Running the Business
Once a new job is secured, the stock is ordered by the franchisee, having taken a deposit from the client, which means that no large storage facility is required. The business can easily be operated from a domestic garage. The remainder of the cost (and business profit) of the product is then taken after the product has been fitted.
Apollo operate in the mid to higher value market and their products include the full range of popular window shading products; Roller, Duette, Pleated, Wood Blinds etc. including shutters and awnings. Apollo also offer specialist and eco-friendly products for homes and businesses alike. Full initial and ongoing product training is given as part of the Franchisee package.
Fixtures & Fittings
There are limited fixtures and fittings needed for this type of business, but any existing sample books and other sales aids will be included for complete product ranges in the business sale. A fully liveried Renault Trafic van is available by separate negotiation.

Staff
The business is currently managed by our client but in the past an additional fitter has been employed.
