Looks interesting, dare I ask how you make money if all the money is for equipment as there seems to be no mention of monthly fee.

I take a % of turnover.  

Just to clarify, that's already taken into account in the "net earnings" figure, so the "net earnings" number is what the franchisee will get before income tax with all expenses taken into account.

I think it's a great opportunity for someone and well done for being able to offer it.

It's just not clear that you charge a monthly fee for the franchise.

Wow thats great to be able to support at least the 2 men pictured and be able to offer £25k of work to a potential franchisee.

How many franchisees do you have work for?

Well, that's a difficult one.

I choose shorts all year round because I'm not a soft Southern Jessie.  Trousers are included inthe uniform kit if preferred...

Not sure if this is a question but we have a waiting list of customers.

One of the guys in the picture is me - the devastatingly attractive one.  I'll be running a two man van as a franchisee of the franchise business (don't ask why) for the foreseeable future.

How many franchises available?  That's a difficult question, but based on our market size, practically, there isn't a limit we're going to hit in the next few years however many people we take on. 

There's a limit to how many new franchisees a year we could service properly - a core requirement for success - and there are at least ten years of customers at that maximum growth rate.

I think the point he makes is that the sentence does not make sense.

Correct sunshine.

"And" instead of "that" I think.

Surely its the number of cleaners that needs to increase  to accommodate the success? !

Yes, so he can service more customers. 

[Perfect Windows]

Without going into a textual exegesis of the sentence, the aim was to indicate "we are so successful that we need to do something about it," the "do something about it" being "increase the number of customers we can service".

However, it obviously reads badly, so thank you for pointing that out - I've reworded it.

Thanks,

Vin

I have.  And, more importantly, when I spoke to Ian we had very similar views, namely keep the franchisee happy and everything else will flow from that.

I don't mean to be "salesy" but, genuinely, my motive is that the better the franchisee does out of the business the longer they will be happy and the happier I will be.
