About Optic-Kleer

Optic-Kleer is an independent windscreen repair-only company offering high-quality repairs to private customers, plus small and large corporate customers. As a well-established franchise, the company is celebrating its 26th year in business.

The repairs are normally carried out at no cost to the customer - subject to insurance cover - as Optic-Kleer is recognised by many insurance companies. Insurance brokers often refer customers to Optic-Kleer due to its recognition as a high quality, competitive windscreen repair company.

Optic-Kleer also achieved 5 Star Franchisee Satisfaction status in 2021.

How does the Optic-Kleer franchise model work?

Optic-Kleer professionally maps out an exclusive windscreen repair territory to suit every franchisee, who work mainly from supermarket and various DIY store car parks.

All the windscreen repair equipment, tools, resins, seals, and marketing materials are included in an initial franchise fee of £20,000 + VAT.

In addition to the franchise fee, you will need a van to work from.

Franchisees are able to book workdays through head office several weeks in advance, so their work plan can be managed effectively.

The company has a competitive management service fee due to its web-based admin system, with 17.5 per cent of gross revenue payable monthly. This covers consumables and the team at head office who deal with all invoices and queries.

What locations or territories is Optic-Kleer looking to operate in?

Opportunities are available across the UK. Optic-Kleer retains the final decision on territories. The company guarantees that no other Optic-Kleer franchisee will be located within the exclusive territory. Your exact territory will be specified in your franchise agreement.

Where in the UK is the franchise based?

Optic-Kleer’s head office is in Boston, Lincolnshire.

What support and training do Optic-Kleer franchisees receive?

Franchisees benefit from comprehensive head office support and training, which teaches individuals how to repair chips or cracks in windscreens.

Workshop training soon becomes ‘reality’, with solid earnings and actual hands-on repairs on real customers’ cars. After hands-on training, Optic-Kleer helps franchisees set up their businesses, including VAT registration.

Optic-Kleer even provides half-board accommodation for franchisees during their initial training, so they can arrive at no cost and leave with a fully functional business. Essentially, franchisees leave Boston ready to start earning in their own territory.

What are the Optic-Kleer franchise’s terms of agreement and renewal?

The franchise term is for 20 years, which is made up of an initial term of five years, followed by three subsequent terms of five years.

A franchise can be sold at any time subject to certain conditions. Optic-Kleer requires that new purchasers are approved by the company and take part in its training programme.

As for potential franchisees, previous sales experience is not a requirement, but franchisees must have an interest and affinity with what Optic-Kleer does.

As with running any business, a positive attitude and approach is essential. As an Optic-Kleer windscreen repair franchisee, you need to be happy to approach and talk to people. If you have the right attitude, you will have plenty of satisfied customers.

How in demand are windscreen repair services right now?

With more than 30m vehicles on UK roads, the potential market for windscreen repairs is six million every year, when you take into account figures that show one in five vehicles get a chip in the windscreen every year.

Windscreen repair is a captive market, as it is only specialists who can carry out repairs. Repairing windscreens is more cost-effective and therefore more popular than total windscreen replacement, and word of mouth recommendations are often the best way to build a business.
