A great opportunity with Britain's leading franchise flooring specialists
The Floor Coverings International franchise has been operating in the USA since 1990 and in Britain since 1994. Our success has proved that it is possible to change dramatically the way people buy carpet and other floor coverings. The consumer no longer needs to accept all the inconvenience of shopping for carpet in stores during retail hours. Instead one phone call to the local Floor Coverings International franchisee results in a consultation in the consumer's home at a time of their choosing.
With over 2000 carpet and flooring samples carried in the Floor Coverings International mobile showroom, the customer enjoys maximum choice. No prior knowledge or experience of either floor coverings or running a business is required, as we run an advanced training programme.
We give extensive promotional and advertising support to our franchisees. As well as placing advertisements in the national press and carrying out public relations projects, we provide franchisees with material for their own marketing purposes. For instance, leaflets, artwork for local advertisements and marketing advice are all supplied. Consequently the benefits to the franchisee of business partnership with Floor Coverings International (UK) Limited are considerable.
Market facts
- Every year Britain spends £2 billion on carpet and other floor coverings.
- On average people buy new flooring every six years.
- Every year 1,274,000 people move house and most re-carpet.

From 1995 these people have had the opportunity of significantly better prices and service when they buy their floor coverings from a Floor Coverings International franchisee.
Training and assistance
Floor Coverings International has developed an advanced training programme for franchisees. The training programme covers Floor Coverings International's products and systems, provides information to become a flooring industry professional and the skills to run a successful flooring business. It includes courses on manufacturing, installation procedures, and sales and marketing techniques.
However a successful franchise doesn't just require sales and product knowledge. It is our objective to ensure that all franchisees are successful so we share important skills such as time management, customer service, monitoring sales and profits, and communicating well with people within the industry.
It is in our interest that all Floor Coverings International franchisees are well trained in all appropriate skills. Accordingly we invest considerable time to help our business partners acquire them. Franchisees are trained both in the USA and at the UK headquarters. The training costs are included in the franchise fee. Back-up material to help once you have started your business is provided.The education process for franchisees is on-going. If you have the motivation, let us help train you to move towards your ultimate financial goal.
