Prokill Franchise Opportunity
‘The Pest profession in the world!’
Prokill is the first and most highly accredited comprehensive pest control franchise in the UK, with a goal to become a household name throughout the country in the next five years.
Prokill aims to lift the image of the industry, way beyond the ‘life of grime’ reputation prevalent with smaller businesses, into a professional highly accredited and recognized name that is setting standards wherever it operates. With ISO9001 accreditation, BPCA, Exor, SAFEcontractor and Link-Up status, as well as being one of the only recognized examiners for the Royal Society for Promotion of Health, Prokill hopes to rise head and shoulders over any local competition.
Geoff Whittle, Head of Development at Prokill emphasizes that, “We’re looking for management-style individuals with the potential to develop and manage a significant portfolio of business that covers virtually every type of property in the land. We want people with an aim beyond ‘man and van’ mindset, more with a ‘man that can’ – one who will control and guide a team within their chosen area. We’re only appointing one hundred franchisees countrywide, so they have to be people with a real desire to build a significant business asset with high rewards.”
‘Spreading wings nationwide’
Since replicating the original Prokill business (now in its sixth year) the franchise business that started in 2006 has recruited a steady flow of individuals with their sights set on surpassing the £1million turnover that the core business achieved within five years.
Franchises have been awarded from Cornwall to Liverpool, currently in nine locations that represent approximately ten percent of the total franchises available – so serious individuals need to secure the areas they favour without delay.
‘You don’t get rich by selling your own labour’
Every franchisee sets out to establish their own territory, building a highly profitable business in the first instance and an accruing asset thereafter. Their backgrounds are diverse but are usually from management with some experience in recruiting and controlling personnel, sales or marketing. Without exception, they recognise that ‘you don’t get rich by selling your own labour’ as you can only ever work to your own capacity.
Prokill openly states that unless a franchisee employs one, if not two employees in the first year, then it’s highly unlikely that they’ll achieve the £200,000 turnover they predict in year one (a franchisee will be lucky to exceed £90,000 as they then have to service the same contracts they have sold). However, with gross profits around 90% and net profits around 25% it’s easy to see how the business grows rapidly. Between 40% - 50% of all turnover each year will carry forward as contract work into the next year – so there should be no reason why turnover and profits don’t double year-on-year.
‘Trained to succeed’
Previous experience within the industry isn’t necessary as all franchisees go through residential and field training courses that cover every aspect of technical, administrative and sales activity. From day one of trading, a franchisee will inherit the same national industry accreditations that enable Prokill to open doors that remain firmly closed to lesser competitors, and can be confident that the training is nationally recognized and continually monitored for compliance by independent bodies.
‘Constant support’
Prokill recognises that every franchisee is making a huge leap of faith when they embark on their own business venture. Often it’s just the desire to work for oneself; to stop making someone else profitable; or to fulfil a lifetime ambition – but whatever the reason Prokill is there every step of the way; during and after training with online, technical, sales, telephone and field support.
Geoff Whittle has the last word. “Prokill surely has to be the most robust business proposition in the country, borne out of a cast iron marketplace coupled to comprehensive training and nationally recognised accreditations and recognitions – the only ingredient missing is you! If becoming your ‘Local Hero’ appeals and earning good profits is even more attractive, then talk to us now.”

"Having taken out 6 months to identify a viable and saleable business opportunity, I selected Prokill. Looking back over the past 15 months since launch I would struggle to identify a more rewarding or resilient business.Since joining the Prokill network in 2007, I have willingly introduced many new franchisees to the opportunity. The business is infectious and it is very rewarding to see them thriving many months later. The intrinsic business opportunity is huge. With the guidance of Prokill and the best training in the business, I remain just as excited as the day we launched 15 months ago" - Justin Holloway, Prokill Thames West
"Starting with nothing to creating the business as it stands today in this testing financial environment will always be one of my life's huge achievements. Looking forward, the future projects a robust business with a very comfortable income - I'd like to say it was all down to me but it's not.... Prokill offers plans and foundation for success, my work was choosing and placing the bricks." - Clive Ticehurst, Prokill E.Herts & W.Essex
