Plumb Local - Franchise
Hi lads..
I've been looking at this business opportunity which is asking for a £30k investment but gets you full training, support van etc.. Can I have your honest thoughts..... Would I be better doing the sparks course or neither? PlumbLocal :: Plumbing Franchise & Plumber Training Courses |

Re: Plumb Local - Franchise
have you seen any of these vans in your area? i haven't. is the £30k just the start do you have to pay a % every year or do you have to pay it your self for advertising, van Maintenance, tools, stock, insurance both van and business, find out what there prices are like and what other plumbers charge in your area, do they guarantee you work or a wage for the first year?

Re: Plumb Local - Franchise
Hi, I'm new to the forum, just left Plumblocal, been there 4 years, and noticed this thread.
I reckon I'm qualified to comment on the pro's and con's of buying a Plumblocal franchise, and they exist, there are arguments for and arguments against. I would say the ultimate success of doing so depends on the individual and other variables. For some it might be a shrewd move, for others a disaster (as kes36 points out). I wonder if any other "exiles" from Plumblocal use this forum, if so, it would be nice to chat. I've been "ex-communicated" from the Plumblocal forum so any PL guys still in or any who have left and wish to chat, it would be good to hear from you. TTFN HTB |
