Lawn Care Franchise Opportunity With Lawnscience

Lawnscience

Lawnscience Is A Professional Lawncare Franchise Operating Mainly In The Domestic Market.

The lawncare market started in the U.S. where today over 25% of homes receive regular lawn treatments. In the UK market approximately 5% of homes benefit from this service, leaving a substantial market potential to develop.

If we take a typical catchment area of 150,000 homes; a single van franchise should develop a annual turnover in excess of £60,000, so it’s easy to see that there is a large untapped market within the UK.

We provide our customers with a regular cycle of lawn treatments throughout the year, so there’s no “down time” over the winter period as in many garden service concepts. As well as treating lawns we update our customers as to issues that might affect the quality their lawns and we recommend treatments to prevent or overcome relevant issues.

The treatment programs we provide have been developed with Europe’s foremost supplier of lawn fertilisers and chemical treatments. The products we use create outstanding results and cannot be purchased from retail outlets.

Our customers appreciate the level of service we provide which in turn generates a substantial volume of new business referrals.

Is Lawncare The Business For You? 

The lawncare market is an exiting and challenging business opportunity, we love it. But it will not be the right business for everyone so it’s important right from the outset that we are honest about its pro’s and con’s. The last thing we want is to recruit people into a business that is not right for them; it would be a bad decision for both of us.

So from the outset we will not try to sell you a franchise, all we will do is to show you the business opportunity and help you understand the potential financial performance and then we will leave the decision to progress up to you.

What We Can Tell You About The Business?

• Its and outdoor business, great in summer, but sometimes a little chilly in winter.
• It’s a “service” business, it’s obvious, but worth restating, we provide a great service to our customers. If you do not enjoy meeting people and providing great  service then this is not the business for you.
• Like all new business it will require your drive and determination to make it grow.
• It’s a business you can run from home, reducing your outgoings and allowing you to work flexibly.
• With hard work and a commitement to providing great customer service you can build a business asset to either sell on or pass on to a member of your family.
