entire network for the UK live, representing over 1,500 On My Doorstep websites.

On My Doorstep franchising packages start from just £6995 + VAT. This includes all you need to get up and running - laptop, laser printer, software, promotional materials and training.

You don't need to be a computer whiz or sales guru to manage this business. You just need a cheerful, friendly personality, high level of motivation and the determination to succeed.

So, if you…

Have the determination to succeed
Have the motivation to get the job done
Have the belief in your own ability
Want to be your own boss and take control of your life
Want to be a key player in the fastest growing sector in advertising

Then an On My Doorstep franchise could be right for you!

Read testimonies from those who’ve taken the next step to buying an On My Doorstep franchise

“After having a bad experience with a previous franchisor in a different line of business, I was acutely aware of the potential pitfalls and had a clear idea of the basic operational requirements needed to make things work. On My Doorstep ticked all the right boxes and it was clear from the outset that the Franchisor clearly understood how to run a successful franchise operation.

The franchise has been well thought out, the system well-designed and the operating tools, training and technical support are excellent. The whole thing works in a spirit of trust and mutual respect which makes it very easy to concentrate on the prime issues – growing and developing the business.

After 3 months of working in a business sector that was completely new to me, I have nothing but praise for the guys at On My Doorstep – they have been patient and supportive, provided training and guidance, been open and consultative and, most important, allowed me the freedom and flexibility to develop and grow the business the way I want to do it.

The On My Doorstep franchisor clearly recognises that it is the franchisees and their entrepreneurial spirit that make it all work. Many Franchises seem to want to impose sets of rules, reporting structures and big-brother type interference, which tends to restrict this spirit. The way On My Doorstep has been set up means that franchisees can devote all their time and energy into growing the business rather than justifying it.”

Paul Leader, On My Doorstep franchisee

“My first thoughts on this type of business were very negative because there were so many other online directories, but after seeing all the others, and comparing them to OnMyDoorstep.co.uk, OnMyDoorstep came out streaks ahead of any of the others; it’s in a league of its own. It’s so much more than just a directory, and the potential for growth as a business is an inspiration and motivation on its own.”

Countrywide Signs franchise...a van-based franchise opportunity

About Countrywide Signs franchise

This is a unique business opportunity in an essential sector - the property market. The use of signs by estate agents as an advertising tool has become a critical part of their business and making sure that their signs are managed effectively is equally as important.

What we do

Almost every home on an Estate Agent's books, almost every sale they make involves a sign being erected, changed and ultimately retrieved. It is not cost effective for the Estate Agent to carry out these tasks themselves, so outsourcing to Countrywide Signs franchise relieves them of this duty and ensures a high standard of professional service.

Van-based franchises are often successful depending on how well they can tap into specific local markets. Taking that concept one step further, imagine a business that is dedicated solely to fulfilling the constant advertising needs of one very large market. That is the kind of focus that other franchises simply cannot offer.

Countrywide Signs franchise provides estate agents with a very valuable professional service - supplying, erecting and maintaining their "For Sale" signs. A straightforward concept, but a task which properly carried out is of exceptional importance. Every single property on the market needs one!

Why choose Countrywide Signs franchise?

We at Countrywide Signs fully understand the close relationship which is basic to the principles of Franchising, relying upon the honesty, commitment and professionalism of both Franchisor and Franchisee. Our commitment to our Franchisees includes the sharing of our experience and expertise. Our success is the starting point for your success, and your success will add to ours, therefore we have a firm interest in helping you succeed and are firmly committed to achieving this. If you are awarded a Countrywide Signs Franchise you will be part of an expanding team across the country, serving Estate Agents both large and small.

Leaps and Bounds…the pre-school children’s franchise

Developed by Tumble Tots, Leaps and Bounds is a progressive physical and movement programme for children aged from walking up to five years which has been designed to complement the indoor and outdoor physical activities provided by Pre-school settings.

Children are encouraged through a sequence of tasks to develop skills including: locomotion, agility, balance, climbing, co-ordination and language development through the use of action songs and rhymes.

In 2006 Leaps and Bounds was awarded a Kite Mark by Professional Development Board of Physical Education (PDB). This kitemark is a quality endorsement recognised by DCSF.

