The Business:
ChipsAway International is the dominant player in the lucrative and rapidly growing SMART (Small to Medium Area Repair Technology) automotive repair market which was introduced into the UK and Europe in 1994.

Using a revolutionary system developed in the USA, ChipsAway Franchisees have repaired millions of car body scuffs, scratches, chips and minor dents to the highest quality standard, at a fraction of the cost of a typical body-shop, on a ‘same day’ basis.

With ever increasing demand for repairs carried out each year, ChipsAway has hardly ‘scratched the surface’ on this rapidly growing sector.

A Franchise Option to Suit You:

ChipsAway targets the lucrative retail sector (the General Public) and has two primary routes to market:-

• Mobile Workshop – Van based
  With low operating costs and the ability to provide repairs at a customer’s home or office car park, ChipsAway Franchisees are able to provide maximum convenience with value-for-money service.
  
• CarCare Centres – Fixed Based
  A one-stop shop offering a full range of cosmetic repairs, for customers who prefer to take their cars to purpose-designed repair workshops. These centres offer the ambitious Franchisee a cost-effective route to rapid expansion.

Marketing:
ChipsAway undertakes a range of centrally organised marketing initiatives, such as the AA partnership, and provides a 24/7 central Call Centre passing hundreds of leads to the Franchise Network every week.

Location:
ChipsAway are recognised as the world leader in their market sector and have well established Networks in place in the UK and Europe. Customer demand is driving ChipsAway to further expand it’s operations throughout the United Kingdom and world-wide, as market research shows they are currently dealing with less than 3% of prospects!

The Ideal ChipsAway Franchisee:
ChipsAway Franchisees come from a very wide range of backgrounds. Previous careers include Bank Managers, Accountants, Marketing Executives, Builders, Electricians and IT Consultants. Not only does this wide range of background enrich ChipsAway International, it also sets the challenge of tailoring a start-up package to an individual’s circumstances, experience and personal needs.

More important than background is personal commitment. ChipsAway are looking for ambitious, tenacious and hardworking individuals who are determined to succeed.

Investment:
‘Custom Built’ Franchise packages start from £22,500, with up to 4 modules to allow you to build your franchise structure as your needs dictate. It is a key ChipsAway policy that its Franchisees are not subject to any on-going royalty payments – they simply pay a fixed management charge of £60 per week!

Support and Training:
With the’ Custom Built’ Franchise, you receive intensive training and support options unmatched in the franchise world. The ChipsAway launch structure ensures that Franchisees are up and running in the shortest possible time period and earning money from day one! Technically, the System is easy to learn – in fact you will be painting cars to a commercial standard within a few days!

Finance:
All High Street Banks offer highly competitive business loans and business account packages for new ChipsAway Franchisees. A phone call to the appropriate Franchise Department of any Bank will quickly confirm that ChipsAway is an approved business opportunity they will be delighted to support.

Interactive Open Days:
If you like the sound of a ChipsAway franchise, why not take your partner along to an interactive Open Day. Held in the Midlands, Open Days are free of charge and require no commitment on your part. You will have the opportunity, together with a number of like-minded individuals, to see the ChipsAway System in action, talk to several Franchisees and ask any questions you might have in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
