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.
