Seen it.  It costs £10 and gets you all the kit you need for pressure washing, gutters, wfp etc.

Sounds 2 good 2 be true.

I asked for more info and got this
Hi,


We provide you with as much work as you can handle or you want.. for example some people only want to work part time but if you want to work full time we will provide as much work as you require. Will would add work onto your customer base each week after training it would take you couple of weeks to get up to speed.

The work is owned by us at all times and we provide you witht he work and equipment as the advert states with advertising, this is alot better than other franchises as we provide the work from day one your earning money unlike other franchises where dont get any jobs from them put charge you £20,000 plus.

We take 20% of your turnover for providing our service

Advertising,Pure Water,Ongoing Support, Insurance for first year, sign writting for van, uniform, a well known brand, regular reliable paying customers, full quote department for new work, manned telephone lines to customers, and lots more really.

P/S we provide you with the pure water you would fill up at our location.

Tanks

Ive now asked how he can get me as much work as i want when he doesnt know where i am and where i will have to go to get my water..still waiting for reply

It does sound about right, so, do they offer you work or don't they?

Just got a reply all he said was this

You would need to be in our location area on the East cost

didnt say anything about that on the advert, seems he either hasnt thought his sales pitch out or is making it up as he goes?

To the best of my knowledge, Essex hasn't got an east coast; it's sort of truncated and a bit stunted and couldn't quite make out a headland in the style of Beachy Head, where one might choose to throw ones self off in a final act of wfp vs trad argument.

These sort of things are usually targetted at newbies with a bit of redundancy money in their back pocket.
What is there to teach? if you have the sense to make a go of it you can work it out for yourself.

You only have to look at how many newish signwritten vans fully fitted out end up ebay to see what happens to a lot of those franchise operations.

There were two leafletting and canvassing round my way a couple of years back. both gone now
