here’s something special happening in rural Dorset and the clue is in the name: Taylor Made
Franchising has expanded again, creating nationwide business opportunities backed by economies of scale and the kind of infrastructure advantages that can only be found in a multi-brand franchise operation. Founder Darren Taylor has launched
Traas, a new pest control brand, into the UK to complement his existing networks, Wilkins Chimney Sweep and StumpBusters. If you’re looking to make a move into self-
employment, this trio of franchises offers considerable and profitable prospects.
Turning pests into profits Traas, a pest control brand from the Netherlands, is set to offer something different from the established names in the UK market. “The back-office system is second to
none, I’ve never seen anything like it,” says Darren. “You’ve got complete oversight on all your customers and prospective clients through interactive maps. You can report back to customers on what’s been caught, when and where, at the touch of a screen. Invoicing and communications are seamless and automatic, letting franchisees concentrate on growing their profits without wasting time on the paperwork.” And as for winning new business? “The

established players are so big that it’s all about national contracts and large organisations to them. We’re taking the opposite approach. “There’s a real gap in the market here
for franchisees who want to focus on exceptional quality and service in their local communities. From restaurants to industrial estates, there’s an enormous potential to build something that completely dominates the market in your local area.” Traas franchisees are expected to quickly grow their business into a multi- van management franchise, with staff completing the work while they focus on business development and growth.

Having been a franchisee and franchisor, Darren Taylor, owner of StumpBusters UK, Wilkins Chimney Sweep and now Traas UK, knows how to build a successful network
the time-consuming administrative aspects of running the business to worry about, thanks to the technology involved, lucrative opportunities await. Darren says: “The market is enormous.
Restaurants and commercial companies spend several thousand pounds a year on pest control, so you don’t need many clients to build up a strong and highly profitable business. If 50 clients paid £5,000 per year, that gives you a £250,000 turnover, and that’s just the beginning of what’s possible.”
