Creating space, creating profit!

Access4Lofts is a franchise business that helps utilise wasted space by providing quick, easy and affordable loft access and storage solutions

Access4Lofts supply and install loft hatches, ladders, boarding, lighting and insulation to most property and attic types, allowing customers to utilise their loft space for storage without the expense of a loft conversion.

There are now 100 Franchise Territories operating across the UK from Glasgow to Cornwall.

This is a rare opportunity to join a very successful franchise offering loft boarding, hatches and ladders (with lifetime guarantees) and Which? Trusted Trader status, so if you want to launch your new business you really need to start the process as soon as possible because while there are still territories available across the UK the list is getting shorter all the time.

If you live in, or near, to any of these areas, there is a major opportunity waiting for you:

The Access4Loft franchise opportunity


Access4Lofts offers two business models – owner operator and management (multi-van) operation.

1. OWNER-OPERATOR

Proven to generate £120K+ sales with 40%+ net profit within the first year.

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.

Previously taken Access4Lofts territories are now open to offers due to retirement – is one near you?

Are you looking for a fantastic head start in business with an already established territory? Or was the territory you wanted previously unavailable?

Access4Lofts Image

You might be in luck now!

Over the past few years, Access4Lofts has grown rapidly, and now with over 100 franchises operating across the UK, it’s no surprise some areas were snapped up quickly. I’ve had plenty of conversations with people excited to join us, only to find their local area was already spoken for.

However, that could all be about to change – a few of those territories are now opening back up. If you live in or near any of these areas – or know someone who does – this could be a great opportunity:

  • West Midlands
  • Shropshire
  • Surrey
  • Berkshire
  • East Sussex
  • NE England

These are well-established franchise areas that were previously unavailable. In some cases, they still show as active online – and that’s because they are! However, in a big network like this one, there are always a few people who are starting to look at retirement and selling up, so a few of these previously taken territories are now looking for new owners to take the reins.

Why buy an existing franchise territory instead of starting your own?

Growing your own successful business from the ground up is certainly very satisfying, and there are no better franchises to do that with than Access4Lofts, but taking over an established territory is a very exciting prospect too.

You can enjoy a great number of benefits including:

  • A business which already has a great reputation in the local area with fantastic reviews
  • An existing pipeline of work already booked (most are full for months!)
  • The same training and support as a new franchisee
  • A head start in a booming market, with massive growth potential
  • A full handover from the current owner – including marketing, customer contacts, and operations

Of course, the cost is a little higher than starting from scratch in a new location, but it is actually easier to raise funds from lenders for a resale than a fresh, new franchise. After all, it’s already been proven to work and is already making money!

Prefer building something all your own? No problem – we still have a few “greenfield” areas left. Just let us know what area you’re interested in, and we’ll check what’s available.

Access4Lofts Testimonials
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
SAM (STAFFORD) FRANCHISEE
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
Michael (GLASGOW SOUTH FRANCHISEE)
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.
