With over 10 years of service industry experience under its belt, the Fantastic Services brand has positioned itself as a market leader providing more than 25 property maintenance and improvement services. For its growing client base in the UK, the United States and Australia there is a range of services at their fingertips to ensure that their homes & businesses are kept in tip-top condition. At the heart of the business is a strong desire to improve the lives of its clients with over 400 franchise partners on hand with professional cleaning and garden care to handyman odd jobs and pest control.
Getting started
A specially created online training platform for new Fantastic Services franchise partners ensures an accessible way to get them out of the starting blocks and give them a strong foundation of the standards of quality of the services to ensure they are fully prepared and confident.
Working together
Setting out on your own with a new business can be a somewhat daunting prospect. Franchise partners are never left to fend for themselves thanks to the professional support and guidance of a dedicated managerial team. The management team is committed to the franchisees and their growth so instead of having them tackle all aspects of business on their own all marketing, branding, lead generation, booking process, and customer support are handled in-house.
Progression and innovation
Early on, the company recognised that custom made technological solutions would remove the time-consuming administrative aspects of running a business for partners. Mobile applications and a unique CRM system ultimately make the business model more flexible and in turn, more lucrative.
Quality assurance
In order for the Fantastic Services franchisees to thrive, the 25+ services on offer are fully standardised. All technicians and partners adhere to specific standards of quality to improve trust and customer loyalty.
Growth and success
As an established specialist in its field, Fantastic Services provides franchisees with the opportunity to reap financial benefits straight away as they can be up and running, generating turnover almost immediately. Flexibility is the name of the game, with investment ranging from £2,000 to £200,000, there is a tremendous potential for further growth by developing one service and a small number of teams, then gradually expanding their operation and area coverage.
Master Franchise expansion in the UK and abroad
The UK, and international home & garden service market is growing and set to continue and Fantastic Services has recently made Master Franchise opportunities available to investors who would like to develop the brand and its range of services in any populated area.
