Profile

Earn £150,000+ a year with this multi-award winning and recession-proof franchise

Dream Doors is the UK's largest kitchen makeover brand, with almost 100 showrooms throughout the country. You don’t need any previous experience to run a franchise like this, but you will need a strong work ethic and willingness to learn. And if you have that, you’ll quickly start earning a SIX FIGURE INCOME with this multi award-winning, full BFA member franchise.

The home improvement sector is thriving, and with the Dream Doors unique business model your earnings are futureproofed too. Annual net profits of £150,000+ are being achieved right now, so you can rest assured that, if you work hard, you’ll earn a substantial income for years to come.

What’s brought you to this site today?

  • Do you want to escape your job and take control of your future?
  • Be the boss and be in control of your future?
  • Have you decided that time with family is the most important thing?
  • Would you like to work closer to home, but not be at home every day!
  • Or are you looking for a fresh start after redundancy or a business sale?

You can have all of this running your own local Dream Doors franchise.

And you DON'T NEED any kitchen industry experience or practical skills.

Your future is safe with Dream Doors

Average annual sales from a franchised showroom are now £750,000+. And that can deliver you a six-figure income. Follow our proven business model, though, and you’ll achieve MORE THAN £1MILLION in yearly turnover, enjoying much higher earnings as a result of that growth.

With around 80% of jobs bought by people aged 60+, Dream Doors has a growing core customer base that has the most disposable income, but is less affected by economic uncertainty or job cuts.

 
 

 

Brand turnover has trebled in the last five years with like-for-like sales increasing every year. And despite the pandemic and cost-of-living crisis, the network have recorded some stellar individual monthly performances:

£149,552 by Worcester in January

£137,729 by Gloucester in February

£105,930 by Cambridge in May

£105,115 by Swansea in June

£202,155 by Stirling in July

Top of the tree last year were David & Kate Howle of Dream Doors Worcester who sold £1.7Million – and a total of more than £7 Million in their first 5 years!

Industry-leading training and support

Most people buy a franchise for help and support. And to get going quickly while minimising costly mistakes! That’s why you'll receive a 13-week induction programme – covering all aspects of running a successful kitchen business – that gets you out selling and making money from the outset.

You’ll also have regular, ongoing visits from a dedicated in-territory support manager experienced in kitchens, sales, finance and business coaching.

Plus, we’ll help you find the perfect kitchen installation team who, typically, work on a sub-contracted basis. This means you can focus on meeting your customers and making more sales.

Dream Doors only earns when you do

Dream Doors only gets paid when you make a sale, through management services fees which are reduced once annual targets are met. This means the more you sell, the less you pay. And, of course, you only pay when you’ve been paid!

What to do next

If you are motivated and comfortable in a sales and managerial role – with approximately £35,000 in liquid start-up capital (additional funding is available) – we’d love to hear from you.
