The Opportunity
Supplying premium products to people who can easily afford them – then selling more to their neighbours who want to keep up with the Joneses – makes this a very attractive proposition for anyone interested in stability and growth potential.
The territory, the jewel in the crown of which is the World Heritage City of Bath, is full of well-heeled people whose day-to-day life is unaffected by the cost-of-living crisis and can afford to indulge their good taste by buying premium-quality blinds, plantation shutters and awnings for their showpiece homes.
Even global warming promises a sunny outlook for this business, as Britain’s ever-hotter Summers and regularly-broken temperature records has made the franchise’s latest offering of classy awnings even more relevant and sought-after.
The business has gone ever so slightly off the boil as the owner for 10 years eases into retirement, providing an even bigger opportunity for the new owner to build up sales, increase profits, and plan for growth by adding extra vans and self-employed installers to meet the demand.
The ideal purchaser will be very personable and able to do the surveys, sales and installations single-handedly at first – as many franchisees in the network do – then buying in help to take its much-in-demand products out to even more parts of this enviable territory.
The Franchise
Shuttercraft supplies premium-quality blinds, shutters and awnings to house-proud people with excellent taste and the disposable to indulge it freely.
Its non-pushy sales policy endears it to customers who know they won’t be put under any pressure to buy, resulting in very high conversion rates.
Shuttercraft only sells and installs its own S-Craft products, with franchisees acting initially as owner-operators who singlehandedly take enquiries, measure up and then install the blinds, shutters, or awnings, giving customers continuity and confidence in the process from start to finish.
This is a rare opportunity to take on an already successful franchise in one of the most promising territories in the UK: the World Heritage City of Bath, plus the rest of Somerset including Taunton, Chippenham and Wells, plus a string of villages renowned for their wealthy inhabitants.
Summary
Adding a wow-factor to the windows of the Waitrose Set feels like pushing at an open door when you’re in one of the wealthiest franchise territories in the UK, as they can afford anything you offer, they have the good taste to appreciate the premium quality, and if they’re not the Joneses themselves, they’re determined to keep up with them. And with global warming only increasing the desire for shade, there’s significant scope to grow a business that specialises in blinds, window shutters and awnings.
