When I posted my thoughs on moving my business to the next level, the figures I quoted where not set in conreate.
For instance I am in a position to release £25k worth of business to a franshisee straightaway, but Ian did point out that a newbie would not be able to cope with the workload, instead I am going to follow Ians figure of £10k straightaway with the rest coming online as and when they can cope.
Some on here will say that a newbie can cope with £25k straightaway especially with my prices, but I do set quality of workmanship as the 1st priority, anyway within 3 months they should be upto that figure.
The rest of the franshise package is going to be the same as Ian's except for a couple of extra's that I will be offering and the price I will be charging.
The extras I have included are Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning and Gutter Cleaning, with regard to Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning they will be trained by The NCCA.
The package prices also differ greatly to Ians as well mine is as follows

Now this is where I will differ from Ian's business unlike him I will also be employing window cleaners as well, they will all be taken on a 30 hour per week contract, so I can alter their shift pattern when I take on a new franshisee.
