“By joining Plug and Play and investing in a web design franchise, franchisees can tap into this hugely profitable market”


Customers choose Plug and Play for many


reasons. It is a trusted and respected franchise with many offices, it has a proven track record, with a number of case studies, testimonials and its own proprietary software.


Franchisee Stan Jamison says: “One of the best things about having invested in the Plug and Play franchise is the ongoing support. From guiding client meetings to negotiating deals, the front-line support has been hugely valuable.”


What they can do for you At the heart of the operation is the production. Plug and Play centrally deliver the costly and complex components of a project: the programming, technically complex features and the software development. This means franchisees have significantly lower overheads than their local competition, but a much greater technical ability. Furthermore they provide an extensive training programme, off-the-shelf marketing material, custom business management software and on-going support. During the first few months franchisees will be looked after with the ‘hand-holding’ period to ensure they get off to a flying start. They’ll really benefit from the extensive ‘on-the-job’ training and develop their experience in real client meetings – lead and guided by an experienced member of the Plug and Play team.


What can you expect?


Financially franchisees can expect to generate sales of around £96,000 in their first year, with a gross profit of £48,000. However recently Plug and Play have seen franchisees achieve large sales that will really smash these targets, with one franchisee sealing a £45,000 project in their first year.


The franchise model has been developed to enable franchisees to grow their business to a turnover of £300,000 by year three, with an approximate gross profit of £135,000. For a driven individual the potential is definitely there for them to achieve significantly more than this, and take on multiple franchise territories. Ongoing franchisees can expect Plug and Play to be continually innovating new products and revenue streams including mobile phone apps and online software products.


Is it for me?


The Plug and Play franchise is a fantastic offering that has no comparative competition in the marketplace. The business model itself is ideal for someone ambitious who really wants to achieve something for themselves. Franchisees don’t need any specific technical knowledge as Plug and Play’s development team look after the complex delivery, so people just need to be out-going, ambitious and self motivated. Prospective franchisees will need around £20,000 to start a Plug and Play franchise, at least £10,000 of which will need to be their own cash investment. n
