Mobile Body Shop Management Franchise
Revive! was founded in 2004 by business partners, Mark Llewellyn and Terry Mullen, building on their previous experience in the automotive and financial sectors to form the Revive! brand. We’ve grown from humble beginnings and a single van into a nationwide network of businesses and a multi-award-winning brand. We’re proud to be at the forefront of mobile paint repair, leading the way for others to follow.
But we’re about much more than just vehicles.
Although we’re in the business of SMART repairs, we’re also in the business of changing lives. Because that’s the power this franchise holds: the power to take you from where you are now to where you dream of being later.
‘Take control of your future with your own business in a thriving sector’
Turn a £25K investment into a business with £1m+ annual sales, proven by multiple existing franchisees. Network sales were up over 15% in 2024 – demand is exceptional.
Revive! franchisees manage their own team of technicians who repair damage to car paintwork including bumper scuffs, minor chips and the refurbishment of alloy wheels.
Start with two techs and grow from there.
There’s more demand than supply!
With c.34 million cars in the UK and over 50% having minor body work and wheel damage, it makes sense to invest in the market leading brand for your new business.
Fewer staff, lower costs, less stress!
Business model based on a low number of skilled employees doing a small number of high-value jobs daily – minimising travel / fuel.
Work from your home/office
Enjoy your dream lifestyle working from home, combined with getting out to manage your team of technicians and build dealer relationships.
The best brand for your business
Operate with a 5-star reputation for excellence from day 1; award-winning marketing support; a bespoke app; mentoring; and like-minded fellow franchisees.
Your role:
You won’t be painting cars, you’ll be managing your team of technicians, driving your marketing, and building relationships with local dealers to grow your business.
If you’re looking to paint cars, this isn’t the business for you. This is a management franchise, where you employ a small team of skilled technicians who we will help you to recruit.
Your fleet of vans will be fitted out to the highest standards, providing your technicians with state-of-the-art mobile workshops.
That leaves you to focus firmly on business expansion: local marketing to car owners; building relationships with local trade customers; motivating and developing your team; and adding further vans when the time is right to grow.
Your customers:
Covering both trade (car dealerships, fleet & lease companies, insurance companies) and retail (general public) customers, your technicians will use advanced and innovative products to produce quality repairs at a fraction of the cost of a bodyshop. Trade customers value the quality and ease of service provided, while individuals love the convenience of a mobile service that comes to them, at home or at work.
Your support:
Benefit from the best marketing and our bespoke IT platform to manage your business. Our business is to help you in yours. The support we offer our franchisees continually evolves as our network grows.
We’re proud that it has been recognised with many industry awards, including the prestigious Gold Franchisor of the Year accolade at the BFA HSBC Franchise Awards 2022 and their Leadership & Culture Award in 2023. We’ve achieved the 5 Star Franchisee Satisfaction award from Workbuzz for the last 5 years and feature at number 10 in the Elite Franchise Top 100 franchises.
Your training:
Initial training for new franchisees is comprehensive, covering all aspects of the business, including technical awareness training so you know what is expected of your technicians.
Our extensive ongoing training programme includes a wide range of business training workshops and masterclasses including sales, financials, leadership and people-management, as well as on-going courses for technicians at our IMI (Institute of the Motor Industry) accredited training centre.
How much does a Revive! franchise cost?
You’ll need to invest £25,000 of your own capital, plus funding, to start your Revive! management franchise. Total investment including working capital is around £60,000 and in your first quarter of trading, you can reclaim all VAT costs back – typically around £17,000 after the franchisee fee, vans and equipment are included.
We have excellent relationships with high-street banks and other lenders – they have historical evidence of our franchise model and its profitability for franchisees, which is why they are happy to fund up to 70% of the total financial investment.
We will introduce you to lenders and help you obtain any funding you require, subject to status.
