Andy Watt sat down with Lillie Burroughs of Franchise Direct discusses his successful franchise, Lastertech, in this franchise video podcast.
Established in 1989 Lasertech is the market leading Franchise that supplies businesses with Printer Cartridges and Office Products
Our Franchisees build a business in their local community with a massive 30,000 products for sale and benefit from the repeat and frequent purchasing needs of
businesses.
We operate in a huge market (£11bn) with excellent profit opportunities from multiple revenue streams. We are looking for people who can build a business, deliver excellent customer service and want to follow a proven formula with the support of an established company.
Lasertech were one of the first companies in the UK to manufacture toner cartridges using recycled materials. Since then we have become a leading independent manufacturer of Compatible Toner and Ink Cartridges in the UK, as well as a supplier of office products.
We sell the Lasertech Brand of printer cartridges and Brands like HP, Epson, Canon, and Samsung, with over 70 other brands direct to businesses. We also sell a complete range of more than 25,000 Office Products to our customers.
The Lasertech Franchise opportunity is a proven business with many, very successful franchisees already trading. Those invited to join our Franchise Network will be joining a successful team - not going it alone.
What our Franchisees Do
Lasertech and our Franchisees sell direct to businesses. 99.9% of UK businesses use printer cartridges and 100% use office products of some kind.
Businesses expect their orders to be delivered to their desk. They want it delivered fast and free. This is what Lasertech and you, as a franchisee do. Migrating our customers to order online has reduced our Franchisees overheads and increased average order values.
As a Franchisee you will benefit from our automated stock system and the latest IT software to source stock from Lasertech and Europe’s largest stationery wholesaler. Office products are run as a stockless system, and due to our ordering and delivery system, you will only need to carry limited cartridge products, therefore you won’t have lots of money tied up in stock.
