I think I've seen Allkare before, when I was looking at starting in the industry myself.

£10,000 license fee
£13,470 equipment fee - For a Texatherm unit, a vacuum, a sebo duo (probably), and a wand with 10m of hose. I hope their all made of solid gold for that money!
AND
£550 a month 'Marketing fee'

All plus the dreaded, of course.

That's a lot of money to earn before you starting hitting a profit.

I'm out!

I have never come across any one that has a franchise with them but I think they have a similar model to Servicemaster where by they will then try and sell you the restoration package seperately.

The package is in fact £28,164.00 inc vat, Equipment and License no vehicle is metioned that would have to be factored in along with all the usuals.

The advert is misleading it mentions 'potential' earnings of £1400.00 per week it may as well say £5000 per week means nothing, where's the evidence ?

£1400 is £72800 per year yet along side it says secure a 'potential' income of £40k or £770.00 per week  

So what is it ?

You would not earn that any way as fees (not mentioned) would have to come off or are they saying you will be paying £32800 per annum in fees ?
