Franchising

Given the success of the HQ of Boat Mate we have decided to offer territories around the UK and Internationally for those who are keen to take on an area.

Boat Mate is a tried and tested boat valet concept. The company was started by Will Houghton in 2005 and in six years has grown to be the force of boat cleaning on the Thames Estuary.

This franchise will suit you very well if you feel nervous about starting your own business due to lack of business, marketing, accounting and most importantly, boat valet experience.

Boat cleaning is not simply a bucket, sponge and a chamois but has sophisticated systems which need to be learnt carefully. Boat Mate is offering you the chance to become a professional in boat valet, with you own company.

Several of the territories are already in operation, but please let us know if you are interested in a territory and we will advise whether or not this is available.

Our franchise is offering you the opportunity to learn the trade of boat valeting in all its forms. We do not claim to have a wander polish or chemical, we just keep it simple. We use the best products in market from the people who know the most about boat maintenance.

The franchise package includes the following:

Boat valet process training (100 hours)
This includes product and service training to encompass all the valet process’s that we offer. This includes compound buffing, vinyl renovation, teak renovation, interior valet, exterior valet and any other valet services that we offer.

Marketing
A fully functional and well optimised website. www.boat-mate.co.uk will market your area and be ready for clients to be contacting you directly. You will also be provided with jackets, polo shirts, business cards and flyers, along with logos and sign writing designs for vehicles.

Equipment
You will be given all the vital machines and be given full training on how to make each one perform to its optimum level to get the best results.

Support
Probably the most important part of the package is the support. We will support you with business and industry knowledge. We will guide you to how to make the most out of your business to make you more money throughout the year. Without this, many companies fail within 2 years. If you ever have a problem in any form due to your business operation we can hopefully guide you through it.

We are offering this package for £12,500 + vat.

If you are interested then please contact Will Houghton on will@boat-mate.co.uk