How does Leaps and Bounds work?

Fun, exciting and flexible yearly lesson plans designed to fit in with the timetable of any pre-school setting.
Trained instructors deliver colour coded activity blocks. Each block has a specific learning objective that is reinforced and revised. Each activity has specific teaching points and progressions to help the child develop at their own pace.
Involvement with parents. At the beginning of each block children are given objectives and suggested activities to enjoy at home.
At the end of each 30 minute session each child will receive an achievement sticker (e.g. I can jump). Thus reinforcing the objectives achieved during that particular week.
At the end of every block, each child will receive a certificate outlining what they have achieved.
At the end of all the blocks for that year there is a celebration of achievement. Each child will receive a medal.

Leaps and Bounds client testimonies

“We have just come to the end of our first block of Leaps and Bounds. I have to say that the progress our children have made has been fabulous. From the first session the children have and lots of fun and enjoyment. They have gained many skills through Leaps and Bounds. The children love participating and love to collect their achievement stickers at the end of the sessions. Children have been seen to blossom since the start of classes, their confidence, independence and physical skills have progressed at an amazing pace. It is wonderful to see children developing and moving forward in many areas of their development, but the main thing is that they are having fantastic fun. Parents have remarked on their own children's progress and have been amazed at how confident they have become since starting Leaps and Bounds."
Vikki Greggs Nursery Manager Castle View Nursery Chester Le Street

"The Leaps & Bounds leader is always punctual and prepares for the sessions well for the ages and abilities of the children. She is always cheerful and enthusiastic and that made the children eager too as they anticipate for the for the sessions start. The equipment that Leaps & Bounds provide for each session varies from week to week so there is always something different to look forward to. The children experience new physical challenges through these sessions and enjoy the songs, rhymes and ring games too.
Kamariah Kazmi Manager Regent Nursery

The Leaps & Bounds leader is a pleasure to have; she is always smiling and has a fantastic sense of humour which the children and I adore.
Laxmi Patel Administrator/Manager Ghanshyam Nursury School

"Our children have a fabulous time at the Leaps and Bounds classes. They are on the 2nd set of classes now and they absolutely love it. They have all developed their physical skills really well and we are delighted with the impact that our classes has on them. Parents are keen for the children to continue with the programme as they can see how much their children get out of them. We would highly recommend Leaps and Bounds classes".

From Franchise Opportunities in the UK at WhichFranchise.com

littleAngels is the best photography franchise in the UK today!

The company is so confident their business system works, if you do not have a successful
start to your business in the first year, littleAngels will give your money back

littleAngels is a fast growing photography business. The company produces high quality children’s portrait and group photographs, which are produced in modern, different, bright and exciting presentation packs.

The main business is photographing children in pre-schools and nurseries, with extended opportunities for portrait and group photography, and many additional lucrative areas of business

The littleAngels franchise business is ideal if you have a family because it is mainly term-time only. This means when the children are off from school so are you! With a short working day many of our existing Angels drop kids off at school, and are at home when they return! This leaves plenty of quality time for the family. The business is fun, and every day is different. You run your own business and manage your diary.

The littleAngels business is a home-based franchise opportunity.

Our littleAngels franchisees are confident and enjoy dealing with people. Self motivation and a desire to succeed are vital. A driving licence and reliable vehicle are essential.

It is Easy to Learn

If you enjoy taking the family snaps, we can train you to become a professional portrait photographer. With early assistance from our tele marketing specialists, and marketing help in your area, we will also show you how to get your business off to a flying start. Support with your franchise is ongoing.

No Boring Stuff

littleAngels Head office removes all the boring printing and delivery details. You get the fun side of the business, promoting the business and taking the photos.

Zoe, a littleAngels franchisee in the North West says “I have so much fun it doesn’t feel like work at all. I broke even in my first year of trading, and I am looking forward to making lots more money. I was able to take my family to New York this year to celebrate my husbands 40^th birthday! Thanks to my littleAngels business, it was the first time I have bought him something with my own money for years!”

