How to get started
To get started with a Lawnscience franchise, the brand has a seven-step system in place – beginning with a no obligation talk, and a review of their franchise prospectus and offering. You may then be invited to their Milton Keynes head office, where you can meet the franchise team to discuss the business opportunity in greater detail. You will also have the chance to meet other existing franchise partners, and ask them questions about how they run a Lawnscience business.
Once you are certain you have a strong interest in the brand, they will then start to evaluate a personalised and exclusive territory for you. This is often done as a collaborative activity – your own input into a specific area will help to identify the most lucrative territory, with the best potential to grow the business in. After this, all relevant paperwork is completed and a territory is confirmed, before starting your franchise training process.
