The Franchise Package

The Investment: The franchise investment is £29,995 + VAT. This provides a turnkey business opportunity that equips franchisees from the outset, bringing together all the key ingredients to a successful launch and providing a strong foundation for the growth of your business.

The Support: ChipsAway franchisees benefit from ongoing, dedicated franchise support. Our team has a long and successful history in franchise development, giving you the comfort of knowing that you are in safe hands.

Mobile or CarCare? Most franchisees initially opt for a van-based franchise but many have developed their business into successful Management Franchises, either through a multi-van or multi-unit operation – the opportunities are endless!

No experience necessary: The unique ChipsAway system is easy to learn - no previous motor trade / spray-painting experience is necessary.

Finance: Reference to the Franchise Department of any bank will confirm that ChipsAway is an approved business opportunity. Loans of up to £25,000 are available (subject to status).

What our franchisees have to say

“We’re turning over £6,000 a week!”
As soon as husband and wife team Steve and Anne Martin scratched the surface of a ChipsAway franchise, they knew it was for them. Within a year they are generating a turnover of £6,000+ per
week!

“ChipsAway provided the perfect solution”
Proud dad Paul Clift is expanding his successful ChipsAway business, taking on a second territory and an additional vehicle, enabling his son Robert to help him in building a strong family enterprise.

“My business keeps going from strength to strength”
Former RAF Engineering Officer, Paul Fabian, joined ChipsAway in 1999 having taken voluntary redundancy. Initially running a man-and-van operation, Paul has since seen his business boom, and today operates two fixed CarCare Centres as well as a mobile unit, employing six staff.

“Multi-million pound business in three-five years!”
When Alistair Hoy joined ChipsAway earlier this year, he had big plans for his business. Having opened a CarCare Centre after 6 months, Alistair has now begun building a team of technicians to help him; he expects to invest in additional ChipsAway vehicles over the coming months and predicts that he will be turning over a million pounds within three to five years.
