A Full Ableworld Franchise consists of a retail outlet and a stairlift business.
- For the retail side you can think of the job as similar to a specialist retail manager. Building trusted relationships and giving high levels of customer service before, during and after the sale are paramount. The retail industry operates by purchasing a range of goods at the right price and merchandising them to your customers at a higher price creating a profit for the business.
- On the stairlift side of the business franchisees will need to be able to quote, install and repair the equipment. A background in light engineering is an advantage although full training will be given. Another option includes hiring an engineer if the franchise partner him/herself prefers to concentrate their efforts on the sales and management side.
- You can think of ‘stairlifts’ as another product in the mobility retail mix. Stairlifts are purchased from respected manufacturers, cut to size and fitted. The selling price is higher than the purchase price creating a profit for the business.
