Franchise Opportunity    

 

Lawn & Weed Expert Franchises are now available.  Start your own business in your own area.

Lawn & Weed Expert can train and support you to develop your own successful Lawn Care business.
For the right person, a Lawn & Weed Expert franchise will give you a healthy financial and working lifestyle.

We are not a company that is interested in just selling and managing franchises. We are an active lawn care company that has thousands of our own customers whose lawns we continue to treat every day. It is our intention to continue to treat our customers, allowing us to keep pace with the changing demands of the market.   By constantly working alongside our franchisees, experiencing and meeting the challenges of the market head on, we can develop new methods and initiatives to meet these challenges.

All staff at Lawn & Weed Expert are regularly involved in the hands on day to day detail of the business.

Why should you buy a lawn care franchise?

Low start up costs. A relatively small investment of several thousand pounds can result in a turnover of several hundred thousand pounds with significant profits. We know it can be done because we have done it and continue to do it!

Market size. The size of the potential market is enormous and more and more households are switching from DIY to using lawn care companies. Lawn & Weed Expert have access to the products, knowledge, training, techniques and equipment that produce a greener, healthier looking lawn. The demand for our services is recession-resistant. Weeds, moss and grass continue to grow and require attention whatever the state of the economy.

Great lifestyle. Work from home if you wish. Once you have developed your business you will wish you had started several years ago.  Depending on your ambition you can eventually develop the business into a multi-vehicle operation and have several operators working for you.

This business is not seasonal - in fact, the autumn and winter can be some of our busiest times.

What makes Lawn & Weed Expert different from the majority of franchisors?

Several companies offering lawn care franchises have very slick web sites, plush offices and fancy marketing but appear to be more focussed on generating sales volumes and royalties at the expense of real profits for you, the franchisee.

Many franchises have a 10% royalty/marketing fee. The 10 % fee remains the same irrespective of the size of your turnover.

Lawn & Weed Expert want you to grow your business without being penalised by excessive royalty fees.  We are focussed on ensuring that your business is profitable for you.  We base our royalties on a sliding scale the higher your sales the lower the % royalties. Franchisees have an incentive to grow their business.

Lawn & Weed Expert also know from experience that the first few months are the hardest and we allow our franchisees a royalty holiday for the first 3 months.

Motivated Franchisees who follow our methods should expect to generate sales of at least £40,000 in their first year.

The method that some franchisors teach you to treat lawns is based on the assumption that a small range of services is all that a lawn requires. This is patently a huge mistake as weather and soil conditions are different across the country.

Certain Franchisees restrict the range of products you can buy and use to treat lawns.  Some will also insist you only buy products through the franchisor.

Many franchisors also have an inflexible attitude to the services / products their franchisees can offer to their customers.

Lawn & Weed Expert Ltd will show you how to offer a wider range of services that attract customers. In addition to offering more services that are relevant and match the services lawn care customers really want, you will also receive as part of your franchise package the right to a Taylor Total Weed Control Ltd (TTWC) franchise. 

TTWC is the commercial side of our business that provides weed control services and grounds maintenance services for commercial and industrial customers. We will ensure that you have the skills, knowledge and Health & Safety procedures to qualify for these larger contracts with local authorities, Hotels & businesses. Many franchises available on the market do not encourage their franchisees to carry out commercial work despite it being a potentially large market.

Working Hours & Lifestyle

You can start up on a part time basis until you feel comfortable doing it full time. We started working from home ourselves in the early years.

We are not just a company that is interested in selling franchises to anyone. We have developed our business over several years and have many successful areas and thousands of residential and commercial customers who continue to allow us to treat their lawns and premises on a regular basis.

Perhaps you have thought of giving up working indoors, getting away from the politics and stress of an office environment and working for yourself in a simple healthy environment.

If you are not frightened of running your own business, you are hard working and relish the idea of working outdoors then a lawn care franchise could be just the right move for you.

The lawn care industry is reporting steady growth in demand despite the economic downturn.  It really is an exciting opportunity that could give you the quality of life you have been looking for.  You need to be in reasonable health, although the work is not too heavy and suits both men and women.

Horticultural skills are not necessary since full training and continual support from our team is available at all times.  An interest in gardening is useful and being a people person is a great benefit as you will quickly learn that your customers trust you and actually look forward to seeing you. Some basic administrative skills would also be advantageous but we can train you in all areas of the business.

The business is very hands-on and at times demanding, but it is also extremely rewarding as you see your customer base grow. You will find you steadily build relationships with all of your customers who really do trust you to help improve their lawns and recommend you to their friends and neighbours.