” I had no experience whatsoever” Carolyn in Redditch told us. “During training littleAngels taught me everything I needed to know about taking good portraits and group photos. I was also taught how to manage the photo session which is vital when dealing with small children. The marketing side was also much easier than I imagined because our products are very different, many being unique to little Angels. I received tremendous support and assistance from Head Office and thoroughly enjoy my work.”

The littleAngels business is both great fun and very rewarding, with almost 100% repeat business. “It’s like doing business with friends! claims Paula in Lincoln, one of the growing numbers of 25 Angels in the UK.

littleAngels franchisees can earn in excess of £22,000 per annum working part time. Just 4 or 5 days per week, and 4 hours per day, mainly during term time only.

The littleAngels franchise investment

The franchise fee is only £6,750+ vat

This is a one off payment which includes a designated home territory, 4 days initial training course, and additional marketing help in your area. In addition, littleAngels franchise owners receive a business manual, stationery pack, samples, full know how and complete Head Office back up with permanent field support.

Photographic equipment costs are approximately £2,500 + vat

This is a comprehensive state of the art package that allows you to create modern and attractive photographs that sell really well.

Much of the investment can be financed.

What should I do next?

the venture story

Venture Portraits is widely recognised as the market leader and the only nationally represented brand within the premium portrait market. Our 90 UK studios provide a truly unique service to our customers and our business model delivers great returns. Venture is quite possibly one of the best franchise opportunities in the market today.

From the first pioneering gallery-style studio that opened in 2000, Venture Portraits has achieved our ambition to become a global leader in the contemporary portrait photography market. We now have over 60 studios across the UK, as well as several in Ireland, Hong Kong and the USA; a success story that continues to grow and grow.

our brand

There are many independent portrait studios around the country so why wouldn’t you follow their lead and open one yourself? The strength of the Venture brand sets us apart from the rest. As a Venture Portrait franchise owner you would benefit from a brand that has been built over a number of years and continues to be recognised by more and more people. Venture is now the ‘first choice’ portrait brand recognised by nearly 40% of our target population.

Our brand is much more than just the sign over our door. It represents our entire approach to our business and our customers, our values and our beliefs about our organisation and remains one of the key differentiators between Venture and the rest of the market.

Over 6 years of trading Venture has established itself as the prominent and pre-eminent high street brand within the portraiture market. Global expansion is currently underway with studios now trading in Hong Kong and the USA.

Venture Portraits has not just changed consumer perceptions of what a family portrait should be, it has also totally changed the economics of studio ownership.

Home Instead Senior Care UK Franchise Opportunity on whichfranchise.com

Home Instead Senior Care Franchise Opportunity on whichfranchise.com

From Franchise Opportunities in the UK at WhichFranchise.com

Home Instead franchise...the world’s leading domiciliary care franchise company

Home Instead Senior Care is a very successful business, but we're much more than a business. Home Instead Senior Care is the world leader in providing non-medical care for older people. We currently have more than 800 franchised offices in 15 countries.

This experience has created superb business opportunities for our franchise owners (who need no previous care experience) to own and run their own management franchise, leading a team of office staff and CAREGivers, who provide care to older people, helping them to stay in their own home for as long as possible.

In summary, Home Instead Senior Care franchise offers selected individuals:

The opportunity to build a large, successful, business
The processes and systems required to deliver world class quality services
The potential to play a significant role in transforming how care is provided to older people in your community
More support than any other care franchise in the UK
A proven business model that has been refined over 14 years of continuous growth

Outstanding quality – To our clients

The quality of the services we provide to our clients was acknowledged in April 2008 when Home Instead Senior Care became the only care franchise company in the UK to have won a Dignity In Care award from the NHS.

Our processes and procedures exceed the requirements of all the Government bodies that regulate care across the UK, and the inspection reports we have received are another indication of the quality of care we provide.

Outstanding support – To our franchise owners

The quality of the support we provide to our franchise owners is perhaps best indicated by the International Franchise Association’s (IFA) survey of franchisee satisfaction across all US based franchising companies. Home Instead Senior Care franchise was placed second overall in 2007 and 2008 and first in the home care category in both years.

More locally in Ireland we have recently won the Best Emerging Franchise Award, whilst in the UK Home Instead Senior Care franchise have won the Best International Expansion Programme at the 2008 Franchise Marketing Awards event.

