Agency Express franchise explain the benefits of a van business

The prospect of launching your own business can be daunting and with any new venture comes uncertainty and risk. One aspect of business that even the most prepared entrepreneur cannot guarantee is the security of achieving success. However franchise businesses benefit from higher success rates than standalone ventures, which is why many people now choose from the UK’s wide selection of franchising options.

If you are an individual considering the route of franchising but the thought of a premised based business seems a financial step too far, then a van based franchise opportunity could be suited to you and has many benefits.

Earning potential
Van based franchises are simple to operate and have a huge earning potential. As a van based franchisee you directly benefit from low overheads and low running costs as there there are no expensive premises costs and utilities. By removing the need for premises a higher profit margin can be achieved at a much quicker rate.

Freedom and flexibility
Owning a van based franchise can come with an element of freedom and flexibility. Being a home based or mobile business can allow for family friendly and flexible working hours.

Marketing on the go
Van franchises are one of the few franchise models that benefit from ‘Marketing on the go’. As a franchisee your vehicle will act as a means of local advertising, your business card and a website. As you travel to clients and go about your daily business, your van is your primary marking tool. Fully liveried vans are specially designed to promote and generate business via eye-catching graphics and images.

Room for growth
For larger investors some multiple vehicle offerings are available where franchisees will manage a fleet of several vehicles, but most van based franchises are suitable for individuals. A ‘single’ van based franchise is ‘owner operated’ and successfully functions on the premise. However over time as demand grows for your business or services and as turnover increases, additional vehicles and staffing could then be added to your territory to meet these requirements. However a van based franchise allows you the freedom to choose how you want to grow. Some franchisees may feel that a single van operation is sufficient where as others may seize the opportunity to expand as demand grows.

Once you have made decision to invest in to a van based franchise, selecting the right franchise model is crucial! Not only will it provide you with a clear business framework, but a proficient franchise will also provide you all with all the necessary training, daily support and guidance to support as you build your business. This significantly reduces the element of failure which safeguards your investment and provides the assurance needed throughout the early days of your business.
