The Access4Loft franchise opportunity

Franchisees undertake all installation work and solely run the business. Complete one job per day over a four-day week, spend the fifth day on business development. Work around your other life commitments.
To become a successful Access4Lofts owner-operator you need:
- to be great with customers
- some basic DIY competence
- to follow the proven system
- the ambition to grow your business
2. MANAGEMENT BUSINESS
Proven to generate £300K+ sales with 35%+ net profit with two staff.
The franchisee works on developing the business and employs and manages fitters that do the majority of the installation work.
To build a successful Access4Lofts management business you need:
- to be a great communicator
- ideally some management experience
- ambition to grow a multi-van business
- extra finance to invest in your team initially
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.

However, you will need to let us know by the first week of December at the latest.
It’s as easy clicking the button at the bottom of this email to reserve your place, or ask any questions you still have before planning your next move.
There has never been a better time to get involved with this franchise.
October was the busiest month ever for the Access4Lofts franchise network which is used to smashing its own records on a regular basis, this time its franchisees have hit an all-time, new high.
Over £1.5m in sales, a whopping 32% increase on this time last year!
Business for Access4Lofts franchisees has been increasing steadily for some time now. Most importantly, this is not down to dropping prices or making special offers – actually, prices have gone up 6% in line with rising costs, just like with most other businesses, and it hasn’t even made a dent. Quite the opposite, in fact!
With the stellar reputation Access4Lofts has built, homeowners know they are still getting great quality, and great value for money, when they get in touch with their local franchisee.
We are confident this won’t slow in the future, either. One of the biggest questions we are always asked is if franchisee’s will eventually run out of lofts to work on in their local area. This is such a common question, we’ve even prepared a video explainer entitled: What happens when I’ve supplied all the properties in my territory?
The Spoiler Alert is that you won’t... Ever! The average Access4Lofts franchisee does around 250 jobs a year, whereas the average number of new houses built in each territory since 2021 is about 10,000. The housing stock is growing faster than even the hardest working franchisee could ever keep up with! On top of that, while other loft access businesses have started to spring up, there is still nowhere enough coverage to meet all the demand out there.
In the run up to Christmas, most franchisees are already fully booked right up to the end of January 2025, with many already booking jobs for February and March.
What’s the catch?
There aren’t many territories left! ONLY 24 of the original 132 territories still available, which means just 18% of the UK is still up for grabs.
So what are you waiting for?
Get in touch to learn if your area is still available. Or, if we have already spoken about an area before, now might be a great time to get back in touch to see what we can do about stopping your territory from slipping away from you.
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.