Outstanding growth

Across the UK and Ireland Home Instead Senior Care has 38 offices producing annualised revenues in excess of £18m per annum and this is growing dramatically each month. Given that three quarters of these offices have been open for less than 2 years, we believe this is a phenomenal achievement and makes us the fastest growing care franchise company in terms of our franchise owners’ revenue growth.

We are looking for people who want to run their own successful businesses, allowing us to expand in a smart, controlled manner. This will ensure we achieve our objective ‘To become the UK’s most admired care organisation by changing the way care is provided to older people.’

Please be aware that no previous care experience is necessary – indeed most of our franchise owners have not worked in the care sector before.

More support than any other care franchise in the UK

In addition to an extremely comprehensive start up package (including operational manuals, award winning training materials, DVDs, thousands of marketing brochures and a unique software system that has more functionality than any other care software system in the UK), we offer more hands on support than any other care franchise company.

This starts with a bespoke 90 day start up programme and continues with a range of ongoing support activities. These include local and national PR programmes, quarterly conferences, peer group meetings with owners at similar stages of development to yourself and unlimited telephone support. We provide a range of programmes and initiatives which will enable you to rapidly grow and manage your franchise business.

A rapidly growing market and the need for change

The UK care market is currently worth in excess of £12 billion per annum and is forecast to at least treble over the next twenty years; the majority of this is spent on older people. The UK population is aging rapidly and there is a strong desire by the government to assist people to remain living at home for as long as possible.

However it isn’t just the rapidly growing market that is important, there is also strong recognition by the government and support organisations that the way care is currently provided needs to change. The feedback we have had is that our approach to care is exactly what is needed and we believe we are leading a revolution in care provision across the UK.

If you are interested in receiving more information about being a Home Instead Senior Care franchise owner please complete the request form below. We look forward to hearing from you.

Franchise territories are available throughout the UK and Ireland for Home Instead franchise.

NIC Services Group UK Franchise Opportunity on whichfranchise.com

NIC Services Group Franchise Opportunity on whichfranchise.com

From Franchise Opportunities in the UK at WhichFranchise.com

Get help to invest in the UK’s largest industry

As credit becomes increasingly difficult to access, NIC are launching a new Easy Start Scheme to assist prospective franchisees.

We are so confident of our business model

Cleaning is a virtually recession-proof industry which is evident by how well our existing franchisees are growing their businesses. However, in this current economic climate many talented prospects are finding it difficult to raise the finance required, therefore NIC are prepared to offer up to 50% funding on the initial franchise fee for a limited time only*.

*Subject to Terms and Conditions

NIC Services Group is a family run business with over 50 years experience in the industry, making us one of the most successful contract cleaning companies in the country. We are cleaning specialists with a nationwide coverage & reputation in franchising. As well as support from real experts with unrivalled business experience we offer an unbeatable range of benefits to protect your investment and maximise your profits.

“Our constant commitment is to improve the quality of service we deliver to all NIC Franchisees”

They say the best way to judge the calibre of a company is by meeting the people at the top. In the case of NIC Services Group’s senior management, there is a quiet confidence and a deeply held enthusiasm for the world of commercial cleaning that is highly infectious.

When quizzed for the secret of NIC’s success the management team got straight to the point – “Everything needs cleaning!” they said “just think of all the outlets, offices and shops you pass each day. Now consider that each needs regular cleaning and it’s clear to see why the cleaning industry is one of the UK’s largest service sectors, with an annual turnover in excess of £6.1 billion – and still growing!”

Very few cleaning franchises can boast that as a family owned business they have been in the cleaning industry for almost half a century with the resultant decades of “hands-on” experience enabling them to develop industry-leading systems and procedures. The NIC franchise operation was launched in 1995, at which time NIC’s managerial expertise was redirected to focus on providing in depth, ongoing support for each NIC franchise, to ensure their rapid success.

As the UK’s largest cleaning franchise NIC is extremely fortunate in being able to call on over 150 years combined experience from within its operational team. With all these in house skills it is no surprise that NIC has gained ISO 9001:2000 Accreditation.

