About Us

Accelerator franchise…driving business forward
 

Founded in 2003, Accelerator is the UK’s only one-stop-shop and fastest growing provider of business level hosted IT and Telecom Solutions to the SME market.
 
  • Accelerator is the 1st to offer a full range of business level hosted IT and Telecom services from one central supplier and in a local environment.
  • Accelerator is also the 1st to offer this type of business (Hosted IT and Telecoms) as a franchise.
 
With over 25 years experience in providing top quality managed IT and Telecoms services with unmatchable customer service and support, Accelerator franchise has grown to become a strong contender in the hosted services market.
 
We now want to give other business professionals the opportunity to leave the 9-5 and work for themselves. Accelerator head office and their franchisees use all the services they offer, making them their own success story, so they literally self-promote the portfolio as they offer it to others.
 
IT is changing – why time is right for an Accelerator franchise
 

Accelerator have turned IT on its head and deliver the latest hassle free technology and features in IT and telecom solutions (which large companies spend millions on), via a broadband connection for a small quarterly fee.
 
Fully supported, fully licensed, continuously updated and no large upfront costs for servers or other hardware, plus NO ongoing spiralling IT support costs…you can see why Accelerator is the preferred choice for many.
 
These are hassle free, business level, robust IT and telecom solutions that just work and come with a 99.9% guarantee or your money back. This enables individuals and employees to work more efficiently using Accelerator services that plug and play from any broadband connection in the world.
 
Accelerator's hosted services allow small businesses to compete more effectively, helping them to be more profitable. By outsourcing IT and telecoms it leaves the business owner more time to focus on what is core to their business and employees to be more efficient and effective. Treating IT like a utility is the future.

Training and Support

How we train and support you all the way
 

"The initial training exceeded my expectations.  Every aspect of running the business was covered in meticulous detail with a professional approach. I am starting my business knowing that there is a full support structure backing me and doing everything possible to help me succeed. The products and services are fantastic; I can recommend them with complete confidence knowing that they will deliver real benefits". Accelerator franchisee
 
At Accelerator we pride ourselves on the high level of training and continued support we give to our franchisees.
 
All Accelerator franchisees benefit from a top class 1 week residential training course to learn all you need to know about business development, motivation, customer relationship management and more. The training is run by professional trainers and thereafter it is practically managed by our team of IT professionals, who provide excellent knowledge and support including full product training.
 
Launch of your Accelerator franchise
 
During the comprehensive training we work with you to plan and implement a bespoke marketing plan for you which will begin generating brand awareness. We will plan the entire initial advertising launch and even work with you in the field to acquire your first customers.
 

On-going support
 
Once you are up and running it is important to understand that you are not alone and you have the benefit of our continued support.
 
All customer billing and technical advice is centralised at the Accelerator head office in Winchester, Hampshire. Therefore this allows you the franchisee to concentrate on customers and building your business portfolio.
 
After you initial training week you will have a Franchise Development Manager visit you in your area to help you get started with your first few meetings. You will also return to the training academy at 30, 60 and 90 days after your initial week to review your development and iron out any serious issues before it's too late.
 
We understand the importance of networking so we regularly arrange regional meetings across the UK, hold seminars, and organise training workshops to keep all franchisees up to date, informed and motivated to make the most out of their business. If our franchisees are happy then we are happy so we do our utmost to provide as good a service to our franchisees as our products do to our customers.
