Build a better future for you and your family. Be your own boss with a Snap-on franchise.

There’s never been a better time than now to consider a Snap-on Tools franchise, as the 2025 incentive sees start-up costs reduced to just £9k plus working capital!

Snap-on is also one of the only franchisors in the UK to offer funding assistance to its franchisees through an in-house finance programme. Snap-on offers a business loan to prospects to help fund the purchase of their franchise and, as part of the new incentive, this includes 2 years’ interest free. Read More HERE

I just wish I’d joined 20 years ago… Imagine where I’d be now! I’m financially secure, have the freedom to do what I want and just enjoy life!”

Anton Mitchell, franchisee.

Who can be a Snap-on franchisee?


Almost anyone! It’s all about attitude... We look for someone with great people skills who can build relationships with customers and has a passion for selling. You need to be dedicated and willing to put in some serious effort, but if you have a positive attitude and the motivation, we can give you the tools you need to build a profitable, rewarding business.
 

What’s it like owning a Snap-on franchise?


No two days are the same, and that’s something that franchisees tell us they love! Daily activities include:
  • Planning your day! Using the dedicated point of sale system, you can easily prepare your bespoke sales pitch for every customer
  • Merchandising! Snap-on will provide you with plenty of sales promotions but you get to organise your store your way to entice customers to buy more!
  • Delivering exceptional service to your customers; identifying their wants and needs and offering them a solution
  • Back of house admin such as stock checks, stock orders and managing customer orders.

“Thanks to Snap-on, I bought first house at 23 and I am now building a property portfolio to support my plans to semi-retire at 45. I don’t have to worry about money which I know is a privileged position to be in but it’s down to working hard and aiming high. I enjoy experiences, travel, nice things and being able to treat me fiancé, my family and my team. To be able to play hard you have to work hard and I believe I do both!”

Luke Henderson, franchisee. 

Never run your own business before? No problem.


We’ve trained over 400 franchisees in the UK - people just like you. Training starts with ten days of classroom-style training where you will learn how to run a successful Snap-on franchise. Then it’s time to collect your own custom-built mobile store and meet the associates who will support you on a daily basis.

Once you’re out on the road, your one-to-one training continues with your dedicated Franchise Developer who will ride with you for your first four weeks. As part of our six-month intensive onboarding process, you’ll then receive a further 30 days of on-van support from a Sales Developer and Business Manager - that’s 50 contact days in your first six months!

Support for life


Our team of 165 head office associates support you in all areas of your business; from sales and marketing to product, IT and finance. After your six-month on- boarding programme, a Franchise Performance Team is available to help support your business every step of the way.

Your Business Manager will regularly work with you to analyse your business and identify areas for growth. Your Sales Developer will help you to identify ways that can help maximise your sales potential. We hold monthly and quarterly franchisee forums, an annual conference and our legendary tool show.

We also have a dedicated Rock n’ Roll Tool Storage Programme and Diagnostic Sales Specialists all there to help support the growth of your business.


“If you’re reading this; go for it! It’s a life changing opportunity. I’ve just bought my franchise and I’m now reaping the rewards of my own hard work. I’m an ordinary bloke from an ordinary family but now, I’ve got the tools to do something really special.”

Lee Headley, franchisee.

Big business


We love it when our franchisees dream big! Owning multiple territories and several mobile stores is common in our network – some franchisees choose to take on an assistant, some choose to bring family into the business and others have built what can only be described as their very own empire! Whether it’s business planning, funding assistance or the ongoing support you need to take things to the next level, we’re right behind you.

No-nonsense, help-to-buy scheme


Starting a small business isn’t easy, but Snap-on can help. For many of our franchisees, securing financing is an important part of the process. We offer in-house financing, which provides business loans to fund the purchase of your franchise1.

To start your very own Snap-on franchise with financing, you need just £15k plus your working capital2 and then, our in-house bank, Snap-on Finance, will fund the remaining investment on a ten-year interest-bearing loan.

  • Cut-out the high-street banks – borrow from us
  • Get finance from people who truly understand your business – us!
  • A three-month repayment break to help you as you launch
  • Fixed monthly repayments mean there are never any surprises!

Whether you dream of financial security for you and your family, a mortgage free lifestyle, putting the kids through university or just want to spend your time loving what you do, a Snap-on franchise is a way to achieve all that and more.
