Hands on franchises. franchise opportunities in trades such as plumbing and locksmith business models for men and women

Hands-on UK Franchise Opportunities

Hands on opportunities are practical services for homes and businessed wrapped up as a franchise business opportunity.  Some hands on franchises are management, where the franchisee recruits and manages staff who may be skilled in a certain trade, such as plumbing, electrician services, locksmith, mechanical or engineering type services.  The franchisor will usually offer training and support in skills development for both franchisee and staff.

Other franchise models are 'hands on' in the sense that they offer the franchisee to be trained to deliver trades franchises services directly, and be trained in plubing, locksmith services, or whichever trade it may be, to operate on a sole operator franchise basis, from a branded van basis.  Usually the van will also be kitted out, part of the franchise package and franchisor's business model.  Such trades franchisees can often become a management franchise, from starting out as a sole operator, employing further staff and getting more vans on the road in the franchisees territory.

Explore Hands on, trades franchises below, and request further information on starting your own franchise, enjoying the freedom that comes with operating your own business with the assistance of an experienced franchisor.
