Van based franchises
UK van based franchise opportunities
Van-based franchises use a branded vehicle that the franchisee conducts their business from. Traditionally, van-based franchises operate in blue-collar sectors such as:
- plumbing
- vehicle care
- delivery services
- cleaning
- courier delivery, etc
Buying a van-based franchise does not always mean that you have to drive the vehicle yourself and some van-based opportunities offer a system where the franchisee can co-ordinate or manage a fleet of several vehicles at the same time. As you can imagine, the start-up costs for a multi-vehicle operation are greater than if you purchase a single vehicle, although the potential rewards are also much bigger. You can also start small and grow your business over time – potentially adding additional vehicles to your territory to meet an increasing demand for your products or services.
As you travel to meet potential clients, the branding on your franchise vehicle is designed to generate product sales through its eye-catching graphics, images and slogans. Owners of a van-based franchise will benefit from being part of a larger network. Being involved in this type of network means that potentially hundreds of vehicles are on the road at the same time promoting the parent brand and generating sales for you.
Van based franchises are suitable for individuals and are also particularly favourable for couples.
Some of the biggest benefits of van based franchises include:
- The freedom of driving
- Generate new business while you drive
- Low cost base as the vehicle is often available on a lease-basis
