Colourbank, the carpet specialists off ering an internet-proof retail opport unity...


E


stablished in the Midlands over 30 years ago, Colourbank carpets and fl ooring has grown to be one of the


biggest carpet retailers in the region. This market is almost unique in that it does not compete directly with online retail. Instead of having a heavy roll of carpet dropped at the kerbside, Colourbank customers receive great advice, free measuring, planning, and estimating, plus a quality fi tting service by expert tradespeople  and a olourbank lowprice guarantee! olourbank is now launching its


franchise opportunity throughout the UK. A franchisee will receive everything that they could need  from full retail displays, computer software, fi nancial advice, and a simple proposition  for success!


“Positive cashflow from day one”


There will be no need for franchisees


to fi nd space for, or hold, considerable stock, as olourbank will deliver precisely what a customer orders to the franchisees via its own vehicles from a full range of stock. ustomers pay direct to franchisees who, in turn, pay olourbank a month later. reat for cashfl ow, with no stock holding required. Of course, the biggest advantage is that the franchisee buys from olourbank at exactly the same price that Colourbank pays. That means no need to pay dozens of different suppliers, just one  olourbank! With preferential prices, minimal time is taken up with accounts admin, there’s no need for warehouse staff, or incurred stock costs  a olourbank franchise offers positive cashfl ow from day one. A potential franchisee may be someone


within the trade wishing to run their own business but put off by the challenge of obtaining supplies at a competitive price; someone without experience who would love to open a shop of their own but is worried about online competition or a furniture store or garden centre wishing to broaden their range or even an existing carpet business failing to make a considerable enough margin without suffi cient buying power. Successful franchisees will not be


afraid of hard work and can expect to be handson in every aspect of the business. mploying the right staff is essential and building a great reputation for service is the way to quickly grow the business to a level where very high earnings are possible within a reasonably short period. Franchise territories embrace a suitably large catchment area, and franchisees will have the option to take on an adjacent area after a 2month trading period. Full training, online and in person, as well as assistance from an independent accountant, is included in the franchise fee. olourbank has contacts with the franchise departments at all the major banks who are more than happy to discuss the best way to fund a franchise. anks look favourably on franchises since


the success rate is signifi cantly higher than it is for independent startups. Investment ranges from around 3,000


to as much as ,000 for a large, fully fi ttedout superstore. rime highstreet or retail park locations are not essential as average sales order values are high, and customers will travel to visit a reputable carpet and fl ooring store. oth olourbank's Leicester stores are in secondary locations where more space is available at much lower rental fi gures. ood, attached parking, however, is a must. Territories are available throughout


the UK, with very few exceptions due to geographical limitations, as Colourbank has its own fl eet of vehicles delivering around the country daily. Interest is already high, so prospective franchisees are urged to make contact as soon as possible to avoid disappointment! l
