FRANCHISE
Run your own home-improvement business
Total Makeovers is a management franchise. You don't fit kitchens; you own the business that sells and manages the jobs. Local owner, home-based, one accountable name per area.
What a management franchise actually means
Most people hear "franchise" and picture a shop or a van. Ours is quieter and more profitable: you run a home-based business that sells kitchen makeovers, and the fitting is done by vetted, insured sub-contract fitters you manage. You do the selling, the quoting, the customer care and the scheduling. The fitters do the fitting. You keep the margin, and your evenings.
You'll work out what you're good at, but most owners find they spend time on: quoting jobs, meeting customers, marketing the territory, managing fitters' diaries, and after-care. Not on fitting kitchens.
A typical job nets you healthy margin on a project value between £3,500 and £8,000; multiply that by the number of jobs you can handle. The best owners in this industry exceed £1m a year in revenue; a realistic first full year is a strong six figures. (These figures are illustrative; your results depend on you and your territory.)
Why this industry, why now
The maths works
A £19,500 licence buys an exclusive territory of roughly 150,000 households. A well-run territory converts at industry-typical rates, and kitchen makeovers are a proven, repeatable category.
The customer pays for it
UK homeowners spend billions on their kitchens every year. The trend towards renovation-over-replacement works in your favour: rising costs push people towards makeovers rather than refits.
Lean by design
No premises, no shopfitting, no staff payroll in year one. A car, a laptop, and a phone. Overheads stay lean until revenue justifies growth.
Recession-tolerant
When money is tight, people don't buy new kitchens; they make over the one they have. It's the counter-cyclical side of the industry.
