How much do I need to get going?

To start your new business with The Fruit & Veg Man franchise you will need at least £17.5k to invest. Low-rate funding* is available (subject to status) from the government-backed ‘British Business Bank’, or the franchise units of the major High Street Banks.

Once established in your area you can realistically create earnings of c.£50-£60k per year, and at this point you may want to scale up with more people and vehicles, moving to become a manager of your business, which should now have a value for you to sell on in the future.

Following Sanjay, Hannah and the other franchisees’ proven route to success massively reduces both the risk and cost for you – we’ve made the mistakes, so you don’t have to!

We’ll map your journey with you in your own business plan. All you’ll need to do is follow it, act on the guidance from our experienced team and get out there with enthusiasm. You’ll have a solid repeating income in a matter of months, maybe even quicker if you really go for it….

Happy people

All the produce is great quality and well-priced, which customers love – combined with a bit of friendly banter of course! A local person serving with a smile and making time for a chat goes a really long way these days – people aren’t used to it. The business grows because people want it to.“

Richard – Franchisee in Manchester

I’ve just started and it is such a joy working with the team, chatting to others in the network. The marketing works and it’s super rewarding – if you are thinking about it, stop thinking and just do it….”

While its hard work, I’ve had so much fun, it’s so fulfilling. I’m now at the stage of growing my business, getting some more employees and some more vehicles on the road – I’m going big…”
