DOR-2-DOR resale in Cambridgeshire

Published: 16 September 2016

Having run this business for 14 years, the current franchisee is looking to retire. With the assistance of one-part time assistant (on a zero hour’s contract), a number of self-employed contract distributors and a self-employed driver, the business is run from a home office utilising a garage for leaflet storage and round make up although, it could be run from an inexpensive lock up, or a combination of a lock-up and home office. 

The current franchisee spends about 80% of time managing the operation of the business and about 20% of time on marketing and sales in contrast to a new business of this type which requires about 80% of time for marketing and sales and 20% for operating the business. This illustrates an immediate benefit of buying into an established operation; more time spent earning money, less on marketing and sales. Within the current weekly schedule there is ample scope to expand the business by securing additional revenue and profit from less developed areas and from additional print sales. 

The value of recurring business and the customer base it derives from is substantial and would require considerable time and resources, both financial and physical, to generate this. This has been achieved by delivering an excellent service, and continuing to market to these existing customers. 


The DOR-2-DOR system has developed significantly since its inception in 1987 and provides a wide range of services to businesses wanting to find new customers through the medium of the letterbox. The franchise network now covers over 60 main conurbations across the UK. The team at the DOR-2-DOR head office are on hand to assist franchisees in building and developing their professional local service starting off with comprehensive training in all aspects of the system.

DOR-2-DOR has perfected a proven and successful business model as a result of 25 years of successful trading. You would be joining an existing team of franchisees who can all be spoken to and who will confirm their own individual successes.

Distributing advertising material on behalf of local organisations offers a recession proof business. With the extensive support of DOR-2-DOR the business is simple to operate and offers remarkable income potential. DOR-2-DOR are full members of the Direct Marketing Association, the Approved Franchise Association, and have been granted a Postcomm licence by Ofcom, the Government’s communication watchdog.
