A business you can build for life

We help you grow a profitable, professional business, built on consistent demand and genuine local need. With warranty work coming through from major brands and tools in place to build your own customer base, you’ll get a flying start – with room to grow.

  • Start your business with just £15,000: Low start-up costs, minimal risk and a step-by-step launch plan that’s been refined over 20+ years.
  • The tech and tools to build a smooth-running, sustainable business: Purpose-built software and systems remove admin headaches, keeping your business running efficiently, day in-day out.
  • Real people, real impact: From saving families the cost of replacing an appliance, to helping businesses get back on track when things break – this is practical, purposeful work with real impact.

You’ll be your community’s go-to appliance expert, arriving in a fully branded van that acts as your mobile operating unit, offering services including:

  • Repairs to washing machines, tumble dryers, cookers, dishwashers, fridges, & more
  • Appliance inspections & installations
  • Replacement parts & servicing
  • Emergency & warranty work.

Offering domestic customers and commercial clients a range of services, you become an essential part of keeping homes and businesses running smoothly.

Full power ahead – a thriving market

In an environmentally and financially conscious marketplace, customers are choosing to repair over replace. And we’ve been leading the way in this field for over two decades.

The demand for our services is unquestionable. There are 26 million UK households with approximately four appliances in each – that’s 104 million appliances that could potentially require repairs. A whopping 176 million of UK appliances are now outside of the manufacturer’s warranty period1.

As a franchise partner, you’ll be allocated a territory of approx. 130,000 households. That’s around half a million appliances to potentially work on.

With average monthly turnover of £10,000+ as a sole operator, you’ll build solid foundations. Bring on extra engineers, expand into multiple territories and that number can increase significantly.
