What could they offer that would make a franchise a better option
than setting up on your own??

National marketing of the brand.

The question is does that make any difference in this market?

OTOH

"Hubbies have their own exclusive territory with an average of 7,500
households plus all the commercial and retail outlets".

How can anyone make a business in an area of 7,500 households.
Dave's must be 20 times that size.

Population of Medway is 253,500, at roughly 2.4 persons per household
thats 106,000 households approx.

I'm not the only one operating in the area, although I was the first
operating a professional type service on par with the franchises.

I'm of course limited by being a one man band. If I wanted to employ
people & resister for VAT I could easily treble the turnover.



Your site implies there are more than one of you.

Yes I know :-)
