Starbrite is the proud UK manufacturer and distributor of high-quality cleaning chemicals. We specialise in supplying the following industries:

Having continually grown over the years, we offer a comprehensive product range with a rock-solid customer base built on consistent and frequent reordering cycles.

The simplicity of our business model is key to our success and is one of the major factors that draws so many people to us in their new careers. This can be as either a full-time Starbrite distributor or a business owner looking to add a new, exciting brand and a high profit opportunity to their existing portfolio.

STARBRITE’S ACHIEVEMENTS

The last few years have seen Starbrite expand across Europe, with several major milestones now under our belt, including:

• Czech Republic has grown from having just two employees to eight
• We recently rolled out into the Slovakian market, and we’re still expanding
• Our Eire distributor successfully transferred over to a new distributor with a significant uplift in sales

On top of all this, we have launched a new branding image for our vehicles in 2023. It marks a new chapter in the ongoing story of our expanding franchise network!

SUPPORTING YOU TO BE THE BEST

As a Starbrite distributor, you’ll receive all the necessary product training and ongoing support to achieve only the best standards for yourself and, most importantly, your clients.

We also offer Health & Safety support that is second to none, as well as technical and COSHH support.

You can rest assured we cover all bases so you can run your business your way, but never be alone when you need assistance or advice.

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A STARBRITE DISTRIBUTOR

Every day can be different from the last, but generally your role will involve keeping your mobile showroom stocked up for your planned route of clients for that day. You also have the freedom to stop in on or contact any businesses you think might be interested in joining your customer base.

It’s all about offering a professional service but also following your intuition when it comes to expanding your business and, by extension, the Starbrite brand. The more you succeed, the more we grow, so the more our franchisees – including you – enjoy the fruits of your labours.

FRANCHISEE REQUIREMENTS

We seek personable, driven and organised people with the determination to create their own client network.

This opportunity is for a distributor, so an initial investment is required to secure your territory and have the stock and support you’ll need.

You might be a company or individual that already possesses the following:

• A network of clients to whom you wish to offer more
• An established distribution/warehousing network
• Passion for creating further business opportunities
• Great business acumen, but you want to see personal results
• Previous knowledge of cleaning chemicals or the automotive, janitorial and catering industries.

You must have the following personal qualities:

• A solid determination to grow and succeed personally and professionally

• The ability to develop and grow a network of your own clients
• The confidence to converse with a wide range of individuals and businesses.
