A totally free lawn care franchise - that's the offer made recently by Countrywide Lawn Doctor - and, unsurprisingly, it's generated a massive response from applicants throughout the UK! More than that, though, the no-cost franchise deal has attracted people from all sorts of different personal and commercial backgrounds.

"We've been amazed at the wide range of people who've shown interest in our free franchise," says Simon Stott, Managing Director of the Countrywide Group. "But what they've had in common is a real passion to make a success of franchising, plus they've spotted a unique money-making business opportunity with us!"

Previous experience not required
Countrywide reports a particularly positive response from middle and senior managers in white-collar jobs, plus people who are looking for a change in career and lifestyle - as well as interest from others who are looking for a job that involves working in the great outdoors.

"It doesn't matter whether or not you've already had experience in lawn care," says Simon, "because we provide all our new franchisees with comprehensive theoretical and practical training to ensure that they're thoroughly up to speed with the latest lawn care science and techniques."

An impressive response - but profitable territories still available
Many hundreds of people have so far responded to the free franchise offer which, as well as full training, also includes all necessary lawn equipment, computer software, uniforms, stationery and licence fee. "We're processing new applications every day," says Simon, "and we're currently conducting informal meetings every week.

"To date we have around 20 planned franchise operations under negotiation - and whilst many rewarding territories have already been snapped up, we've carefully planned our nationwide network so as to ensure that there's still an excellent choice available throughout the UK."

An ideal business opportunity - without excessive financial demands Which ever franchise area they choose, Countrywide Lawn Doctor franchisees have an excellent opportunity to build a major business without the pressure of excessive financial demands coming in before they've started earning. "Our franchisees only have to find their own working capital for the start-up operation," adds Simon. "Everything else is covered by us, which gives people an unmissable opportunity to start their own business without an excessive debt burden or the need to use up large amounts of hard-earned personal capital."

Another major benefit for Countrywide Lawn Doctor franchisees is the fact that virtually all customers renew their yearly lawn maintenance contracts on an ongoing basis, ensuring business continuity and regular year-on-year profits.