The UK cleaning market

Think of all the places people work and play: offices, shops, factories, sports halls. Consider the need for daily cleaning. Dirt builds up, and never stops. There is a perpetual need for regular maintenance.

As well as very low overhead costs, it is virtually unaffected by seasonal and economic influences, which makes it virtually recession proof. Opportunities exist throughout the UK to succeed in the commercial cleaning business with an NIC franchise. Cleaning is a demanding people business with many companies today outsourcing their cleaning requirements.

Contract cleaning is firmly established as the most cost effective and efficient way of cleaning buildings, allowing companies to focus on their core business. It is one of the first services to be contracted out. Increasingly customers want a package of services in addition to cleaning such as washroom supplies, portering, and postroom. All of these requirements add up to a huge potential market for the NIC franchise owner.

NIC have over 150 years of operational experience in providing quality services at a competitive price and have built a portfolio of blue chip customers. Opportunities exist throughout the UK to succeed in the commercial cleaning business with an NIC franchise.

“Our constant commitment is to improve the quality of service we deliver to all NIC Franchisees”

Little Kickers…a striking franchise opportunity!

Little Kickers is the UK's most popular pre-school football activity programme.

Guided by the likes of FA qualified coaches, nursery school teachers, child health specialists and pro-active parents, the Little Kickers Programme is an ever-evolving quest to teach fundamental football techniques and elementary life skills in a vibrant, group play environment.

Invaluable social skills like listening, sharing, taking turns and teamwork are conscientiously woven into an involving programme that places as much emphasis on simple learning concepts like colours, numbers and socialisation as it does on fine-tuning a child's basic balance, agility and co-ordination.

We suspect many of you are at a stage where you’ve realized that your current career isn’t perhaps all it was cracked up to be. Tetchy bosses, long hours, mundane routine or a lop-sided work life balance are no substitutes for more quality time with family and friends. In a nutshell what we offer is a fresh start, a challenging and rewarding career, where you manage and control your own business.

Why Little Kickers franchise?

Little Kickers has a proven track record of success both in the UK and internationally, and has experienced impressive growth. This is due, in part, to an increased focus on the importance of encouraging children to participate in sport, and also to the quality of the people we select as franchisees, and the extensive training we provide.

Dent Technique…
the paintless dent removal franchise

Dent-Technique specialises in paintless dent removal, the most cost-effective and convenient way of removing dents from vehicle bodywork. We have established an excellent reputation with customers throughout the motor trade and the general public.

At Dent-Technique UK, we have perfected a process for paintless dent removal that can be taken to the customer for the job to be done quickly, conveniently at their premises or at home, and at a highly competitive price.

We offer a first class service, reliability, convenience and value for money. As a consequence, we are now the first choice for many prestige car dealerships as well as private motorists.

Our comprehensive training programme covers all the technical and practical aspects of the work, as well as teaching franchisees all they need to know about running their own auto-repair franchise business.

Dent-Technique is a mobile franchise that can be run from a home office initially, keeping overheads to a minimum during the early days. Later, as the business expands, franchisees have the option of setting up a permanent “dent removal car clinic” in suitable premises, typically on an industrial estate. Customers are assured of the same top quality service but with a choice of bringing their vehicle to the clinic or having a ‘home visit’.

With 27 million cars on the UK’s roads, there is a massive and growing market for our type of service, which is why we are seeking franchisees all over the UK to join us. In this fast moving sector we need motivated and skilled people to take our brand forward – we hope this could be you!

Company Background

Paul Phillips set up Dent-Technique in 1999, after working in the vehicle repair sector for some five years and having gained considerable experience of the processes involved.

There was a big demand for the service that Paul’s new company offered. He soon recruited other people to work in his rapidly expanding business and Dent-Technique attracted attention from major car dealerships throughout the area. Today, the company’s client portfolio includes the main dealers in the region, including several prestige marques.

Dent-Technique has also established a “car clinic” at the Leicester head office and training centre, for those customers who prefer to leave their vehicle for attention.

Why Dent-Technique is Franchising

Dent-Technique is franchising because we want to share our success. We know we offer franchisees a viable business with many opportunities in an expanding marketplace. We are seeking highly motivated individuals who share our vision, embrace our quality standards and are determined to succeed.

