Drains get blocked: it’s as certain as death and taxes. And, regardless of the condition of the economy, people will always need saving wherever sewage has escaped.
Let’s face it: there’s no good time for an obstruction in the drains of your home or business. Blockages don’t care if there’s a recession or if you’re hosting a wedding reception - if someone has flushed something they shouldn’t, it’s going to rear it’s rather unpleasant, ugly head. And it won’t look good on the wedding photos!
So, if you have aspirations of grandeur and super-hero-status, the humble drain-blocking business might just be for you. Save the day with this skilled and respected trade, and you'll have a job for life.
There aren’t many recession-proof businesses left, so if you’re looking to be your own boss and earn a healthy living, our drainage franchises could be for you.
Franchising
One of the most attractive characteristics of franchising is that you inherit a reputation. While there's a shortage of drainage specialists in the UK, people are more likely to approach a company they recognise, rather than engage with a complete stranger - especially in an emergency.
When you invest in a drainage franchise, you inherit the instantly recognisable branding of your parent company, giving you an immediate head-start over the sole-traders and the smaller firms. People recognise the branding on your van and your paperwork, offering reassurance and a stamp of quality approval.
Benefit from the parent company's reputation for excellence before you've even opened your doors for business, and you'll find that people come to you right from the start.
Drainage franchises are one of the few business opportunities that usually offer full training - you could learn the trade entirely from scratch. If you're looking for a total change in career direction, a drainage franchise could be your path to profitable and satisfying self-employment.
Another of the significant advantages of taking on a franchise is that they have a ready-to-go infrastructure. You can start working from Day One, rather than spending weeks learning how to comply with business regulations.
Facts About Drainage Franchises
There’s a shortage of plumbers and drainage specialists in the UK. This means that a good plumber who builds a reliable reputation will always be in demand.
Plumbers service, repair, and install a wide range of equipment: water and gas pipes and appliances, and central-heating- and waste-disposal systems. A drainage franchise tends to specialise in waste-water disposal, but most can turn their hand to all the other plumbing disciplines.
Home drains are often covered by home insurance, so consumers are generally prepared to pay a premium for an emergency drain unblocking: the health security of their home counts on it, after all.
Many drainage franchise opportunities offer a complete training package, often to people with no prior experience.
Franchising Vs Independent
Banks and moneylenders often favour franchises. This is because franchise businesses are built on robust foundations - they have a prior record of success, a strong financial history, and a proven business model.
Independent companies often struggle to establish themselves, especially in trades like plumbing and drainage. An individual may be brilliant at their job, but new business owners rarely get their marketing right at first. It can take several years for an independent trader to turn over the types of profits you could make as a drainage franchise.
Franchise businesses tend to establish a firmer footing during their initial years of trading because they have the head-start of recognisable branding to help develop their place within the market.
