Garden Lodges® Franchise Opportunity
Unlock your true potential with Garden Lodges®
Garden Lodges® is a Management Franchise in the contemporary modular building sector. We provide an exciting range of next generation habitable garden offices and lifestyle buildings that are factory built to perfection, with hundreds of happy customers across the UK.
The Garden Lodges® Franchise package provides you with absolutely everything you need to set up and run your very own Garden Lodges® business, including a showroom worth approx 50% of the franchise package cost.
The Market
We are servicing 2 core markets; garden offices for homeworking, and lifestyle buildings for the home improvement sector. Both markets are buoyant and very much in their infant stages. The market for home working is growing at a rapid rate, with a recent survey revealing that 8 million people are operating commercially from home. Our products provide a comfortable, secure and professional working environment without the usual distractions associated with working from home. This allows you to separate your office from your living space and regain one of the rooms in your home, bringing balance back to your work life.
In addition to the homeworking market, the home improvement sector is worth £12bn. The combination of high property prices and the substantial cost and inconvenience of moving merely to gain extra space is no longer a viable option for most people. Our products typically cost less than an extension or a loft conversion, add significant value to your house, and are completed in a fraction of the time, giving you high-tech living space fast, and with minimal disruption, usually without the need for planning permission.
We also work with nationwide house builders and property developers in the UK. Our products add value to new developments and provide differentiation in a slow and competitive property market. Our new range of Marketing Suites also offer a compelling and viable alternative to traditional portable offices.
Why It Works
A Garden Lodges® franchise business has great economics. The model works because it addresses the geographical constraints associated with our nationwide sales process. It also eliminates certain additional costs not relevant on a local level, therefore increasing our competitiveness. We have structured the framework to foster a lean, low overhead operation, with predictable marketing, no stock holding, and efficient use of sub-contacted installers.
Our network of customers are usually happy to show off their building to prospective clients, but this is not always a practical solution. A professional showroom owned and operated by a Garden Lodges® Franchisee is far more effective and impactful. We provide a complete showroom display package including posters, window displays, A-board, flagpole, banners and other eye catching signage.
We will help you identify a busy, high foot traffic location for your showroom. This will provide an additional level of lead generation through regular foot traffic, to support your local awareness campaigns and our national marketing campaigns. We recommend using a local garden centre, as site rental is typically low. Your showroom will be installed onto a steel base making it completely re-locatable, so you have the option to move at any time.
Our well developed SIP prefabrication process has been designed to produce flat-pack versions of our product range. Your dedicated team of fully trained and certified subcontractors complete the installation process, leaving you free to focus on building your business. Because our product range is pre-fabricated off-site and the process is systematic, on-site installation is fast so consistent profit margins are maintained.
Training & Support
The training package deals with all elements of our business regardless of your prior experience, and includes key modules such as product knowledge, site surveys, design, CRM, IT, logistics, and all other operating procedures. Franchisees also receive ongoing support, and we are committed to helping you grow your business.
Earning Possibilities
Unlike many other Franchise opportunities, you don’t pay heavy monthly license fees and the basic business model is relatively low overhead and lean.
Our model is very profitable and the Garden Lodges® Franchise business framework gives you the opportunity to realise your ambitions and achieve financial security. Whatever your ambitions, we’ll help you to develop your business to its full potential.
