The Opportunity
Growth, growth and more growth. If that’s what you’re looking for from your next franchise, here’s a rare opportunity to snap up an established business that’s crying out for a new owner to exploit its full potential.
Despite being surrounded by schools with marketing needs and budgets in a wealthy part of the country, promotional goods supplier Recognition Express Guildford hasn’t even attempted to sell to them, which leaves a highly lucrative opportunity for its new owner.
And, decades into the internet age, the business still does no local online marketing, giving the new owner an easy win for relatively little effort and the chance to enjoy a significant increase in profitability.
With the current franchisee about to retire for family reasons, Recognition Express Guildford is consistently successful with that so-hard-to-find growth potential just sitting there on a plate for the next owner.
Home-based with no employees, the franchise enjoys a ton of repeat business due to the retiring owner’s network of contacts, and there’s an option to increase profitability even further by investing in a machinery package and manufacturing goods instead of merely sourcing them.
The Franchise
Recognition Express, a significant player in the £3 billion-a-year branded corporate goods industry, has blue-chip clients including British Airways, McDonald’s, First, Jewson, Papa John’s, Marriott, Compass Group, The Salvation Army, and Citroën.
It began supplying personalised products and branded corporate merchandise in 1979 and was recognised as Franchisor Of The Year in the British Franchise Association’s prestigious awards scheme in 2003.
Its franchisees are all well-known in their local business community and tap into a pipeline of national leads from Recognition Express HQ.
The company is an accredited member of the British Promotional Merchandise Association, a full member of the British Franchise Association, and an accredited member of the British Association For Print & Communication.
Franchisees praise it for the support it offers as a significant player in this highly lucrative business sector.
Summary
An exceptionally rare opportunity to take over a thriving franchise with demonstrable and enviable scope for growth, simply by exploiting markets on its doorstep and boosting its local online presence. The Guildford franchise of Recognition Express is already profitable but could be so much more lucrative in the right hands. Don’t let it slip through yours!
