The
All Trades Network Franchise offers a building
repair service to insurance companies. The UK insurance industry is
the largest in Europe and the third largest in the world*. It pays
out a staggering £74 million per working day in general
insurance claims (this figure excludes life assurance
benefits).
Insurance companies value the
convenience of having one reliable point of contact. Our reputation
is based on our accurate and honest appraisal of the works required
and our ability to provide first-class tradesmen to carry out those
works. It follows that insurers choose to deal repeatedly with a
company delivering such good service, aiding their own policy
renewal rate.
All Trades fulfills this
requirement.
Tried and Tested
The
company on which the network is based, All Trades (GB) Ltd, was
formed in Lancashire in November 2002. During the first two years
of operation, the company experienced a cumulative turnover in
excess of £3 million. The founding partners, Keith Roberts,
Clifford Whitehead and Michael Gibson, have over 25 years combined
experience of the insurance claim generated building repair market.
They are fully conversant with its business cycle and the
importance of solid relationships with the insurance
companies.
It is this strong strategic relationship, which All Trades is
developing into anational response coverage through franchised
partners. To support this, our franchising arm, All Trades
(Network) Ltd., was formed in 2004.
The Opportunity
The All Trades
opportunity is essentially a Management Franchise
Work instructions are received at our Central Head Office and
administered to the Franchisee by geographical area. It is the
Franchisee's role to manage their team and fulfil the needs of the
insured parties and the insurance companies.
From the outset, each new instruction is treated as an opportunity
to provide frank, honest advice and we are committed to providing
an efficient service and good workmanship. The tradesmen doing the
work have to be skilled and trustworthy, ensuring the insurance
company can provide a twelve-month guarantee on the work.
The earnings potential
Franchisee earnings are dependent on the combined efforts and
tenacity of the franchisee and the franchisor. Insurance approved
repair schedules allow a healthy margin provided time scales are
adhered to. Enquirers will be provided with income projections and
other financial details to enable them to discuss the opportunity
with their professional advisors.
The start-up costs
Prospective Franchisees will be required to invest £35,000
plus working capital provision for an agreed franchised territory.
A complete breakdown of this investment will be supplied to
qualified applicants. Details of the Franchise Package will also be
supplied.
Training
We will provide training in all aspects of running an All Trades
Franchise. The All Trades Operations Manual, on loan to Franchisees
for the duration of their trading licence, outlines our business
practices. These skills and procedures, along with determination
and an ability to communicate at all levels, are key to a
successful All Trades business.

developed to fulfil the specific requirements and needs of All
