How the franchise structure works
At Your Request franchises fall into 3 levels
Each has a defined role, to ensure the continued support and growth of the At Your Request brand and everyone involved in the business.
About Local Franchisees
Local Franchisees are the owner-operators of their own businesses. They provide the cleaning, lawn mowing and handyman services that form the heart of At Your Request. Their income is generated from the tasks they perform for customers in their territory. The ideal Local Franchisee candidate will have the ambition to work willingly, professionally and responsibly, with a commitment to the principles we value – trust, integrity and excellence.
A generous true weekly work guarantee
Local Franchisees are provided with jobs from day one to reach their guaranteed level of work. This will continue to be the case for the first 10 years of their 30 year franchise contract. As with any successful business, it’s better to build up gradually than be swamped and unable to provide the expected level of service.
Choose your level
There are different levels of guarantee available. From part-time to full-time franchise contracts. The amount you purchase depends on your financial needs and the time you have allocated for work. You will find our guarantee excellent value for money. Experience tells us that the minimum guarantee you need for a full time business is just over $1,000 per week. That said, some of our Regional Franchisees also offer half this amount for those people who want a part time source of income.
You can purchase a higher guarantee level at any time, and we have numerous franchisees who have done this. To cover the work, they may employ workers or ask other family members to help out. Our Local Franchisees generally find that they have more work than they need under a standard guarantee level. The majority of your work will come from your Regional Franchisee, whose job it is to market your service.
Comprehensive support
The three tiered structure of the At Your Request Franchise Group means that you get local hands on support from your Regional Franchisee. Your Regional Franchisee run you through a comprehensive training programme where you’ll learn how to be effective and efficient in every aspect of your business.
Once your business is in full swing, your Regional Franchisee continues to keep an eye on you and will be there to help you keep things running smoothly.
