Increased earning potential...

So many of today's franchises are restrictive when it comes to potential clients. But a Chemex franchise is different.

Our franchisees' customers come from all industries, not least catering, hotels, nursing homes, manufacturing and the motor trade. Whatever area of the UK you live in, there are hundreds of potential clients local to you.

"I like having that kind of choice of industries to sell to," admits Steve. "It means that wherever a franchisee feels the most comfortable, that's where he can focus on if he wants to."

Great support team...

Initial training and ongoing support are an essential part of every Chemex franchise. Steve, for example, had some previous sales experience, but the area of cold-calling was completely new to him:

"Before I went into banking, I was involved in sports equipment sales. Even so, the thought of cold-calling was pretty daunting for me. But I can honestly say the training and support offered by Chemex from day one transformed my confidence. I felt inspired to succeed, and that's exactly what's happened."

Steve now has an established business and an ever-growing list of loyal and satisfied customers.

The freedom of choice...

"My working day is now a complete contrast to the previously dull routine I used to endure," explains Steve. "I really enjoy being out and about, meeting people, making new contacts and, crucially, working the hours that suit me and my lifestyle."

For anybody used to the tedium of a nine-to-five routine, a Chemex franchise can be a breath of fresh air. It's hard work, but so rewarding too. And it's a business that can be tailored to your needs and your expectations.

"I particularly like the way the business is vehicle-based," says Steve, "which means I'm in different locations every day of the working week. I can't imagine being tied down to one workplace now."

Excellent value for money...

For any potential franchisee, value for money is a major consideration. A Chemex franchise offers relatively low fixed overheads and with a clearly defined territory to focus on, you know you're getting maximum opportunities - and exclusivity - for your investment.

Established for 18 years, Chemex's full membership of the BFA offers reassurance that here's a franchise which really works.

With this much affordability, ongoing support and a fantastic and ever-expanding product range on offer, no wonder a Chemex franchise is such a popular choice.
