Franchise overview

What the fee buys you

Seventeen items included across training, kit, business set-up, territory and marketing.

Four weeks at head office: repairs, spraying, business development, safety, and field shadowing

Business set-up

Company set-up help, accounting software training, full operations document suite

Territory

Exclusive territory (350,000+ rooftops), target business report, cards, brochures, digital presence

Funding available

You do not need the full amount in cash. We work with NatWest franchise funding and the government start-up loan scheme, and can introduce you to a specialist. Funding can go towards the fee, a van and equipment, hiring staff or marketing.

A minimum 50% personal contribution is required. We cannot guarantee any lender’s decision.

How we support your success

  • A structured 4-week training programme run by experts
  • Marketing support, lead generation, sales literature and branding
  • National agreements held centrally and fed into territories
  • Ongoing workshops, process videos and franchisee hub support
  • Support for growth and recruitment as you build a team
  • A recession-resistant model with private and commercial demand

Hands-on experience helps but is not required. The one hard requirement is colour vision, since matching exact shades is central to the work.

From enquiry to first job

Typically three to four months. Nothing is committed until the agreement is signed, and the deposit is refundable up to that point.

Questions people actually ask

A management service fee of 8% of the previous month’s invoiced turnover excluding VAT, starting in month four, with a minimum of £300 + VAT. The percentage falls to 7% above £14,000 monthly turnover and 6% above £24,000, and caps at £1,800 + VAT per territory.

A Citroën Berlingo or Dispatch or equivalent, silver or grey, and under five years old. Buying outright typically costs between £15,000 and £25,000 + VAT. Livery is included in the franchise fee.

Yes, and the financial projections assume you will for at least the first two years. Storage is not a barrier when you start — everything you need lives in the van.

Site hours are generally 08:00 to 16:00, Monday to Friday. Expect to work beyond that in the early years for admin, quoting, ordering, networking and the occasional weekend job.

Five years minimum. Minimum performance levels rise from £4,000 + VAT per month across months 4 to 12, up to £24,000 + VAT per month across months 49 to 60. If targets are not being met there is a minimum local marketing spend of £500 per month to help you get there.
