The investment
To setup and establish your new business the initial investment is £29,950 + VAT, however, if you have £10,000 financing can be secured via many of the high street banks for the balance OR as we are a business approved for the Government backed Start-Up Scheme, you could qualify to borrow up to £25,000, without investing any of your own money; and this figure doubles if the business has two Directors.We will provide you a detailed breakdown of where this money is spent, rest assured it is far better value than starting up on your own as an independent!
How we train and support you
As a franchisee, you will receive completely tailored ongoing support to help you on your path to reaching your goals. If you are practical, we support you on the business side and if you have business experience we train you on the practical side.
The Access4Lofts bespoke admin system is undoubtedly our unique selling point, it takes away the stress of admin and accounts, so you can focus on creating space for your customer and creating profit for you.
It has been built from the ground up and is the result of us working alongside a specialist programmer over several months to create an easy to use single system that streamlines our whole admin process. From taking the initial customer telephone enquiry, through to quotes, order confirmations and invoicing, our system automates the process, leaving you free from worry and stress about when you’re going to find time to type a quote and send it to a customer!
All our franchisees attend a 5 day residential training course held at our dedicated training facility in Devon.
You’ll be guided through health and safety issues and learn how to fit our full range of ladders, hatches and boarding and of course learn how to use the comprehensive set of tools you receive as part of the franchise package.
Regardless of the amount of training you receive, your first few jobs may be daunting, therefore, we follow the training with 2 days operational, on-site support so that we can observe, advise or just give you the moral support as you start your journey. We have an Operations Director who franchisees can call on for support and advice.
As franchisors we are committed to best practice, to doing it right. All of us have been franchisees ourselves; we’ve been where you are right now, so we know what it’s like! We remember the concerns, the steps on the journey to success and the feeling of contentment on achieving our respective goals.
We have spent a lot of time refining this business to make it as simple as possible to succeed if you follow the model.
If you would like to find out more about Access4Lofts please do get in touch. We look forward to hearing from you.
All 5 of Access4Lofts’s new franchisees have something special in common...
In February 2025 Access4Lofts welcomed, no fewer than, 5 new franchisees to their training centre in Plymouth, where they were able to get some invaluable hands-on experience in the mock-up loft space.
This was followed by some key training from the team in how to run and grow their new business.
As always, the new franchisees didn’t just leave the training with brains full of new ideas and proven techniques, but also with branded vans full of kit, plus a number of pre-qualified leads in their new territory to get them off to the best possible start.
With 100 territories now filled, the Access4Lofts team has now got the training sessions down to a fine art. They are designed to ensure every franchisee leaves the training feeling confident and excited about their journey into new business ownership; the team received some glowing feedback from one attendee:
“Thank you to everyone for the exceptional way you explain every task, and having an incredible ability to break down even the most complex tasks into something that feels manageable and achievable. This not only provides clarity, but really builds a sense of confidence and self-assurance. Thank you Access4Lofts!”
Glowing praise, indeed! However, there is something else remarkable which links all of these new franchisees: Every single one joined Access4Lofts based on the recommendation of a friend
We’re finding this is becoming more and more common as the Access4Lofts franchise grows to more locations. Hearing about a friend’s success led all of them to decide they wanted a piece of the action for themselves. There really is no better testament to the value of an Access4Lofts franchise than existing franchisees calling their friends to tell them what a great opportunity it is!
However, not everyone has the luxury of having a friend, or family member, who is a part of the Access4Lofts network, but that doesn’t mean you can’t also benefit from the opinion of those who have already taken that leap. Talking to existing franchisees is a great way to get an insider’s perspective on how it all works and many of their franchisees are more than happy to speak to others about their experiences, so if you’d like to have a chat with one or more of them, they can certainly arrange it for you.
Just click the button at the bottom of this email to get in touch by filling in the response form and letting us know a bit more about yourself, and the territory you want to work in; we’ll be happy to match you to someone who has a similar background, or works in a similar area.
The training course was very professional and well planned. It was a good mix of classroom and practical and the manuals provided were easy to follow. I was made to feel part of the team from day one and at the end of the training I felt confident that I could do the job. I would say the training and ongoing support are fantastic
Having looked closely at several other franchises I knew immediately the Access4Lofts was head and shoulders above the rest. The whole process from initial phone call to securing my territory was relaxed, informative and there was absolutely no high pressure selling. The decision to invest in Access4Lofts was definitely the right one and I would highly recommend this franchise to others
I would recommend this franchise to anyone. I have been involved in franchising for 10 years operating my own gardening franchise. I was looking for a franchise business that my son could take over and came across Access4Lofts. I could immediately see the potential and was impressed with the support and professionalism of the owners. The training, marketing and support has been exceptional which meant that I hit the ground running.
