1.How much is the franchise fee?
Expect to be up and running for around $50,000. The initial franchise fee is $30,000
+ GST. There are some additional expenses including training, insurances, memberships,
computer and software and stuff to get you started. These expenses will vary depending
on your individual circumstance.
2.Training / Equipment
Successful businesses are built on successful partnerships and SaveOnBills is strongly
committed to the success of all franchises that join the team. So don’t worry about
a thing! We’ll provide you with ongoing support including a three-week SaveOnBills
training course, during which time you will gain full industry accreditation.
Part of the package includes a mobile office set-up, discounted car lease packages,
access to discounted telecommunication and financial services as well as your uniform,
initial stationery pack and local marketing material, to help get you started.
3.Territories - Where Can I work?
Currently SaveOnBills has franchise opportunities nationwide!
Gone are the days of franchisees working within geographical limits. We know that
word of mouth referrals will account for a large percentage of your business so
who are we to stop you from writing business wherever needs it? However, you will
be assigned a marketing territory which allows us to feed you any leads that are
generated through franchisor marketing and also allows you the scope to market locally,
but if you have a friend or know of someone outside your territory who needs you…then
go for it!
4.How to I generate income ?
SaveOnBills consultants (franchisees) get paid upfront and ongoing commissions in
three main areas; finance, insurance and telecommunications. By sourcing companies
that offer better-value-for-money deals and products and subsequently signing on
new customers to these companies, you are paid a commission for your work. Everyone
wins; your client has peace of mind knowing they’re no longer paying too much for
essential services, you get paid for your hard work, and the companies you recommend
get new business…oh, everyone wins but the over-priced companies charging your clients!
5.Can I employ any staff ?
Generally a SaveOnBills franchisee will be required to act as the consultant as
it is you who has had the specialised training.
There may be opportunity once your business grows to employ support staff but the
image and success of each franchise
remains the sole responsibility of the franchisee.
6.And what about the MINI ?
Our corporate branding is very important to us, as a result every franchisee is
required to drive their own SaveOnBills MINI. Save on Bills have negotiated a fantastic
deal with various Mini Suppliers. After you have chosen the accessories you would
like on your Mini, you are able to either pay a montly lease with BMW Finance (negotiated
at a very reasonable rate) or buy it outright. Most franchisees choose to lease
their Mini, which then becomes a monthly operational expense. It’s also a great
advertisement for your business! MINIs are extremely fuel efficient and self service
themsleves until 30,000kms.
7.Do I need any special experience ?
The beauty of being a SaveOnBills consultant is that no special experience is required.
Although we prefer people who have had some sales and financial experience, the
most important ingredient in our selection process is your passion, your willingness
to help other people and your attitude to running your own business.
So if running your own successful business whilst genuinely helping other people
appeals to you, then please contact us and request an information kit.
