A “Win Win” Approach Works Best
Becoming part of the SMA family of franchisees opens the door to a truly exceptional business opportunity. But this is only just the start. The whole ethos of SMA Worldwide is about creating “win win” opportunities. SMA Worldwide only succeed if their franchisees succeed. Every member of the SMA Head Office team are involved in supporting franchisees. From liaising with clients to helping with business opportunities.

Quality People For A Quality Business
SMA Worldwide success is based on world class service delivery. They therefore select franchisees very carefully and introduce them at a measured pace. In 2008 they will award only 8 Territories to new franchisees. Prospective franchisees need:
• Sales and account management skills
• A hunger to succeed and build a substantial business. Every territory has £1m plus potential!
• Discipline to follow the proven systems and follow the “SMA Way”.

Of course it is a two way process and SMA will provide all the information that a potential franchisee will need.

A Measured Roll Out To Maximise Franchisee Support
Over the next 5 years SMA Worldwide will launch franchisees into a total of 45 territories as part of a measured roll out programme. Each territory is of a substantial size and is based on UK postcodes. Detailed analysis has been done to ensure that a minimum market potential is available in every territory.
