FRANCHISEFOCUS IN V ESTMENT: FROM £ 15 ,000 A Kleer opportunity
Established as a franchise business in 1991, Optic-Kleer is going from strength to strength
O
ptic-Kleer is one of the largest independent windscreen-repair- only companies in the UK. It
offers high-quality repairs to private and corporate customers, and has a well- deserved reputation for excellence of customer service. The repairs are normally at no cost to the customer (subject to insurance cover). With franchisees all over the UK, Optic-Kleer is truly at the head of an incredible industry that has customers returning all the time. Managing director David Overton
explains: “I bought my own franchise area from Optic-Kleer in 2009. I loved running my own franchise and became the franchise manager. When the opportunity arose back in 2014 for me to own the Optic- Kleer company, I jumped at the chance and I am now a very proud franchisor.” With over 28 million cars on the road
and one in five of them having a chipped windscreen, there is never a shortage of work, and, in addition to this, Optic-Kleer has very little competition in the market.
"Optic-Kleer is planning to bring on board and train a further 20 franchisees over the next 12 months"
With an Optic-Kleer franchise you are
never alone. Not only are you trained on how to repair windscreens, the franchisor sets up the business for you, including your company and vat registration. Plus, you will have ongoing day-to-day support from the head office in Boston. Once you have finished training, Optic-Kleer has an established market, which means you will earn from day one. Optic-Kleer has national contracts
with most of the UK supermarket and DIY chains (including Tesco, Morrisons
and B&Q) allowing you to operate on designated car parks. You won’t have to go out and find work – it finds you! All franchise territories are professionally mapped out and each one gives the same excellent income opportunity. The franchisees receive leads from Optic-
Kleer’s national and local advertising, and its online presence with their own web page. Work, therefore, comes to the franchisee, as the brand is well recognised, respected and has an excellent reputation. This franchise could potentially suit
anyone, as Optic-Kleer gives you full training and support. Optic-Kleer has people from all walks of life, from white-collar workers who wish to get away from the corporate environment, to shop assistants who want to be their own boss. David says: “Among other things, a successful franchisee needs to be passionate about the brand, professional both in outlook and appearance, have a strong desire to succeed and be a good communicator.” Optic-Kleer currently has franchisees
based all over the UK. To continue the growth of the business and to complete
its national coverage, Optic-Kleer is planning to bring on board and train a further 20 franchisees over the next 12 months. Territories are available across the UK; however, Optic-Kleer is looking to expand its presence in, but not limited to, the North West. David concludes: “We know that the
most important thing to customers is convenience. With Optic-Kleer, customers do not have to make an appointment to have their windscreen repaired, as the business is based at supermarkets and DIY stores, so they do not have to wait at home for their appointment; they can come along and have their windscreen repaired while they shop.” l
