A Profitable Business
With an average 50% net profit margin, this proven multi-van business can, with your hard work, deliver a typical middle managers salary. You will need to be able to raise a total of £14K incl. VAT + personal living expenses to start your local Wilkins business. The major high street banks have endorsed our business model based on our existing sweeps performance and are happy to lend up to 70% of this initial investment (subject to status).
Whilst I enjoyed my previous employed role, I was constantly aware that I wanted a new challenge away from sales, as well as the opportunity to be my own boss. After lots of research regarding the different franchises available I discovered Wilkins Chimney Sweep
Supply and fitting of cages, caps and cowls
Chimneys of fireplaces and wood burner flues
Contracts with letting agents and landlords
Pressure washing paths, patios and driveways
CCTV
inspections
and surveys
Car parks and walkway surface cleaning
