So, what is Greensquare? Co-founded by Richard Hiblen and


associated national award-winning company, Specflue, Green Square is a market-leading company offering renewable energy solutions for domestic and light commercial use.


“We are able to support the high street whilst increasing use of renewable energy sources across the UK”


Green Square’s extensive product O


ne of the key reasons entrepreneurs give for taking on a franchise is the opportunity to invest in a prosperous, proven business model and make


it their own. But is it really the right time to take on a new business opportunity given the current economic climate? The answer is yes – providing the market is stable and the brand is future-proof. That’s why Green Square has chosen to


launch their new franchise opportunity into the renewable energy market. We are all aware of the dwindling supplies of gas and oil, and the importance of reducing carbon emissions to lower the greenhouse gas effect and help protect our planet. People are concerned about the future of energy in this rapidly changing world. The government has invested in


renewable energy in line with the carbon reduction targets set by the EU. Renewable energy is one of the largest growing UK markets, with a predicted value in the UK set to rise to £50billion by 2020. One of the fundamental considerations


for taking on a franchise is whether the initial business model is successful enough to turn into a franchise opportunity. With this in mind, it is great news that, since opening flagship store earlier this year, Green Square’s business is booming and profits are forecast to exceed £50,000 in the first year alone. Green Square is offering a heavily


reduced investment for their first three UK franchises. Based on the sales figures of their London store, a £60,000 initial investment could yield over £1million. Similar independent businesses in the UK often double this revenue figure. Other benefits of the Green Square


franchise include: • Competitive advantage – associated company training centre (one of the largest private centres in UK) and distribution centre, which has been operating for over 20 years (a top-down franchise solution)


• Exclusive product range that meets the highest European and UK certifications


• Fully-recognised training and qualifications in renewable technology


portfolio includes pellet biomass stoves, solar thermal, biomass boilers, heat pumps and impressive Xcel Heat Bank technology. Every product of the range features sleek, clear lines and the biomass stoves will make a stylish addition to any home. The success of the business model is due to the demand from domestic and commercial customers looking for greener energy solutions. Richard Hiblen, from Green Square,


commented: “Offering a heavily discounted opportunity for our first three franchisees means we are able to achieve one of our business objectives of continuing to support the consumer and the high street whilst increasing use of renewable energy sources across the UK.” He continued: “What’s also important to


us is that in a fast-paced industry sector, the growing demand is met by specialists as there are thousands of unsafe suppliers in the UK due to today’s internet-driven shopping market. By offering a franchise opportunity to like-minded entrepreneurs we can maximise the business offering with the security of Green Square’s expertise.” n
