Growth across the board
With business up by an average 20% for its network of franchisees, 2007 has been another great year for Agency Express.
As the UK’s only nationwide board servicing company, Agency Express is the clear market leader. The company has experienced outstanding growth over the last few years and now has a network of 96 established franchisees. In 2007 so far, 17 new franchisees have started businesses with Agency Express, attracted by the excellent earning potential and one of the most comprehensive packages and support programs in the franchise business.
Franchisees have recently launched their businesses in a number of new territories across the UK and Ireland, including Humberside, Shropshire, Fife, Co. Antrim, Clare and Limerick. Five new franchisees have made the most of re-sale opportunities and benefited from existing business in their territories.
Business opportunity
At any one time there are an estimated 1.5 million ‘For Sale’ and ‘To Let’ boards on display, equating to a business worth £20 million per year. With 23% of all UK estate agency offices now using Agency Express to erect and maintain their ‘For Sale’ boards, that means as many as 4,600 individual board movements per day across the network.
“During 2007, we’ve launched a new enhanced package for our franchisees. It combines the latest technology and specialist equipment with other added-value support benefits to ensure the best chance of success,” said Stephen Watson, Agency Express founder and Managing Director. “The package includes a computer with the company’s new SignMaster system, which allows estate agents to order their board work online and dramatically reduces paperwork. In fact, with invoicing and debt chasing being handled at head office, all admin is kept to a minimum.”
Enhanced franchise package
For an investment of £18,500 (plus reclaimable VAT), the franchisee receives a 10-year Licence for his own protected territory, along with a host of other benefits. The package includes the deposit paid on a new Renault Master van – which now has the extra benefit of satellite navigation. The comprehensive 8-day training program covers initial marketing and business launch for each territory.
It’s a proven business concept with top earners turning over in excess of £140,000 per year and, as a van-based business, low overheads mean increased profitability. With an enhanced start-up package and the opportunity for excellent returns, it’s a great time to join the Agency Express network.
