Lead and support from the top with these management franchise opportunities

1. Business Doctors

This company’s franchisees help small and medium-sized enterprises across all sectors to achieve growth, health and wealth. Established in the north of England in 2004, the network is thriving by filling a gap in the market between the big four consultancies and independent consultants.

As a Business Doctor, you will enjoy the security of joining an ethical, ISO accredited, multi-award-winning company with a proven business concept, strong brand identity, comprehensive training programme and proven customer-focused business tools and processes.

Business Doctors share their expertise to empower others, providing hands-on support with strategy, sales and profit growth and people engagement. Working alone and collaboratively, they’re armed with a full suite of marketing and delivery tools and fully supported by a friendly head office team and on the ground regional directors.

No consultancy experience is necessary, as extensive training will top up your own business experience. Successful franchisees can expect to earn a six-figure income once their business is established.

Business Doctors co-founder Rod Davies says: “Our aim is to become the main business support organisation for SMEs in the UK and we welcome potential franchisee partners with the will to help themselves and others to succeed.”

3. Promedica24

Promedica24

The proportion of older people in the population is growing fast. According to charity Age UK, there are now more people in the UK aged 60 and above than there are under 16. As a result, the demand for live-in care is increasing rapidly, with the market set to grow significantly. The Promedica24 franchise model has been developed over the past three years and today there are more than 138 franchisees in Germany and the UK providing health care in the home - this figure is growing by around five per month.

As a Promedica24 franchise partner, you’ll benefit from far more than just a strong, established brand. The company provides an extensive range of services to support franchisees every step of the way. This includes training and support with professional development, a comprehensive package of tools and activities, as well as personal support in your everyday work.

In your third year of operation, it’s feasible to have a turnover in excess of £150,000. If you have the right philosophy and are prepared to learn, you can create a business with both moral and financial value.

What you need to know

Investment Level:

initial franchise cost £15,000, plus working capital of approximately £10,000.

What you get:

one-week training in Poland and one-week training in the UK; training and recruitment of all care staff; quarterly regional meetings; assistance with developing your business plan; assistance with local marketing plans; regional and national advertising; exclusive territory.

4. Minster Cleaning Services

Minster Cleaning Services

Minster Cleaning Services has been cleaning offices and commercial premises, large and small, since 1982. The business takes care of thousands of organisations throughout the UK.

With a network of more than 40 branches, group turnover is over £36 million. Many Minster branches are achieving sales in excess of £1m.

A Minster management franchise offers a low-risk opportunity with a guaranteed geographic area and exceptional support within the recession resistant and growing commercial cleaning sector.

The company is currently looking for successful and experienced managers who are able to demonstrate a track record of achievement. Managing a successful Minster branch requires a ‘can do’ attitude to customer service and a tenacious approach to attaining results.

New franchise areas include Cambridge, Doncaster, Durham, Leicester, London, Middlesex, Guildford, Peterborough and Swansea. Opportunities also arise where existing franchisees wish to sell their branches, often to facilitate their retirement.

If you’re frustrated by working hard for someone else’s benefit, but worried about the risks associated with starting your own business without dedicated support, a Minster management franchise is well worth considering.

What you need to know

Investment Level:

£20,000+VAT, minimum £35,000 working capital and personal drawings.

What you get:

full training and support; computer hardware; stationery; machinery; equipment and materials.

5. NIC Services Group

NIC Services Group

Commercial cleaning is virtually a recession-proof industry, as it’s an essential service, and the market is one of the largest single industries in the UK.

NIC Services Group offers the chance to run a true management business. Explains Steve Calvert, the company’s franchise recruitment director: “Franchisees don’t go out and do the cleaning, they work on the development of the business, making sure cleaning operatives continue to provide excellent service and so build the business from within.

“What we’re aiming to do is add to our network across the UK and key to our continued success is the way we go about looking for franchisees and who we consider. We put a lot of emphasis on attracting the right calibre of person to join our network.”

The company’s aim is to appoint between 8-10 franchisees per year, who will manage both large and small contracts, visit existing clients to conduct monthly audits, manage cleaning teams, network to build new relationships and grow the business.

Time is split between being on the road and the essential management of the business, which can be run from a home office.

What you need to know

Investment Level:

personal investment from £20,000 (plus VAT).

What you get:

training programme covering cleaning methods, business training, sales and marketing advice delivered to British Institute of Cleaning Science standards; central handling of financial and administrative tasks.

10. The ZipYard

The ZipYard

Co-founded by two aspiring entrepreneurs, The Zip Yard is a franchise that appeals to people from all walks of life.

With its headquarters in Belfast, the business has a network of franchised shops across Ireland and the UK, thanks to a fresh and modern approach to the clothing alterations industry.

With 56 stores in total, The ZipYard began franchising in 2007, moving into the Republic of Ireland in 2009 and the rest of the UK in 2011. The business model is based on operating from carefully chosen, primarily town centre retail units with an on-site team of fully trained seamstresses.

The distinctive yellow and black branding and shop fit create a clean and bright atmosphere that instils confidence in customers. Franchisees have access to a significant amount of marketing material, programmes and tools to help them attract custom, including a comprehensive initial launch programme and a dedicated PR agency.

Graeme Mulheron, franchisee for The ZipYard Bedford, says: “The brand has a very professional image, which is reflected in the quality of the shop fit, online presence and all of the marketing collateral provided by the franchisor.

“In addition, there’s a high level of business support and all franchisees also have free access to a very proactive PR agency. None of this could be replicated easily if you set up on your own.”

What you need to know

Investment Level:

£42,000.

What you get:

full training; ongoing support; marketing and PR assistance; continued concept and product development.