If you enjoy meeting people, you like cars and prefer plenty of variety in your work, then a Dent-Technique franchise might be just the opportunity you are looking for.

The Dent-Technique Brand

Dent-Technique is a well established brand and the name is synonymous with quality. Our customers know that when they call Dent-Technique they will be greeted by a professional, smart and highly skilled technician. We want to build on this reputation with a nationwide network of similarly motivated people, which is why we are investing in a range of marketing activities that will promote the brand and our services to a growing customer base.

The Dent Technique Franchise Package

The cost of a franchise is £12,500

This is what you get for your money:-

Extensive four to eight week in-house training course with 2 weeks shadowing an experienced PDR tech

“I would like to thank Chris Johnson and all the other guys at Autovaletdirect as they have been there for me from day one, all the way to my first day on the road. In my first month I have doubled the amount of jobs that were forecast, therefore doubling the amount of money taken.”

Gavin Teasedale, Autovaletdirect (Wakefield)

“Dear Chris, thank you for all your help and support in my first year. My life has changed for the better; I am able to spend more time with my family, although I often work 7 days a week. I am home evenings unlike my previous career in hospitality.

To be honest I love being my own boss. As I have always said, its not work, its just messing around with cars, and I still feel the same. My achievement is that my business is growing month on month and I am seriously thinking about taking on my first employee."

Richard Rowe, Autovaletdirect (Cheltenham)

“I have just completed four days at Brands Hatch maintaining the Alf Romeo stand at the World Super bikes. This was an incredible experience, I had a pit pass so was able to meet the riders and view the bikes and was paid for the full four days with all expenses covered. This is an ongoing alliance with Autovaletdirect and Alfa Romeo giving me the opportunity to experience further events in the future. Thank you Autovaletdirect”

Gary Stevens, Autovaletdirect (Tonbridge)

The Silverdaze Franchise Business Opportunity

The Silverdaze Franchise is a business opportunity offering a unique chance to run your own business selling beautiful and unusual jewellery on a retail basis as a "Silverdazer".
We are seeking friendly, enthusiastic and outgoing people who are looking for an improvement in lifestyle and wishing to build their own successful franchise business.

We are seeking applicants from throughout the UK to join our franchise team.

If you would like to contact us about the Silverdaze Franchise please complete the short form below.

The Unique Features of a Silverdaze Franchise are:

It is the only franchise jewellery business of its kind operating in the UK
Low initial outlay and NO management fee - your profits are your own.
The Silverdaze Franchise business can be worked part time and yet can produce the equivalent of a full time salary.
The Silverdaze Franchise business can also be worked full time enabling you to build a much larger business should you wish to do so.
It is flexible and adaptable so as to include a wide range of marketing channels such as party plan, charity, fundraising and corporate events.
A wide and extensive range of hand chosen exquisite jewellery to suit all purses and personalities.
Unlike many other franchise opportunities, the initial franchise fee includes all your setting up equipment, and most importantly enough jewellery to be able to go out straight away and make sales.

A Special deal for the franchisees of SILVERDAZE UK Limited

All our franchisees are equipped with fully mobile GPRS Chip & Pin enabled terminals.

Silverdaze UK Limited has negotiated competitive terms for all its franchisees for the processing of credit and debit card payments in conjunction with Lloyds TSB Cardnet.

Your Customers

When you own a Silverdaze Franchise you are free to sell where and when you want, however the majority of our jewellery is sold at parties.
Many customers book parties several times per year and for some the Silverdaze party has become part of their social calendar.
The display takes less than 30 minutes to set up and our franchisees also sell at local companies, factories, offices, health clubs, charity events, craft fairs, school fairs, church fairs, pamper evenings, local regular markets, libraries, hospitals, health centres and shopping centres.
As well as buying jewellery at these events, customers will book jewellery parties to be held in their own homes, at a later date.
There is no "hard sell" involved - women love our jewellery and our unique method of presentation is such that it sells itself.

No Previous Experience Required

If you have not had experience running your own business before, then setting up a business of your own may seem daunting.
By investing in your own business as a Silverdaze franchisee it means that many of the uncertainties usually associated with starting up in business have already been ironed out for you.
We offer a complete, proven concept that has been successfully tested over 8 years, together with our unique experience and 'know-how'.

