Financial Details
The Lawnkeeper Franchisee Fee is £10,000 + VAT which covers your exclusive licensed territory and training.
If required funding support is available through banks or other lenders, OR you may even qualify for the Government Backed Business Start-Up Scheme which allows you to borrow up to £25,000 without investing any money of your own. This figure doubles, if the business has two Directors, we are more than happy to discuss these options in more detail with you.
Franchise Package
As mentioned above the franchise fee is for your exclusive licensed territory and training, but there are other costs related to starting the business which we have put together in a complete package for you at just £7,000 + VAT and this covers:
The essential professional machinery and equipment required
Initial supplies of Lawncare chemicals
Your uniforms and PPE
Start-up marketing materials to support your launch, such as leaflets and sign writing for your van
You will also need to source a van from which to operate your business, we recommend a Ford Transit Custom, and all our vehicles are silver. You can choose to lease, finance or purchase new or nearly new - that's entirely your choice; we'll get your van branded for you once you have it.
Finally, you'll need some working capital to cover you while your business gets up and running; this needs to be enough to cover the initial running costs of the business, and what you might need to take out of the business to cover your personal expenses at home. We will discuss this during your fact-finding process with the Lawnkeeper team.
Available Territories
We currently have availability in some very key locations throughout the UK, including some prime locations in major cities!
