Access4Lofts - Home Improvement Franchise

“Our business opportunity is simple, refined and proven. We have all operated successfully as franchisees ourselves, so we know exactly what support you will need to grow your Access4Lofts business to the size and scale of your ambition. How long that takes is totally up to you – we are here and committed to supporting you throughout your entire business journey.” – Tim Brown, Co-Founder

Our franchisees have chosen two distinct approaches to building their Access4lofts businesses and you can too, depending on your personal situation, ambition and work-life desires:

1. OWNER-OPERATOR

Proven to generate £120K+ sales with 40%+ net profit within 24 months.

Complete one job per day over a four-day week, spend the fifth day on business development. Work around your other life commitments.

To become a successful Access4Lofts owner-operator you need:

• to be great with customers.
• some basic DIY competence.
• to follow the proven system.
• the ambition to grow your business.

2. MANAGEMENT BUSINESS

Proven to generate £300K+ sales with 35%+ net profit with two staff.

The franchisee works on developing the business, employing and managing fitters that do the majority of the installation work.

To build a successful Access4Lofts management business you need:

• to be a great communicator.
• ideally some management experience.
• ambition to grow a multi-van business.
• extra finance to invest in your team initially.

How much do I need to invest?

An initial investment of £29,950 + VAT is required to setup and establish your new business. We will provide you a detailed breakdown of where this money is spent, rest assured it is far better value than starting up on your own as an independent!

As a franchisee, you will receive completely tailored ongoing support to help you on your path to reaching your goals. If you are practical, we support you on the business side and if you have business experience we train you on the practical side.

Do I need to be a DIY expert to run an Access4Lofts franchise?

You do not need to have DIY skills or any professional training. During the included training course, you’ll learn everything you need to know about installations. Previous franchisees have been from the building sector as well as unrelated sectors like retail and accounting.

You will need to have a basic understanding of DIY, but the extent of your knowledge does not have to be far-reaching. If you are concerned about your lack of experience, get in contact with the head office to ask specific questions.

You need to be in reasonable physical health to do the installs. Top physical shape is unnecessary, but your work will require handling power tools and going up and down ladders.

Access4Lofts has owners in their twenties all the way to their fifties - your age is not an issue.
