Franchise Business Opportunity!

Overview  

The idea of offering an International Franchise Business Opportunity came when the demand started to grow and a leading hardware store countrywide, started to show interest in stocking our product.  

We strive to become the best international franchised company in the building industry with above average performance and consistent growth.

Our vision is to be a desired company to own and to work for, by all involved.

Buying a piece of a company is definitely less stressful than starting a business from scratch. The reason for this is, that you actually buy a product that's been tested for at least three years and has a trade mark that is already known by many customers. 

Our business started with word-of-mouth. 

We've been building thatch roofs for 10 years and has never advertised until now!  We wanted to test the market with our new product called reed ceilings. The response was overwhelming. It created such a demand that we are now basically forced to duplicate ourselves as we are not in the position to be in every province, city and on international grounds. Being registered at FASA (Franchise Association of Southern Africa), means that we follow the code of ethics as prescribed.

We have a fully qualified operations support team, that offer goal orientated quality support to the franchises on an ongoing basis.   

What we seek in every owner are the same qualities that we expect from our employees; people with extraordinary skills and qualities:  

• Strong business background, with emphasis on interpersonal skills, financial management, or compatible experience

• Highly professional

• Business integrity

• A willingness to personally devote full time and best efforts to the franchise

• An entrepreneurial spirit and a strong desire to succeed

We believe that with these skills and qualities we can succeed as a group!

 Advantages

The biggest advantage of franchising appears to be the reduction of risk you will be taking for your investment. This is because franchises typically get up and running faster, and are profitable more quickly. This can be a result of better management as well as a well-known name.

According to the Small Business Administration, most small businesses fail because of weak management. It is in this area that the franchising option shines the most. When you lease an outlet in a specific area, you are leasing that managerial know-how.

You also usually get better deals on supplies because the company can purchase goods and supplies in bulk for the entire chain, and then pass that savings on to you.

The often-instant recognition from customers is also a big plus. Customers are dealing with a "known" rather than an "unknown." Think about it: If you are driving through a town you've never visited before and have the choice of a "Billy Bob's Fried Chicken" or a "Kentucky Fried Chicken," which one are you more likely to stop at? Until you know  that Billy Bob's is THE place for fried chicken, you may not want to take the chance.

For the customer, the advantages include the comfort of knowing what you're getting. You know that the quality of the product or service at one location will be comparable to that of another location. You know what they have and you already know what you like about it.

We offer you the advantage of starting up a new business quickly based on a proven trademark and formula of doing business, as opposed to having to build a new business and brand from scratch (often in the face of aggressive competition from other operators).

Our brand and formula are carefully designed and properly executed.

For some consumers, having franchises offer a consistent product or service makes life easier. They know what to expect when entering a franchised establishment.

The biggest advantage is to be able to distribute a product that is unique and in demand. A product such as reed ceilings!

Another advantage is that we offer quality training, as it is a top priority at Thatch Reed Ceilings. We believe that the success of the company depends on dedicated, well-trained people and uniform operations from franchise to franchise.