Training and Support

We provide full training and support, and a 120-page manual that is packed with tips and information.

This is what we include in our package:
Product, marketing, administration and party training at time of joining.
The attendance of Diana Serle, founder & MD of Silverdaze, at your first sales event to ensure that your business gets off to a flying start!
Help with developing your customer base.
Continuous training for the first 6 months in three separate sessions to include:

- Refresher training in all aspects of the business

- Training on how best to maximise sales

- How best to use the marketing materials provided by Silverdaze

- New marketing ideas and strategies

Quarterly franchisee meetings are held to discuss all aspects of their business and to introduce and give training on new product lines.
Further training is offered as an additional extra if and when required.
We are always available to give help and advice whenever you need it.

Low Overheads

Overheads are low, as no premises are required because each Franchisee works from home. The entire display and stock are easily transportable in, for e.g., a 2-door hatchback. No staff are required either, however there is nothing to stop you from employing people should you wish to expand your business into a much larger venture. Because overheads are low our franchisees are able to sell high quality beautiful jewellery at affordable prices.

Buying Your Jewellery

Buying your stock from us is easy and straightforward. Simply make an appointment to visit our secure premises, from which you will be able to view, choose and purchase all your Silverdaze Jewellery in a friendly and relaxed environment. We have a wide and extensive range and you will be able to buy as little or as much as you need.

Franchisee Profile

Our Franchisees have come from all walks of life and backgrounds and have joined us for a variety of reasons. Typical reasons are:

A desire to stop working for other people for low financial reward.
A desire to start working for themselves for a higher reward - financial and otherwise.
A desire to leave full time employment without losing income.
A desire to have more time to spend with their families and/or having time to pursue other interests such as travel.
A desire to feel more empowered and in control of their own lives.
A desire to lead an enjoyable, fun and rewarding working life.
A desire to improve their lifestyles.

Qualities and Attributes Required

A desire to build a successful franchise business
A passion for jewellery
Confidence
A friendly and outgoing personality
Enthusiasm
An ability to take charge
A willingness to work some evenings

What is Funky Monkeys all about?

Funky Monkeys is the exciting new leisure industry franchise featuring a children's indoor activity centre and cafe concept – a sector experiencing tremendous growth. As developments have gathered pace, standards have inevitably tended to vary but Funky Monkeys is of the very best, meeting the expectations of an increasingly discerning public. Customer research is very positive, with parents telling us that Funky Monkeys is exactly what they have been waiting for, with all the right ingredients, including;

Large themed soft play structure
Toddler play area
Healthy eating cafe
Parent-friendly venue
Successful birthday party format

Funky Monkeys also has the right ingredients for a successful business through its franchise arm which, based on the trading performance of the core business, offers considerable scope for profitable development.

Who is behind Funky Monkeys franchise?

Husband and wife team Nick & Zoe Hearn gave up successful careers to pursue an ambition to create their own business success. With Nick having worked for a major company in I.T., and Zoe enjoying success in the marketing sector, they spotted an opportunity for a premium player in the children’s soft play market.

To get the concept just right, they undertook extensive research in the UK, Europe and Dubai. The unique combination of thrilling play structures and parent-friendly 'Healthy Eating' cafe has brought true distinctiveness to the young-family sector. The concept is vibrant, exciting - and highly-attractive from a commercial perspective!

Aware of the role played by the British Franchise Association (bfa) in promoting viable and ethical franchises through their accreditation procedure, Nick and Zoe decided to optimise their franchise development by consultation with bfa affiliated professional advisers. As a result, Funky Monkeys have worked hard towards accreditation by the bfa and have been rewarded with membership of the bfa as Provisional Members.

**STOP PRESS**

We have 7 centres open, 20 territories sold and a further 5 centres planned to open in 2008. A Master Franchisee has been appointed for Ireland and we are actively seeking Funky Monkey Master Franchisees worldwide.

What do you need to become a Funky Monkeys franchise owner?

Experience - Essentially a “management franchise”, Funky Monkeys aims to appeal to those from a wide range of backgrounds. The training and continuing support programmes are excellent and therefore previous experience is not necessary.

