Business description
Already an immensely successful concept in the United States, having been set up over there as a franchise opportunity just over four years ago, this is an excellent opportunity to acquire the UK Master Franchise for Concerto Networks – an IT services and computer support provider to the SME sector. With SME’s making up more than 95% of businesses within the UK – all served by an increasingly fragmented market of usually small and often ‘one man band’ service providers, this exciting new concept is rapidly being developed as the brand of choice for all SME technology needs.
This is a very well researched and clearly defined business opportunity. Prior to launch in the US, where there are now approximately 50 franchisees, extensive research was conducted amongst SMEs, the business services sector and the Information Technology (IT) industry, studying the complex environment of SMEs, the performance and product life cycles of independent computer service companies and the challenges faced by large technology corporations. Against a background of a newly evolving trend of computer service franchises – and working with experts in the fields of engineering, IT services, marketing, legal and franchising industries, a franchise organisation evolved which is uniquely engineering centric and marketing driven. The result of all this, is an innovative business model, which blends technology with human nature to support and grow a worldwide franchise operation.
The scope of a Concerto Networks franchise extends well beyond the pure provision of IT services. Differentiating itself from the thousands of IT and computer solutions, rescue, fix-it or technician labeled companies that are currently in existence, a Concerto Networks operation goes beyond simple troubleshooting and repair, providing a holistic approach to business technology services while offering significant savings and value to SME’s. Typically franchise owners who tend to be IT professionals, offer and sell mobile on-demand computer maintenance, repair, upgrade, and networking facilities; IT consultancy, professional business solutions, software and hardware, wired and wireless communications and other office equipment. As well as the support of an international franchise network, the business can call upon Partners that include some of the biggest IT and telecommunications brands in the world including BT, Vodafone, 1&1, Microsoft, Cisco, Dell and Hewlett Pickard to name just a few.
This represents an excellent opportunity for an organisation or individual with exactly the right credentials to acquire an exciting new concept business – but one which is now well established in the UK, having been launched here in 2005 and where the overall market for IT spending by SME’s is estimated to be in the region of £37 billion per annum. With four area initial franchises already set up and excellent support available for UK expansion from the original founders of the concept, an acquirer of this Master Franchise will be ideally placed to take maximum advantage of this very significant market spend. Relocatable: This business can be relocated.
Location
There are no premises available with the sale of this opportunity and as such the business could be set up anywhere in the UK. Support & training
Full training, support and handover will be provided by the Worldwide operation in the USA together with the current Owner of the UK Master Franchise, supported on an on-going basis by the high-quality and well developed systems that are in place as would be expected of such a successful and mature franchising opportunity. With four franchise areas already established and the potential for hundreds more throughout the UK, this is a great opportunity for the new owner. Reasons for selling
Having acquired the UK Master Franchise approximately three years ago, the current Owner has a number of other business interests which prevent him from taking full advantage of this excellent opportunity. As a result the current Owner wish to pass this opportunity on to a suitable individual or organisation to build upon the foundations that have already been laid and to realize the full potential that undoubtedly exists.
