New City Franchise Opportunity on whichfranchise.com

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.

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.

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”.

0800 Handyman Franchise Opportunity on whichfranchise.com
From Franchise Opportunities in the UK at WhichFranchise.com
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

A new breed of boundary fencing has landed in the UK from Australia and business is going from strength to strength.
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.
What does a Colourfence franchisee do?
You will follow our proven formula to establish and develop a Colourfence Sales and Installation service in your area which will allow you to:
- Generate customer enquiries
- Undertake surveys and produce accurate and professional estimates
- Obtain orders
- Install/supervise installation of Colourfence solutions to customer specification
- Actively market Colourfence via attendance at exhibitions, garden shows, etc.
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.
Available in four colours, with or without a decorative trellis, and in heights of up to 2m it can easily be cut to size on site and needs no routine maintenance.
As a Franchise owner you have access to this unique product at a significant discount off RSP, your own protected territory of 200,000 homes, and a commitment to match your local marketing expenditure from central funds.
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."

This means that the business owner who throught they did not need or cannot afford professional financial expertise can still have the support and insight they require to develop a successful business without the commitment or cost.
The whole business model has been engineered to deliver real value for a service rather than just a completed task and create complete customer satisfaction as a result by reducing the red tape and providing financial transparency to our clients with a portfolio of services that can be tailored for their individual needs.
