Business Operation
- Expansion potential:
- The potential of this business hasn't been exploited to the degree it could be. BRANZ surveys have consistently shown that the average NZ house needs at least $4000 spent to bring it up to a minimum basic standard that will prevent ongoing deterioration. Multiply this by the minimum of 5000 properties in a franchise area (currently more than that) and you can see the potential market available. Add to this the Hire A Hubby share of the Energywise Get Warm programme which is now providing a significant workload and will continue for several years yet.

- I have operated the business for ten years and wish to move on.
