A British Franchise

The directors of Interclean and Fix-A-Chip have an extensive knowledge and personal contacts in the dealerships and fleet sectors of the UK car market and have successfully developed these for the benefit of Fix-A-Chip and its franchisees.

Fix A Chip now has 35 mobile franchisees and 5 retail units.

The Fix-A-Chip Process

Most vehicles acquire minor damage to their bodywork and bumpers caused by chips, scratches or scuffs, seat burns, dashboard or windscreen damage. As the amount of damage increases, the overall look of the cars starts to deteriorate as does the value!

Fix-A-Chip have developed systems to repair minor damage on the bodywork and interiors of cars, commercial vehicles and motorbikes at a fraction of the cost of a respray or replacement of the affected part, and the whole process is usually carried out in less than one hour.

The system involves the use of specialist chemicals, paints and equipment to clean, repair and repaint minor damage to vehicle bodywork and interior.

In the vast majority of cases the finish achieved by a trained Fix-A-Chip operator is so good that the new owner is not even aware that the bodywork has been treated.

Quality - The Critical Ingredient

The Fix-A-Chip business is based upon three principles - the quality of our system, the quality of our service and the continuing offer of value for money to our customers. In all areas of the business our approach is the thorough and professional and this has proven to be a sound recipe for success.

We have developed quality assurance systems and procedures awarded ISO 9002 to ensure our customers receive a high standard workmanship and customer care.

In plain English this means that we not only know how to generate new customers but we know how to retain our existing ones. All new franchisees are trained to use the same quality procedures and principles to develop their business.

The Franchise Format

Our franchise format provides our franchisees with all the training and support they need to be successful. We offer help in all areas of the business including assistance with raising finance if required.

The on-going support programme is equally extensive and includes field visits, on-going training, product and process development, technical support and franchisee meetings.

Franchise Fees and Profit

Initial Fee

The initial franchise fee required to fund the start up package outlined is
£14,995 + VAT

In addition to this you will need a suitable van, plus some working capital for your first few weeks of operation. At the appropriate time we will discuss these issues with you and assist you with raising finance for your business. subject to status, it is possible for you to borrow some of the start up capital from a bank.

On-going Fees

All franchisees pay an ongoing Service Fee of 10% of Gross monthly sales and a Marketing Levy of 1% of Gross monthly sales into a central marketing fund.

Profitability

The profit potential of the business is obviously directly related to the effort and commitment of the individual franchisees. We have prepared profit projections for new franchisees based on the actual experience of our existing franchisees in the North East of England. These show a net profit potential in excess of £30,000 per annum after all ongoing fees, normal business overheads and running costs have been deducted.
