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

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1) High income potential and saleable business.

As a dpac franchisee you will have the opportunity to build a successful HVAC 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 every franchise operates. Demand for our services is very high and you will have a large exclusive area to work within. You will also have business from our national accounts clients.

The earning potential for a dpac franchisee can be seen in the earning potential section of this prospectus.
The other great benefit to owning a successful business is that you will have a valuable asset that you can sell in the future. Not only are you earning a high income, you are building a nest egg too.

(2) Large exclusive territory.

Each franchisee is given an exclusive large territory to work within. This means that only you can operate and market within your chosen area. We have divided the UK into yellow page areas with an average total of business’s within it of 20,000.
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) Repeat business.

One of the great benefits of this franchise is ongoing repeat business from the commercial businesses you form relationships with.

(4) Credibility and use of company brand.

As part of the franchise agreement you get to use the “dpac” 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. Many testimonials are already available……..!!

(5) Training and ongoing support.

Ongoing comprehensive training and support will be given to franchisees which combine on the job and class room based technical 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 dpac 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 to the running of the business. Best practice sharing takes place and helps to keep all the dpac franchisees operating effectively and efficiently.

(6) 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.

(7) 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 quite significantly.

(8) Proven lead generation.

dpac 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 maximize their earning potential.

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

The dpac website is focused on the customer’s need and is a source of information as well as directing them towards enquiries and bookings. We maintain a centralised phone number to pass on enquiries and bookings to you! By promoting our products and services UK wide we create awareness of our operations and generate business for you.

(9) No high costs of recycling WEEE.

Any new or existing company importing electrical goods from Europe or overseas must comply with a UK recycling compliance registration scheme.
dpac UK Ltd are already complying with such a scheme (Repic Ltd) saving the franchisee’s a further cost and vast administration if they were to import HVAC products and start up independently.

(10) National buying power.

As a franchisee you are entitled to the purchasing power of a national group of companies. This ensures that your buying price will always make you competitive with your customers.

(11) Bookkeeping and management support.

A small monthly management fee is charged to undertake bookkeeping, accounts liaison requirements and head office support. This leaves the franchisee free to do what they do best!

(12) Low overhead costs.

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