Martin & Co - Residential Lettings Franchise

Who are Martin & Co looking for?
 
Ultimately, what drives Martin & Co’s commitment to such a comprehensive package of systems and support is the recognition of three core truths about franchising: that success flows from attracting the right kind of people that those people will not necessarily come from a property industry background; and that franchisees should be empowered to free themselves – should they so choose - from the day-to-day running of the business altogether.

Training and Support

Franchisees not only enjoy all the obvious branding and marketing advantages that flow from being part of the dominant national player in the sector, but they are also the beneficiaries of a uniquely powerful and comprehensive package of proven systems and ongoing support covering every single aspect of running a highly successful lettings business, with expert help always on hand from members of the company’s highly experienced head office team.
 
As befits an organisation that wears its hard-won Investors in People accreditation (renewed until 2010) with understandable pride, industry-leading training and staff development is a key area of the Martin & Co offering, ranging from a comprehensive induction programme that combines a thorough grounding in all the fundamentals of lettings with a detailed introduction to Martin & Co, to an extensive programme of ongoing training and support designed to enable managers and staff at all levels to develop their expertise and career opportunities within the group.

Financial Information

Working with a dedicated Funding Manager, franchisees receive help with the development of a 5-year business plan to match their particular circumstances relevant to their territory and aspirations. 
 
Initial Franchise Fee = £18,500 + VAT
Minimum Capital Required = £18,500 + VAT
Minimum Personal Investment = £18,500 + VAT

Who's Ideal for Us

Read what some of our franchisees have to say about us…
 

	"We were confident about getting the business off the ground having turned around flagging estate agencies in the past; however we weren't confident with all the things involved with getting to the point of opening the doors. The funding, shop fit, business plans, legalities of lettings, software systems, accounts, joining the Ombudsman and NALS, …the list is never ending... We were guided through the process and have had continued support since launching from our operations director, who always pushes us to do more and more business! We strongly recommend the franchise route to anyone looking to own their own business." Richard Oldaker and James Wiggins, Aldershot
	“I came across Martin & Co and liked what I read, and as soon as I went down and met the team in the Bournemouth head office, I decided that this was the route for me. I simply went with my instincts.   Adam Clasby, Islington
	"Having been made redundant, franchising presented the perfect opportunity to own my own business whilst minimising the risks of starting independently. Due to the success of Martin & Co as a brand and the fact that their business model has been tried and tested over a number of years, it meant the process of obtaining funding was fairly straight forward. Yes banks are going to ask probing questions but the business plan that Martin & Co provide all new franchises with settled any doubts the banks I went to originally had." Ian Waldron, Wimbledon
	“We have worked together before and were keen to run our own business. Reviewing the options we felt franchising was a route we wanted to follow. We completed a full competitive analysis of all the available choices, and Martin & Co won hands down. Not only is theirs the leading brand in the sector, but - in return for a lower initial investment and lower ongoing franchise fees - their package was easily the most comprehensive."  Tony Deveney and Carl Doogan, Sheffield North
	“I am not the type to revel in the quiet life and wanted to prove that age doesn’t have to be a barrier by launching a new business at the age of 64 (in 2006). I worked in the printing industry before retiring and then found I was restless. I have still got a lot to offer, bundles of energy and I am always buzzing with ideas.   Having been interested in the property sector for some years, I was referred to Martin & Co by an existing franchisee. I did my homework and found that Martin & Co has built an excellent reputation throughout the UK and I wanted to be part of that success."  Sandra Reeves, Burgess Hill and Haywards Heath
