FRANCHISE
CHIPSAWAY INTERNATIONAL LTD

CHIPSAWAY INTERNATIONAL LTD

With over 350 successful franchisees operating nationwide, and a network of master franchisors overseas, ChipsAway remains the leading brand in the rapidly growing SMART (Small to Medium Area Repair Technology) repair sector. ChipsAway was first to develop this unique technology and introduced SMART repairs into the UK in 1994. With over 34 million vehicles on the road in the UK, generating around 17 million repair opportunities per annum, the marketplace is estimated to be worth 5.5bn. Currently, ChipsAway franchisees service less than 3% of the available market and struggle to cope with escalating demand for their services -  so far we have hardly scratched the surface of this massive marketplace!

ABOUT US

 

ChipsAway is a well established and respected franchisor, with a strong track record of success in the franchising arena and within the automotive services marketplace. Our reputation is built on outstanding commitment to the support and ongoing development of franchisees businesses, with many of our franchisees well into their second and third five year terms and others retiring with a healthy nest egg, having enjoyed an excellent living over a number of years.


Most franchisees operate from a purpose designed, professionally liveried vehicle, specially customised to create a mobile workshop. This enables customers to have their cars repaired at a time and place most convenient to them, whether at work or on the drive at home.


Increasingly, some franchisees take the option of investing in a static CarCare Centre, or additional vehicles, which means that they can process more work and grow their businesses faster and further.


The market leading ChipsAway system is easy to learn and delivers superb results. That's why the vast majority of our franchisees work comes from repeat business and word of mouth recommendation from highly delighted customers. The job satisfaction, together with the high earnings potential and the flexibility that comes with being based from home, are among the many benefits most prized by our franchisees.


The other major advantage is that a ChipsAway franchise, unlike most other opportunities, enables you to make money from day one, thanks to the professionally planned and executed business launch organised for every new franchisee

TRAINING AND SUPPORT

 

ChipsAway provides a comprehensive three week training programme. This includes technical training, to enable franchisees to learn how to complete a SMART repair using the unique ChipsAway paint system, as well as a specialised sales and marketing module, all of which is backed up by a hands-on, highly targeted launch module, using the resources of experienced staff and franchisees. Ongoing business development support and advice is given to each franchisee as their business grows.


Our Franchise Support Team works behind the scenes, providing hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of leads from the public.  Further support is delivered through a franchisee only website, technical helpline, and communication through regular focus network meetings.

OUR FRANCHISE PACKAGE

 
As a ChipsAway franchisee, you have the choice either to operate from a fully equipped mobile workshop in the form of a customised, professionally liveried VW Transporter, or you may open a CarCare franchise, working from a well located commercial unit with prominent ChipsAway signage.
Whichever route you choose, you will receive an extensive package of benefits designed to give the best possible start in business. In addition to a dedicated and protected territory, our franchisees receive sufficient initial stocks of paint, chemicals and tools to generate £10,000 worth of revenue. All attend an intensive training course before launch held at ChipsAway's Midlands based Head Office - followed by one to one territory-based mentoring. You will also have opportunity to take advantage of further training in specialist areas such as accounts. ChipsAway undertakes centrally organised marketing for franchisees and provides outstanding ongoing support.

WHO'S IDEAL FOR US

 
Proactive, self-confident, hard working people who have the ambition and determination to build a successful business. No previous experience is required, our franchisees have various backgrounds from plumbers and policeman to teachers and taxi drivers. However, if you are practical and a people person, this could be just the opportunity for you - especially if you love cars!
