UK Distribution Franchise

Franchising has become an increasingly popular means of becoming self employment over the past few years. Some of the most popular franchises available currently are the UK Distribution franchises. These franchises work as both business to customer and business to business franchises.

A distribution franchise is a business that sells products directly to a consumer. The products are generally direct consumables so repeat business is easier.

Franchisors are currently recruiting potential franchisees to become part of these new franchise opportunities. Franchisors are keen to recruit those more eagerly with a background in sales, distribution or in franchising in general.

Nevertheless even if you do not have a background in sales or in franchising in general you may still be considered for a franchise. The reason for this is because training is available for potential franchisees. This is either included in the franchise start up fee or is available at very little extra cost.

Distribution Options

The distribution franchises are available to men in franchising, women in franchising and even couples in franchising as well.

This means that anyone can find the perfect franchise opportunity to suit their entrepreneurial needs.

Distribution franchises

Distribution franchises usually (but not always) involve delivering products directly to peoples homes or businesses. As a distribution franchisee you will be required to work as a middle man between manufacturer and client.

It is often the case that you act as the distribution arm for the franchisors products. This is great in may ways as the franchisor only makes money when you are selling products, but you do need to be confident in the ongoing demand for the product.

Pet food and cleaning materials, cosmetics and motor-trade tools suppliers are all good examples of markets that will be around for along time.

Distribution franchises usually require a vehicle, the size of which is dictated by the franchise in question, if you are delivering large tools, for example, you will usually need a large van.

One of the things to consider when comparing franchises therefore is whether the cost of the van or vehicle is included in the quoted figures or whether it will be an additional expense. Even if you are to provide the vehicle yourself, rather than taking one from the franchisors preferred supplier, the vehicle will have to meet certain standards as it is representing not only your business but the franchise in general!

Distribution franchises often offer the opportunity to work from home, which can be great for franchisees that have children who need to be attended to at certain times of day. The franchise you choose can affect how flexible you are able to be with your time, but in all franchises you are your own boss and get to schedule your time.

Whilst the majority of Distribution Franchises are Full Time business opportunities, there are a number which can be run on a part-time basis, sometimes with the option to build this up to a full time business.

Certain distribution franchises are associated with charities, with a certain percentage of profits or a guaranteed amount being donated to the specified charity.

For some distribution franchises it will not be possible to work entirely from home, as you will need space to store your stock.

A background in marketing and sales can be very beneficial, but is not necessary for a distribution franchise in the UK. Most distribution franchises are sales-oriented, so if you are not comfortable making a sale, these franchises may not be for you. If you simply lack experience in sales, most franchisors will be happy to provide training and help you build your confidence in front of people. Distribution franchises offer the opportunity for steady repeat business that can very lucrative.
