Why are we franchising?

We’re Moving has three key reasons for expanding:

- Rapid expansion of our business
- Increase awareness of our brand and business model
- Greater economies of scale

Rapid expansion of our business: we believe that our business model is the first of its kind in the UK property sector and due to its success so far it is important to expand quickly to take advantage of this success

Increase awareness: although We’re Moving has appeared in the national press numerous times over the last two years, high street offices help promote brand awareness

Greater economies of scale: we operate a call centre to support your customers outside your office hours and provide IT support as well as marketing plans and materials. More offices means lower unit costs allowing everyone to benefit.

Franchise details

What is a franchise? A franchise is the legal right to carry out a business in accordance with a particular operational method and under a specific brand. This includes the right to use trade marks, logos, a business system, operating procedures, IT and marketing techniques.

It can be seen as you working for yourself and running your own business. However you go to market with the benefits of a proven business model and a dedicated team supporting you with advice and guidance on how to operate effectively.

How long does an agreement last? The standard term is five years. You have the option to renew the term at the end of the first five years and then again at the end of the second five years, subject to the terms and conditions in the Franchise Agreement. No fee is payable on renewal.

What is the agreement? The Franchise Agreement is the contract between you and us. It sets out both parties rights and obligations without ambiguity so that both parties know what to expect.

Funding

Franchisees purchase postcodes as an area of operation and we charge an initial fee based on the number of households and the average percentage of properties sold over the last 5 years.

Applicants should have personal capital of around £25,000 to invest with supplemental financing facilities which can be arranged through specialist franchising departments of high street banks. We can help arrange this through preferential arrangements.

A monthly management service fee is charged to cover call centre and IT support, development of marketing materials and plans and ongoing development and upgrades to the We’re Moving website and administration system.

Franchise areas

We’re Moving is currently operating in London and we are interested in hearing from franchisees interested in opening a franchise in any location although preference will be given initially to operations within the South East and South West of England.

A typical franchise area for the We’re moving model would be for example, the BN postcode which covers Brighton and the surrounding countryside as far as Eastbourne or a city such as Bristol. Due to the operating model, areas as large as this can be managed easily by one office, therefore increasing the potential revenue stream.
