Concept2o Franchise
« on: December 20, 2010, 01:01:24 pm »
Does any body on here have any experience with Concept2o or have a franchise with them??

I have a meeting with them soon and just wanted to get some feedback from any of you. They seem like a really nice bunch, but wondered if anybody had seen some good success stories with them.

Coming back to WC after 14 years out-had enough of stress and aggro and making somebody else rich-just want to go to work do a job and come home again.

Thanks in advance

Nice people, lovely van set up too.
I think they agree to canvass some work for you to get you started. They will most likely show you some outstanding earnings potentials but remember they get these from well established compact rounds. Never heard a bad word about them on here.

Not bought a franchise from them but I do believe they are owned by or have links with the owner of this forum.
Surely if you were to buy a franchise from anyone (not just Concept2o) you would actually still be helping to make someone else rich - something you state you wish to avoid.  No problem if the backup is compatible with your outlay.  If it's just van and system supplied then that needn't be a franchise.  If there is other backup such as helping to increase your workload as you go then that is worth extra.  Personally I would rather struggle a bit at first to avoid paying royalties later but it does depend on individual situations.

a guy based in chester as a franchise with them,  i SPARKLE is the name track him down and speak to him
the kit looks good he seems to think they give good back up,they do the accounts(i belive)
i just think for the amount of money you will spend you could get the same for half the price? as you will still need to get customers

Thanks lads for your feedback-part of the problem Bob is I dont know what the outlay is initially, so I cant judge at the moment if I could get a cheaper option. I will give iSparkle a tinkle though. Thanks

I've got a franchise with Concept 2o in Chester called iSparkle.  I'm blown away with the support and business model that i've purchased.  Excellent.  I've also started and run a successful domestic cleaning company myself, so i know a bit about how to do it, and the advantages of going with Julie and her team in Cardiff.

Im not a bandit trying to hijack the site and bring attention to them. I was under threat of being made redundant earlier in the year, hence the questions. But now stuff has got stupid coz theres only a few of us left and I'm being dumped on.

One more question, looking to door to door canvass solidly till ive got what i need(around 250 custies). As Im based in south Essex, hoe quickly do you think this is acheivable. Ta

If you are thinking of investing in a Concept20 or anything similar then 250 customers will not cover the payment for the kit. So I assume you have a spare £25,000 + to start up with?

I also have a concept2o system. Hot water one also! can't fault them, brilliant setupand very cheap to run compared with diesel setups. In my opinion i'd just go for the system and not the franchise. Depends on how business savvy you are though. All the best in what ever you do.
