Spring has sprung, so why not take the plunge and invest in an Ovenu oven valeting franchise? The company has both new territories and existing resales available.
Franchise opportunities don’t come more tried and tested than Ovenu. The company has been owned and operated by Rik Hellewell since it began franchising in 1994. Today it has over 100 franchisees in the UK, plus master franchise arrangements in Australia and the USA and there are other developments in the pipeline.
Starting your own business can be daunting, because you have to secure adequate funding, complete your market research to demonstrate there’s a demand for the product or service and then demonstrate you can fulfil that demand at a price that generates a good profit. Operating your own business can also be a lonely existence.
Franchising can offer an alternative that, for the right people, allows you to operate your own business, but under the banner of a national brand. Franchising in the UK has been established for many years and while with any aspect of business or selfemployment nothing must be taken for granted, there are not many franchise opportunities that can match Ovenu’s 20-year track record and pedigree.
The success achieved by Rik and his team is a result of hard work and dedication to the franchise network over many years.
Franchising is a kind of partnership where each party - franchisor and franchisee - relies on the other to perform their roles and responsibilities to a consistently high standard, especially where customer care and service are key elements of the long-term success of the business.
Ovenu franchisees manage their diary and work commitments and because franchisees pay a fixed monthly fee, the harder they work the more profit they keep for themselves.
Franchising isn’t suitable for everyone, which is why the recruitment process adopted by the Ovenu team is transparent, structured and informative to ensure both sides have everything they need to make the right decision.
The initial support and training that’s provided, together with one of the best and most effective websites within the franchise industry, ensures you get off to the best possible start with your new Ovenu business.
However the main ‘cog in the wheel’ that drives the business forward is the franchisee. The franchisor has the systems and brand, but franchisees must possess the enthusiasm and determination to succeed.
With the minimum of reporting, the Ovenu business model is both simple and flexible to operate, because Ovenu wants franchisees to be focused on cleaning ovens and making money, not filling in forms and reports.
Ovenu offers two proven business models depending on your local geography, demographics and population of the area you’re interested in developing.
There is the standard model package, which costs £15,900 (plus VAT) and comprises at least 60,000 households, while the easy reach package at £9,950 (plus VAT) includes approximately 30,000 households. From time to time existing areas are also for sale because franchisees are retiring.
