Rapid growth from the start
You might be thinking; “Why invest in a franchise, I could do this myself”. If you have sufficient business acumen and can provide a good service, you can certainly build your own trade business - many people do. However, you have to consider the journey required to get there. Starting a business from scratch is challenging, especially building a customer base. Most plumbing firms, despite how they might present themselves, typically consist of a few engineers with the director working extremely long hours on the tools. Growing from a one man band to a team typically takes years and often plateaus quickly after that.

A Plumbhappy franchise allows you to have a constant stream of customers where the only obstacle is the size of the team you’re willing to manage.
