“Fast Start – Low Cost” is GutterPRO’s ethos. In fact, the franchisor states that it is realistic for a new franchisee to trade profitably from the first month. However, it’s also expected that as franchisees become established and they take on more complex commercial jobs, often in excess of £500, they have the potential to earn more. In addition to all this, GutterPRO is so confident that new franchisees will get off to a fast start so much so that they offer the “£5,000 turnover guarantee”, during the first three months. What’s more, to make their lives and jobs much easier, as part of the GutterPRO formula, franchisees can also make use of a clever booking app to avoid undue downtime.
Who Are They Looking For?
Although no specific background or experience is required of franchisees, the nature of the jobs means that you will be physically active and you should also be willing to work outdoors.
The Cost
The GutterPRO franchise opportunity involves a low cost investment of £10,850 + VAT for a single van operation. The initial fee includes all the equipment, tech, van wrap, marketing launch, “£5,000 fast start guarantee”, training and on-site support. In addition, the initial licence fee also includes all marketing for the first three months plus training and support. Multi-van management operations go for £14,850. It is estimated that a typical GutterPRO job generates £120 of revenue with franchisees targeting two to three jobs per day. As a result, the earnings potential has been estimated to be in the region of £64,500 a year.
Funding
GutterPRO makes it easy for new franchisees to acquire funding with the possibility to access up to 100% funding via the Government’s Start-up Loans Scheme.
