Don't forget they are only buying the master franchise. The bulk of the turnover is with the franchisees. The master franchise makes money by selling licenses, fees and products.

John, I kind of agree with you but I know with SM the supply of products and equipment is as good as non-profit making.  The supply infrastructure funds its existence and not a lot more I wouldn't have thought.  It might be different with others.

Franchise sales don't happen every day.  The fee for the sale of a franchise licence goes to the person selling it... a new area yes, head office take it but an existing area the money (minus a fee) goes to the franchisee selling it.  The money made on franchise sales, in proportion to royalties, is tiny.

The value is in the royalty fees.

I was speaking to a Chemdry chap recently and from memory their chemical fees where massive.  From memory I think he quoted 10% of the job is in chemical :o :o

So someones making a few quid there.

That is correct Mark ,, 10% plus  in chemicals, I bought an underpowered porty from the master franchise in 1995 for 6k ,, they must be a lot more now.
A chap I know bought a transit and rejigged HM truckmount for 42k plus vat last year from  CD, funny thing is he thinks it is great ,and that the price was fair.
