All franchisees are required to become registered MerSETA (Manufacturing, Engineering and Related Services Sector Education and Training Authority) training providers. This partnership facilitates the training process by providing discretionary grants to cover training costs for franchisees.

​

We are committed to supporting franchisees throughout the discretionary grant application process, offering guidance and assistance in recruiting apprentices, as well as submitting the Workplace Skills Plan and Annual Training Report to MerSETA.

​

Furthermore, franchisees will greatly benefit from our well-established relationships with insurance companies and original equipment manufacturers (OEM). These partnerships provide valuable support and opportunities for collaboration.

​

In addition to these advantages, we provide comprehensive guidance in site selection and lease negotiations, ensuring that franchisees make informed decisions and secure optimal locations.

​

As part of our standard franchising support, we offer the following:

1. Initial training: We provide thorough training to new franchisees, covering various essential aspects of running a successful business, including operations, marketing, finance, and customer service.

2. Ongoing training: We continue to offer training and support to franchisees to keep them updated on the latest industry trends and best practices.

3. Site selection and development: We assist franchisees in selecting suitable sites, negotiating leases, and designing stores to maximize their chances of success.

4. Marketing and advertising: We provide marketing and advertising support, including national and local campaigns, marketing materials, and social media assistance.

5. Operational support: We offer operational support, including inventory management, supply chain management, and equipment maintenance.

6. Business coaching and mentoring: We provide coaching and mentoring to franchisees to help them grow and develop their businesses.

7. Technology support: We provide technological support, including quoting systems, workflow software, and other tools to enhance operational efficiency.

8. Group purchasing power: We leverage our collective purchasing power to negotiate advantageous agreements with suppliers, enabling franchisees to benefit from cost savings on supplies and equipment.
