Below we have highlighted the main benefits of being a Select Properties franchisee which should help you answer the above question.

(1) Proven Business Formula

As a Select Properties franchisee you will have the opportunity to build a successful business and earn a high income, working for yourself, but with the training, support and experience of an established business behind you. The group has a proven business formula which will form the basis on which you operate.

The earning potential for a Select Properties franchisee can be seen in the earning potential section of this prospectus.

The other great benefit to owning a business is that you could have a valuable asset that you can sell in the future. Not only have you got the opportunity to earn a high income, you have the potential to build a nest egg too.

(2) Large exclusive territory

Each franchisee is given an exclusive large territory to work within approximately 30 sq miles from your postcode*. This means that only you can operate and market within your chosen area. (*Except London Borough areas)

The size of your area means that you have the opportunity to build a sizeable business over the coming years without being restricted by a small territory which would limit your potential.

(3) Residual income and Low Overheads

One of the great benefits of this franchise is ongoing residual income from the Landlords whose properties you look after. Once you have a property on your books you receive an ongoing monthly fee whilst that property is being let.

(4) Low over heads and part time

Each franchise is designed to operate from home initially with the main equipment requirements being a computer, printer, fax, mobile phone, telephone, digital camera and internet access. As your business grows you will then have the option to continue working from home or moving into business premises.

You also have the opportunity to begin running this business on a part time basis.     If required, we will take enquiries and handle calls on your behalf and set up your appointments to meet your availability.

(5) Credibility and use of company brand

As part of the franchise agreement you get to use the “Select Properties” processes, systems, name, logo, website, history and stationery. This gives you credibility and confidence to go out into the market place and get off to a good start. It also enhances your position in the mind of potential clients that they are dealing with an established and reputable company.

(6) Training and ongoing support

Ongoing comprehensive training and support will be given to franchisees which combine on the job and office based training.

Support and assistance is continually available to franchisees as part of the franchise offering. See the training section of this prospectus for more details.

Experts from Select Properties are in place to support franchisees on a day to day basis. There is also a highly skilled and experienced management team in place to offer support and guidance in the running of the business.

(7) Assistance with raising finance

Finance packages are available for prospective franchisees if required. A business plan template has been developed which is then amended to suit your particular circumstances. This can then be shown to any High Street Bank or Lender either by yourself or with our assistance. This approach helps secure the lowest finance rates available.

(8) Additional products and services to sell

We will also train you in selling additional products and services which will further boost your turnover and profitability.

(9) Proven lead generation

Select Properties has a proven business formula for generating leads and business for franchisees. This is arguably the most important part for any franchisee in order to maximise their earning potential.

The key area which covers this is contained within your training and operations manual, maximising earnings which cover target markets, sales activity, lead generation tools and techniques, lead conversion and maximising the amount of money in the deal. This also includes backend income too. 

The Select Properties website is focused on the customer’s need and is a source of information as well as directing them towards enquiries and bookings.

You will also have access to Rightmove, the UK’s No1 property portal giving all your properties the maximum exposure to potential clients throughout the world.

We have ties with various relocation agents including the M.O.D. (Ministry of Defence) relocating service families throughout the UK.