Finance - The major banks offer financing packages to Funky Monkeys Franchisees, subject to status, relating to a guideline liquid capital requirement of circa. £35,000 plus VAT, which may vary according to individual premises costs.

London, North East and Manchester**

Baguette Express…the healthy food franchise

Baguette Express was established in 1999 to provide an alternative approach to the expanding world of healthy snacking. We saw a gap in the market for a business that sought to provide a wide range of food at an attractive price level and pricing structure, together with a pleasant Baguette Express environment.

We love the image that we have created, and we want everyone to have the chance to come and enjoy the Baguette Express experience. The brand image of Baguette Express is a modern, warm and inviting outlet providing a friendly, relaxed and knowledgeable service at an attractive price level.

Baguette Express is aimed principally at young professionals, students and office workers, although our customers are drawn from all demographic types.

Baguette Express presents a personal, relaxed atmosphere, one where customers know they will be served by friendly staff who will serve them quickly and without fuss.

Kitchen and Bedroom Transformations UK Franchise Opportunity on whichfranchise.com

Kitchen and Bedroom Transformations Franchise Opportunity on whichfranchise.com

From Franchise Opportunities in the UK at WhichFranchise.com

Transform your life with a Kitchen & Bedroom Transformations franchise

Kitchen & Bedroom Transformations offers a complete refurbishment service, transforming an old kitchen or bedroom by fitting new doors, drawer fronts and worktops at a fraction of the cost of a new kitchen or bedroom. Customers can save up to 70% compared to the cost of a new top-end kitchen when using our “transformation” service. Or, if the customer prefers a brand new kitchen or bedroom, we can offer them a complete new, luxury fitted kitchen at savings of up to 30% because we buy direct from the factory.

In the current economic climate, many people are deciding to “improve rather than move”. The housing market may be slowing down but the home improvement market is growing as people decide to stay put and instead upgrade their existing kitchen or bedroom. Customers want to not only be able to enjoy their new fitted kitchen or stylish fitted bedroom for themselves, but also to add value to their homes for when the time does come to sell. Customers are focusing more and more on how they can add value to their home with the minimum of cost and a “transformation” is the perfect answer because they get a brand new look for their kitchen at a saving up to 70% compared with the cost of a complete new fitted kitchen.

The Market

The market in made-to-measure replacement kitchen and bedroom doors is a very lucrative one and, with our help, much easier to enter than the “full kitchens” market. We think it is the perfect start-up business to generate good profits and allow you to ease into the even more lucrative and fascinating fitted kitchen and fitted bedroom industry as you become more experienced and gather your team around you. Dealing with smaller refurbishment jobs initially has two main advantages: the jobs themselves are simpler, so there is less to go wrong whilst you build up your experience and knowledge; and the jobs are completed quickly, which means you get paid more quickly and this improves your cashflow.

A basic transformation:

Once you have progressed to offering full kitchens and bedrooms as well as refurbishments, you will be able to offer your customers the best of both worlds: a complete refurbishment service, transforming an old kitchen or bedroom by fitting new made-to-measure doors, drawer fronts and worktops at a fraction of the cost of a new one, or, if your customers don’t want to keep their old cabinets, or the cabinets are just in too poor condition, they can have a brand new, luxury kitchen or fitted bedroom.

It is this ability to offer both options to our customers which sets us apart from other “cheap and cheerful” competitors who only offer replacement doors (not complete kitchens) and often have a much more limited ranges of doors. So, whatever the customer wants or needs, we can offer it, together with impartial advice about which is the best option for them.

Our Local Showroom Approach

Although you can usually start trading from home, Kitchen & Bedroom Transformations is committed to building a network of local showrooms and you will therefore need to move into a showroom within 12 months. Not an expensive one, but in a secondary position where customers can visit, there is easy parking and where you can display your products and store goods which are awaiting fitting.

A local showroom creates both prestige for you and increased confidence for the customer because they know that you are a reputable and well-established business, not just a “man with a van” who might never be seen again after the job is finished! Most importantly of all, our experience has shown that a showroom significantly increases the sales levels of our franchisees.
