Why The Driveway Doctor?

When Adam was looking for a business idea, back in 2002, he came up with a list of what he called his 'Must Have Ingredients' - the elements that any business opportunity or franchise had to have to make it viable and workable. Here's that list :

• Large Potential Market Place: For any business to be successful, it must have a product that someone wants and needs.
• Easy to do: The easier a business concept the quicker you can be profitable
• Low Stock Levels. You don't want to hold high level of stock that eat into your cash flow
• Residual Income: Your customers will remain with you year after year so impressed they will be with the service you provide. They will pay you each year by Standing Order.
• Respectability: This is a 'win-win' business that you can be proud of. You win with a profitable business and a huge sense of job satisfaction.
• Low monthly overheads: Your monthly overheads are small. Plus the initial investment is a fraction of what many, frankly much less attractive, franchises cost.
• Reduced financial risk: It's already been tested and proven that why we are members of the British Franchise Association.
• Rapid Pay Back: Because of the factors listed above you will become profitable very quickly
• No Bad Debt: Primarily dealing with Domestic customers means you get paid when the job is done and experience has shown 100% customer satisfaction.
• No Hard Selling: All our customers approach us so it is possible to turn 75% of all enquiries into confirmed orders.
• Little local competition: Look in your local paper or yellow pages, how many companies offer the service we do and then look at how many companies advertise the installation of paving.

Now, the truth is, in many businesses it's hard to find a single one of these "Must Have Ingredients" - if you're lucky you might get three or four of them. But this business not only provides ALL ELEVEN of them but, in addition, it offers the biggest single opportunity for market growth of any domestic service industry anywhere in the UK right now. Now, hopefully, you're seeing why this is such a great franchise - and such a perfect business opportunity from your perspective.
